Sam's Time to Shine - June of '74
 

This article is reportedly from a race in June of '74.

I assume this is the Nova?

Yep, the nova. Only car I raced. I have a Drag Times from May 1974 racing the Asay Bros. but did not know that there was another article out there. I am assuming this was also Drag Times. I believe the times were wrong also. We both ran in the 11.50 zone for Small Brute Eliminator

Sam, now your talking &quot;11.50s&quot; the Small Brute comes alive!!!!

I was on the Maple Grove Past Facebook page. Really neat pictures. I joined PA Dragway Memories and Nostalgic Numidia. I'm going to try to get pictures of 522 Cramer.
