Some cool pics from a small town track in Kimberley B.C. Canada from 1968. Credit to Greg Staples for the pictures. He was there with his buddy who had the 55 wagon.

There's a possibility that this car may actually still exist.

My 68 Nova that I own was from Eppy Chevrolet and it was a l-79 4-speed 12 bolt car I talked to original owner a month ago when he came to my house and seen the car and it was the first time he had seen it since 1983.The first picture is from Dragway 42 when he class raced the car .The second picture was from when I bought the car in October of 1995 the blue paint was still the original paint as the car only has 16,000 mies on the body and the last picture is what the car looks like today.

Rich, The original owner found me through Facebook his friend seen that I was looking for pictures of the nova from when I bought the car as it had been raced at Quaker city and his friend called and said I think your old nova was still around so the original owner found me through the Renegade Racing series ,he emailed me and we have talked a few time and he came and seen the car last month when he was up from North Carolina visiting his daughter in Avon. He told me some great stories about the car and how it evolved into a race car and I also found the second owner on Facebook and all the stories jived so that was cool.I`m trying get some videos and photos from the second owner he told me the car ran 10.30`s with a 331 tunnel ram and 4 speed with small tires.

Here's a few photos from 1972 at the strip. The one kid in the group of 3 photos at the owner's house is who sent me these from his scrapbook.
