Hi there guys . I'm looking for some old pictures of a car that was run out of Quaker city dragway back in the mid to late 70's. It was a 70 Buick GS white with if I remember right "little Joe" on the rear 1/4 panels.At a young age this one car made a huge impact on me. Every time that car came up the slight hill after the burnout the hairs on the back of my neck stood stright up. LOL it had a sound to it that was just angry.So if anybody has any pics or info about this car please post it. Thank you for your time.

Try getting ahold of Bill Wills from the penn-ohio buick gs club or gilchrist photos @gilchristbnw.com he was a local track phtographer back in the day for most of the tracks in ohio.

Rob, "Little Joe" is still owned by Mark Busher in Ravenna. He is a nice guy and I am sure has all the pics. you could ever want to see. Let me know if you need to talk to him.

Rob, I am good, thanks. I have found the pictures of the Little Joe. I have to get them scanned and downloaded. Mark ended up selling the car a couple of years ago, and now it is being restored to as raced condition.

It was a stout car! I lost to him in a 1000 car street race at Thompson with my small block Vega in 1983 or 84. Came down to him and I in the finals and he got me by a couple cars.
