That sticker looks familiar Dave, probably the same year I was there. I believe they let people out on the big track the year before and had problems, so they wouldn't let us out on it. I would have been driving this cuda.

That green Firebird you were racing against; would you know if that was Randy Nunn?

I checked the original photo and the driver's name on the door was Larry. Possibly Larry Cunningham. I know the car was a weekly regular at Dragway Park. I was going through some more old pictures and the car did eventually get matching Cragars.

I texted my friend about the name of the Firebird driver. He dug into his stash of old Dragway Park newsletters. His name was Larry Kennedy. This article could have been from the same day that picture was taken. If so, he must have beat me on that run.

I always enjoy your passionate and unsolicited verbal hate for the small caps.

What you see there was original to the car and the way I brought it home. I did get myself a set of the mag-looking hub caps and ran them for a short period before going to the rally wheel. The mag hubcap and redlines would look nice on the car, IMO.
