I actually found LOTS more show photos. After tossing that crappy disc camera, I bought a good film camera.

If you want some more <u>old</u> photos, just say the word Bruce.

Old Photos are Cooler!!

I do, I was 16 years old.. Don't have a photo of the show but have a picture of my old 69 Nova.. What a beast that car was.. It was rough but very fast.. I acquired the car when I was 15. My Uncle and I rebuilt a 327 for it.. It had stock heads, Blackjack headers with SONIC TURBO mufflers (remember those??) turned down at the rear axle, mild Edelbrock performer cam, stock compression 9 1/2 to 1, Edelbrock dual plane high rise intake w/Holley 600.. Turbo 350 w/B&amp;M shift kit (that would break the tires loose from 1st to 2nd gear shift) &amp; 411 gears.. What really made the car scoot was the power shot 125 hp nitrous kit I added in high school... The car would smoke the tires all the way thru 3rd gear... I've said it before, I'm lucky that car was not my casket for all the stupid street racing I did in that thing and how "squirrely" it got... Great teenage/high school memories though!! Went on my first date in that car also.... I parted the car out some years back but still have the motor on an engine stand in my garage...

The earliest time I remember seeing a bunch of souped up cars is when my Dad took me to Skips Fiesta on North Ave near 1st ave. in suburban Chicago in the late 60's. I will never forget it.

Sam, I've been looking for something to put the motor in.. Possibly another Nova... I thought about doing another Nova identical looking to the 69 I had.. I have the paint codes for the blue and the stripes.. The guy who painted it taped them inside the glove box on a piece of paper...

Maybe someday..... Rich

My first that I can recall was at the International Amphitheater in Chicago in 1969 or 1970. I probably have some poor quality photos somewhere. Not much of a memory of the event, my dad may have driven me there.
