Kinda neat ole vintage pic

That pic is stupid cool, Case! And yeah, that appears to be Ed Hedrick's '69 Y-Camaro in the far lane...if you'll think back to Collinsville, that was the gentleman that was makin' laps in our yellow car! WAAY COOL!! I think he was pleasantly surprised with the performance of the yellow submarine through the manifolds and on the skinnies! Heck, Dave McCutcheon's boy, Reid, even got to ride along ride along with Ed on a 12.5 pass!

Sweet paint job on the Cuda...wish racing would take more of a "retro" turn back to those days...

Car on the bottom right is from the dealership that sold my red COPO. I believe it's driven by Charlie Rihl, the dealership sales manager who signed all my car's paperwork. I know he was driving a Z-28 earlier in the year, but this looks like it could be a COPO car?

Sweet pics! Love that first pic, with the cars packed nose to tail in the lanes/waterbox! Those were the days...!!

are the histories of these cars known, or have they disappeared into bracket race beaters or barn finds.

This confirms the history of my car! Now I can put a face (a very young face) to all the conversations I have had, over the phone and via email, with Al MacNamara and Charlie Jacobs. The car still stands as it did in 1969.

I attached a photo from 1969 with Charlie's comments.


Here is the previous discussion about my car with photo from 1969.

SS/E Vintage Drag Racer

Can I get a copy of that Dragster?

Thanks for the post that article was great!

The Dick Arons/Gordy Foust SS/E with the "Berger Chevrolet" on the door, is currently owned by our own Matt Murphy. It was at the 2003 Fall Chevy Vettefest. At that time it was still in its original paint.

From the August 29, 1969 National Dragster:



Hedrick had SS/E MPH record of 125.69 at the time (set 6-69). Stiles the ET record of 11.16 (set 9-67)
