Default R.I.P. Palmer Lazarus

All you old time Chicago area race fans. I just heard Palmer passed away Monday. I had just seen him about a month and a half ago.

R.I.P. Palmer......Here are some pic's of Palmers cars

Supercharged 56.............





Late 60's Willy's...........



And I don't have any pic's but Palmer has a 68 or 69 Nova that he drove to the Grove, put on slicks and would run low 10's on Horsepower.......

He had it at most of the Mundelein cruises. I gave him a sponsor pass and we always parked next to each other. He bought the car new in'69.

The nova was a 1969 that he bought brand new. It had a 540 with a clutch turbo and 9 inch slicks. He always drove the car to the track, took the street tires off and put slicks on. I asked him what he would do if it broke. He said he would call his wife and she would come pick him up with the tow bar. Cool guy and a cool car.

It's now running a 540 with a turbo automatic. He bought it new. Ran low 10's. Fully streetable. We cruised together at the Mundelein Cruise. It's got a lot of Palmer's secrets inside it. He had the cam specially made. Originally ran a clutch turbo in it. It is for sale. I believe Greg from Sticker Dude is involved with the sale.
