Photography was my other hobby, but I did write articles for local car magazines, and I was tricked into being newsletter editor for car clubs I belonged to.

Here we have a 74 or 75 Trans Am running against a much quicker 340 Dart Swinger.

Here's a couple of 13 second cars going at it. I like these photos as much for what's in the background. Back then cars like this were everywhere. You could trip over them daily.

For those of you who like V8 Vegas.

Here's a shot of their backsides. The 66 Cuda belonged to a friend, and had a 440 in it.

Here's a shot of the Taylor & McNicol wagon. It's not just a car show queen.

Here is the old Payless Auto 69 Camaro. This may be a COPO car. It has the look anyway.

I agree...thanks for the cool shots!

That Vega looks like it was getting squirrely!

It wasn't the best strip for traction, but it was close to Vancouver, and was well attended. As an example, my friends Cuda ran mid 12's there, but high 11's at Mission raceway or Seattle International
