Really fast Nova...was THE fastest street car in the "OC" for a while. Ran an 1150 dominator if I remember right

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 )...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
