1970-72 Super Stock Meet @ Union Grove
I was given some pictures of an old Super Stock Meet at Union Grove, WI about 1970.
I'll post some of the other pics later, but does anyone recognize this Dodge Dart? http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...hicagoDart.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...cagoDart-4.jpg |

Re: 1970-72 Super Stock Meet @ Union Grove
Great pictures; that's when drag racing was the best in my opinion. No air shifters, to delay boxes just genuine musclecars going at it.
A few years ago I saw an old '65 GTO driven by an older gentleman. That guy could bang those gears and that Goat would run. He had writting on his windows that said "Pro Stick" and I thought to myself; now that would be a great class if they really had it. Real cars with manual transmissions racing down the dragstrip https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif |

WOW Rick, A Midwest Pro Stock show! Can I buy some copies from you? They are great pictures. Looks like the year Fred Gibb/Jim Hayter beat everybody for the gold. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif Thanks, Sam

Fantastic photos. Brings back big time memories. My dad and I helped in the pits on the Gillings Brothers Camaro a few times. They ran UDRA. Fred and Bob Gillings built the engines for the first 2 cars I had when I was a kid- a '55 and a '57. I also bought a racing go kart from them when I was a young-un. They later sold that Camaro and for quite a while raced snowmobiles. |

Re: 1970-72 Super Stock Meet @ Union Grove
Lots of fun to see the old ones in action.
My friend used to know some racers like Animal Jim who was just at Joliet. He had pictures taken there of Jim with his daughter. I'll have to ask him the name of the guy who took these pics. Here's a few more. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...kirkCamaro.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...erCamaro-2.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e4...ySeltzer-1.jpg |

Re: 1970-72 Super Stock Meet @ Union Grove
Fantastic photos! Lately I've been having some serious regrets about the 1970 ex-Pro Stock Camaro I sold to another member of this site last summer. I've had a nagging feeling that something special slipped through my fingers. Still to be determined whose car it actually was back then, but there's some definite prospects in those photos, especially that King Speed Shop car. Thanks for sharing.

Re: 1970-72 Super Stock Meet @ Union Grove
Glad you're all enjoying these. I hope to get more from the guy if he has them. Here's a few more for now.

Re: 1970-72 Super Stock Meet @ Union Grove
Man o MAN Rick, those are some terrific shots! They are so well taken you can see the expressions on the drivers' faces.
Thanks and keep them coming!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif |

He had updated his '68 (still very competitive) with a new front and rear end clip of a 1970 Dart (seen here). Larry was the 1969 UDRA points champion racing his '68. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...-I-Have-It.gif |

Re: 1970-72 Super Stock Meet @ Union Grove
Hey Rick, Do you think you can put them on a CD? I know you could get rid of every one you make. Food for thought? Thanks, Sam https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: 1970-72 Super Stock Meet @ Union Grove
The Mickey Stevens Pic seems to be from Byron and the Lupi Pic looks like U.S.30
