Little late now! Tell it!


Can you give me some approximate dates that you guys raced in Minnesota and at what tracks? I have several hundred photos of MN drag strips and will look through them so see if either car is on them.

That picture of Psycho was taken in 66......About a month or so later is when we were at Edgewater Raceway outside Cincinnati for another UDRA meet and that is when a broken valve took the engine out.....and that was the last time the car was out for a while.........

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: kwhizz</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> I was digging around in some old picture albums and I found a picture of the 66 L-79 car when it new........We were living in Chicago (obviously) at the time and the picture was taken at Paulettes Grandparents house in Wisconsin......the odd thing is, is that we ended up 6 years later buying a new house that was built on the lot next to her grandparents house......Here's a picture of the Nova in the driveway..........




Then......I came across this poor quality picture of Joe Szabo's Psycho Gasser.....As I remember thia picture was taken on a weekend trip to Minnesota for a UDRA meet........The car was trailered and was towed by Szabo's Ford station wagon...The car never got off the trailer that weekend as it rained the entire weekend.......



Also.......my arm is getting twisted to tell the &quot;Other&quot; story.....(Stefano??).....but....maybe some things are best left unsaid.......LOL

</div></div>Ken, A GREAT picture of your nova!!
