Anyone recognize this Nova
Going through photos on this site in another thread I found a photo of a Nova classed BX/S.
I’ve tried figuring out what organization ran this class and have tried to find more pictures of this Nova but have so far been unable to. Though I don’t have Facebook, so maybe more photos exist on there. Does anyone know anything more about this car? I’m using it as a basis to build my Rambler and would love more photos of this car and ones like it. I’m assuming BX/S is B engine class, Experimental/Stock, but I haven’t found any NHRA stuff like that. Maybe someone here has more info. Thanks.

This is a Chevy II that raced out of Canada as evidenced by the Gorries name on the door which was a Toronto Chevrolet dealership. Also Dragging Unlimited was a Toronto Speed Shop. This explains why you are seeing an unusual drag class denoted on the car.

Too bad the pictures are not better quality. Trying to blow up the signage on the sides distorts them too much to read.
I lived 10 minutes from Dragging Unlimited and often bought parts there.

My experience with experimental class was the car was denoted for engine size first as in AF/X for factory/experimental per NHRA rules. My '70 SS LS5 454 was always shoved in that class if I wasn't running bracket, and I had no chance against the LS6 cars. I quickly decided to run dial in and maybe get a little money, if I won.

I’d love to find out what happened to this car, if any of our Canadian members might know someone from Dragging Unlimited or Gorries that could point me in the right direction. It would be cool to know what became of it. Even if it was scrapped or crashed. A pm would be fine if anyone has more info.
