That’s a great car to race in NETO only have to run 5 races for points (best 5 )
With e town closing alot of ex drag cars getting sold in the area. Island is still around though as is LVD
Such a shame that E town is gone I raced there quite often.
Cant say I’ll miss the 1am traffic jam on the tappan zee bridge w an overheating truck though like I had w my 70 chopped C10 tow vehicle. Wife and I w our feet up on the tuck and roll leather seat because we used the heat as an extra radiator to cool
The truck in 90 degree heat. �� fun times.

Looks like it was pretty well sorted back in the day.

"10.21 in the ¼-mile. Dad worked with the legendary Dan Jesel of Jesel Valvetrain fame to build the 296-cu.in. Chevy small-block"

Who needs a 383 or a big block?

Cool drag car I'd run it.

I wonder if it's ladder bar.
