Lonnie I don't know the car but think it ran super pro, not super stock. Nice looking car what track is that?? Kim

Re: super stock nova
 

The car is at southeastern dragway in Dallas Ga. That picture was in 1981 and the car did run super pro at that time. I am looking the original owner from 1969 that Arlen Vanke built the car for. The car was built new for Superstock.

Re: super stock nova
 

Any idea what name it was run under in 69? Driver?

Re: super stock nova
 

No, that is what I am looking for. I have tracked the car back to 1981, I bought the car in 1999. The person that bought the car in 1981 went to Ohio, outside of Akron to pick it up. I have spoke with Arlen Vanke, and showed him pictures of the car. He is certain he built the car in 1969 but, at this time, he is not sure who he built it for.

Lonnie, I talked to two guys yesterday both said there were very few nov's running SS back then. The nova didn't work in any class back then and still don't. They could not think of anybody. I will check some other guys. Kim

Re: super stock nova
 

Thanks Kim for checking into that for me. That bit of info may be helpfull. That narrows my search. If anyone that reads this post knows anything about these few novas, please contact me at [email protected] Thanks for any and all help.

Re: super stock nova
 

Only in the lower classes it seems. SS/J,K,L?? Camaros have always pretty much seemed to be the best suited. 66 and 67's ran good with the 283's in them. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif This is just what I can remember and that ain't much!

Re: super stock nova
 

Hasn't one of the team Checkmate boys ran a Nova before? Like in B/S I believe?

Bednaz https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: super stock nova
 

Bednaz?

Re: super stock nova
 

Bednaz?

Re: super stock nova
 

Bednaz - Howie??
I think Bednaz ran (and still runs) a Nova, or two, in Stock or Super Stock.

Re: super stock nova
 

We run B/S. Several B/S out there.

Re: super stock nova
 

Howie, do you think Bednaz would recall this guy's nova?

Re: super stock nova
 

Marlin, They been around a long time. If anybody would remember they would. I talked to John that runs the B/S I helped build and he doesn't remember any Nova's running in S/S class NHRA

Re: super stock nova
 

That's what I thought, the Bednaz boys have their 'stuff' together https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: super stock nova
 

We put them on their trailer last time we raced them. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: super stock nova
 

Ed Bednaz runs in B/S. His son Todd runs in G/SA and I think Ed has a brother who runs maybe H/SA in a 69 camaro. New England boys. I believe Ed ran A/S at the Dutch Classics with the nova last year. Always a good running car.

Not because of more horsepower. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif We don't use ethanol back east. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Hi Sam, I knew that would start you up. Typical East Coast B.S. Blah blah Blah https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: super stock nova
 

Was the track the car raced at sanctioned by NHRA or AHRA? They might have records of these drivers. I thought Bill Jenkins ran a 68 Nova in Super Stock with L79 and L78. If anybody would know the about Novas in 68-69 in the northeast it would be him, but not sure he ever speaks to anybody. Just some thoughts
