Anyone know where the Car Craft Magazine Nationals were in 1980? SC/Rambler I am looking to buy was in those races.

Are you sure it's not the Street Machine Nationals? 1980 Street Machine Nats would have been in Indy.

The Street Machine Nationals was a show, not a race.

Cool stuff Bruce,

I've got all the window stickers and plaques from Indy and Springfield as well as all the crap they gave away...sponges,frisbees,buttons, you name it. They only stuff I ever saved. Plus a few thousand pictures.

What color was the S/c? I had an AMX at the '80 show and took pic of damn near every AMC there.

The S/C is all Blue now which is reflected in the photo above. I don't know if it was an A theme or B theme back then, or even the same Blue. George

Tom...what's funny is I forgot I even saved it...My wife was going through a box when we moved here to AZ...and said...you don't still want this, do you?

Still got the unused belt buckle, too!

I dont ever remember the belt buckle..that made me go look at my stash. For some reason I even kept all the participant papers, like the tickets and the thing that you would hang from the rearview mirror to get in the fairgrounds. I also realized I have the program magazines that they gave out at the show. Sure wish I would have kept the damn cars instead of this stuff, but oh well http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif
