Here are some vintage race pics from races that took place at the Keystone/Bison dragways just outside Winnipeg Manitoba. If anyone knows any of these cars or even raced there please post a reply. I have about 270 to choose from so I will be posting over the next few days. 2qwik2c.

OK

Here is one photo , my brother worked for a company called Drag Dimensions in Toronto that made speed equipment. he recently gave me a box of stuff!
this is one of the pictures. someone on the CanadianDrag racing group suggested that I think this was Cayuga .

Yes, stickers in the box , only a couple some small , one very large . he says he has a box of decals alone but can not find it. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif also some Diggers decals and some catalog pages . I had forgotten all that Drag dimensions had made. my brothers were in their teens but one of them stayed there and later at Thrush in the test and development dept.
I will ask about the name. the one guy I remember was Peter Roberts. I am about 10 years younger than my brother so not many name familiar to me . I did get to meet Dizzy Dean a couple of times but I was just a squirt . it was when he had the six wheel van.

Wow that was awesome stuff on Mo Carter, our Corvair club about the mid 80's had one of our events at Mo's dearlership. some of the cars were placed in the show room and the rest were lined up in the garage. it was a great day.

This shot is from the late 70's at Cayuga Dragwat Park. my brother worked for Thrush in the test and development department . I remember when they first sponsered Gary Beck and he brought the car to the plant for the employee's to see . my brother came a got me out of school just for me to see as well.

Yes, the car was a lemans blue RS, 4 speed. It was not tubbed, but wore a class winner sticker on one of the 1/4 windows. I was told the wife of the owner drove it, and they also had a vette.

There were lots of COPO Camaro models that ran at Cayuga when new. The usual colors orange, LeMans Blue, bright Green; several of those and of course silver. No RS version in any color that I can recall though. One burgundy Camaro COPO race car that may have been repainted. Black was not a popular color back then. The only picture I have is of the first COPO Camaro delivered to Belmont Chev. It was the Hugger Orange 4 speed non-RS version. The COPO was out at Cayuga to see what it would do...
