What are the odds? Thank you for posting that photo, and please thank David for sharing that bit of info! I'd sure like to hear any other recollections that you or David have about the L89 Chevelle. Was the L89 still Norwood's "demo" car at the time?

Gosh, if only the photo showed a little more of the Chevelle.

Thanks!!!

They would take a different car to the track every weekend. I have a photo of a Nova towing the funny car also. That's David sitting on the back of the ramp truck.

Thanks, I was talking about this photo which I think is New England Dragway based on the railing in this photo as compared to other photos from that track. I did an extensive search yesterday on this track and could find no other shots with the Chevelle in them. I also tried CT today with similar luck.
