[b] Here is a shot of me racing the '66 Ford convertible which you see next to the Road Runner in the
posting above. We raced anything and everything we had back then.
Yes I was fast asleep when the light turned green!

COOL!
Exact same colors as my '69 Road Runner was. Mine was a sedan Torqflite. Used it to flat tow my '62 to the track.

Really fast Nova...was THE fastest street car in the "OC" for a while. Ran an 1150 dominator if I remember right https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

I thought this was cool enough to share...

This past weekend at Chandler Harley Davidson...I got talking to one of their sales guys (I was working an event there https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif )...and I found out that he was from Orange County...so we started to talk. I found out that he knew a lot of the same people that I knew...and that we went to the same cruises, too.

Eventually we got around to OCIR...and Wednesday night and Saturday racing that they had there. He told me about a white Nova that he had...and the more he described it...I knew that I had pics of this car. I took the pics in today and showed him...and YEP, this is Larry's Nova...and when he finally put the 2 different nitrous set ups on it...it ran Pro Gas numbers....9.80's.

It was VERY well known in the "street racing scene" in the 80's...and was featured in the Hot Rod Magazines "10 Fastest Street Cars in So Cal" in the 80's, too. I am going to dig out the negative of this picture and have an 11x14 picture made for Larry. Needless to say, he was jazzed to see the pics!

BTW...he was NOT running a dominator...my memory sucks!

Now I just have to dig out all of the rest of the pics that I have...LOL https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Yeah, I remember the Hot Rod feature on that '67 Nova. Had a tunnel ram under that scoop but he was going to cut down the plenum to put the flat hood back on. I wanna say it mentioned that he took great pleasure in taking out 10-second street bikes. I think that car even had full interior and everything. Bruce, try to find out what happened to the car. Would love to know.

I talked to Larry...and he knew where it went for about two years after he sold it. I think he's going to try and locate it again. He said there is a very easy way to identify the car....just think 'driveshaft' and 'coming loose' https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif.

I have to find out from Larry when it was in Hot Rod...semms that I should be able to find a copy of the magazine through a good buddy here https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Ken...this was my favorite car at OCIR...I wanted it sooo bad (but honestly, I probably would have been scared to drive it...LOL)
