Hey, this is interesting!!



Some may have seen this photo before of the Nova taken by the "Dog-N-Suds," but this video taken at Frontier Raceway in Oklahoma City was the same race we were headed for and fixing to leave on a homemade trailer we had hurriedly put together.

Made it through class eliminations, but was eliminated in the first round of finals. Running in F-3 (C/SA) we were running very close to the record at that time, which, if I remember correctly, was a 13:00 flat? In class runs, there wasn't a breakout rule, so we were could actually running mid 12:80's. F-3 was a classification AHRA designated for all 2 bbl. stockers. Yes, the 2 bbl carb slowed the car down about .7 seconds, but this class was our salvation to be competitive for a couple of years.
