The pictures you posted of the cars at the drag strips back in the day are awesome. I hope some of the members look at them. If you have any more please post them.
Thanks,

Irvington Drag Strip at an old airport held races in the 60's which was a Omaha Suburb(Council Bluffs area on Nebraska side of the Missouri River). Cornhusker Drag Strip also ran from 1969 to 1973ish which was also an Omaha Suburb which is now Millard area. Scribner Drag Strip opened by the MVTA (Missouri Valley Timing Assoc.) in April 1980 on a old WWII airfild base and closed in Oct 2005. I raced at Scribner from 1989 to the last day it closed in '05. Lotsa fond memories of the place.

I have started a collection of Nebraska/Midwest Drag Cars and appreciate the old nostalgic cars from the midwest area. I have some contacts with one a chassis builder/racer from that era that if I can't help maybe he can. I PM'd you a message.
