----Boy,,,For those ETs they were sure MPHing that Camaro. Was it raced with the aluminum block??? Funny, I dont remember seeing the car back then as I haunted Dragway 42.I used to go down there with an older buddy who raced at 42 whenever the gates were open named Jerry Ferrell. Jerry was one of my heros. He had his basicly stock 63 340hp Vette in the twelves in the summer of 63. No one else was able to pull that off til maybe a year later......Bill S

Sam, Not sure if you are talking about my Chevelle but Evans was dealer that delivered mine. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif
The Burgundy 69 Nova did come from Lyle though. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Here's a link to a photographer I found that took many pics of 42 and TDR. Looks like he's selling pics if someones interested. Grump pics, Hutter, and Jungle Pam pics, and more! Also click on his Drag Racing bar on LH side. C
