Running Bair
Does anybody remember a guy by the name of Ted Bair? He ran a DY ZL1 in IHRA, back in the '70's. Lived here in central Ohio. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Running Bair
Let me try it this way. Ted Bair ran the #57 ZL1, sold at Brewers Chevrolet in KY. The name on the side of the car was Running Bair.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...5/P7220037.jpg Ted may not have been the original owner, but I met a guy at a car show who worked on his crew, and let me copy these pics. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...5/P7220035.jpg They started out running NHRA, but the class rules limited them to 11.6 secs. They switched to IHRA and set a national class record in the mid 70's. Look close at the hood. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...5/P7220032.jpg All 3 pics were shot at the 1/8th mile track in LaRue, OH on Rt. 42. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Does anybody know what happened to the #57 ZL1, is it still arould? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I would be happy to put the owner of these pics in touch with the current owner. He has more, but I had to shoot these out of his album, instead of scanning them. Thanks to anybody with any info on the car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Andy https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif |

Re: Running Bair
The last person that owned #57 ZL-1, I thought was Larry Christenson.

Re: Running Bair
The ZL1 is restored and in Scottsdale. Dave C owns it. Sending you his email.

Re: Running Bair
Rick, he said it was IHRA. All I know is that he couldn't beat the Hemi's in NHRA, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif so they switched.
Fred, I know how you feel. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif Thanks, Charlie. email sent. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif So, does anybody know who Ted Bair was, or what happened to him? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif |
