Default Re: OLD RACERS

[b] Found this framed memento while going through some stuff today.
Westhampton Drag Strip paid $10 for eliminator back in '68 - may not sound like a lot now, but back then
that bought better then 30 gallons of 100+ octane gas!
That's my '66 L72 SS Impala in the picture. I had a big problem ripping the rear control arms off the bottom
of the car when I ran slicks. I devised those backwards ladder arms with a set of air bags and it pretty much
kept things in place. To look at it now, it sure looks pretty strange!
Ran station wagon, big block with a/c springs in the front for that gasser look.
With the stiff and high suspension the ride got real interesting at the end of the strip, about 200 feet
past the traps there was this noticeable dip in the track surface.
