my dad and Larry Laas went to Martin Mi. one year. ill have more pics of Larry's L78 nova later.......................

















its no "Hotel Collinsville" but we made the best of it.....



this was a challenging weekend for them. they were both deep into the 11's and because they didn't have long wheel studs, they couldn't go faster than 12.00.
