Drag Strips of Yesteryear

Geeez Rick, I'm not that freakin' old! ..........Well, I suppose I could have been around when that Nova was in the pits...
Sam, I don't know much history on the Nova, but if you know of a car that looks like that, it must be a match. How many could have all the same features? I do have an earlier pic of a '61 Jewel Blue Vette called the Rapid Rabbit, so it might be his earlier car. I'll dig it up and send it to Belair for posting (sorry Bob, I'm recruiting you again). This guy went through a bunch of cars, because he also owned a dark green '62 Vette with the same name on it. It ran D/MP, and I remember running him at E-town with my '62, later in '69. Maybe he had a few cars at the same time. Not many guys would steal a name off someone else's car.

Just for fyi, that Nova shot is definitely Englishtown, the other 2 are labelled, and the Fred's Speed Shop '62 wagon "may" be E-town, but I'm not sure. That was before Fred ran the Camaro.
The Cecil pic was obviously a match race.

PS: I'll do some more digging. I might have one from Dover, NY
