Default Re: Need some Critique on my 69

Here's another shot at Capital Raceway, early 1970s. Best the car ever went with 7" tires and 4.88s was in the 12.30s. Very heavy car.

The aluminum heads put the car in B/Stock instead of C/Stock which hurt the car in ET. Meant I had to run with the 375 hp Camaros.

Here's another nice shot. My work shop in the early 1970's........parent's driveway. I still have that Ausco floor jack. Bought it in 1970 and still with me today and works better than all the new jacks that I own!

Don't make 'em like that anymore. Just noticed that my parents 1966 Plymouth SW is in the back ground. I have the WS to that gem too.

Joe,

Fathom green like just about every other 69 Chevelle. Very popular back then.

Sam,

I have hundreds of photos from 1970 on with racing scrap books. I scanned in many of the photos this past year. I'll have to find more to post. Never knew that many of my buddies took so many pictures.

The new D/Stock 67 Z28 race car that I just finished was at Capital every week back then. In those days, no one knew what a 67 Z28 was. Ray Fairall, the original owner and I became good friends back then and are still friends today.

I would get so frustrated that his little 302 could run with my big block Chevelle in C/Stock!

Those were the days.

Jerry

Here's another gem from the early 1970's. Tow car before my designated '69 Z28 tow car that I bought in 1972.......my girl friend's 67 Mustang fastback. Can't believe it was safe to pull that big Chevelle with a 289 Mustang.

Wow Jerry...some cool pics! Ya gotta love the tow tabs sticking out of the front of your Chevelle.

As far as Joe's Chevelle...what can I say but it was cool! Joe's a great guy as well

Please keep the pictures coming...I LOVE this stuff!

If I had a bit more time...I'd take you up on the picture posting help. Are the pics in slides...or are they actual pictures?

If they are pictures...I might be able to help you out.
