Jeff
nice stuff. Thanks for sharing the pics. Wild colours on those cars.You probabley saw my Camaro race back then.
However lets get back to finding 68 record holders at the MIlan Drag strip. Here is more info
Also
I am looking for some info on my car origionally from Windsor Ontario
bought new in 68. The car is a black on black m22 488 s. L78 Camaro then converted
to a 427 and raced by a GM engineer working for GM at the time on the Mark IV nascar engine by the name of Barry M.
He raced the car extensively at the local drag strips and at the
Milan Drag way.where he held the track record for his class in 68. He is well known in that area still today as a real pro on high performance. he also ran a 67 Camaro white in colour.He also ran an Opel (modified)
I am restoring this 68 black on black car and have lots of paper work for the car.I would like to hear the stories
of either the drag strip or the street bruizer.He also ran the car with other GM big block engines
which he used.I am documenting the history of this car and would love to hear from you
with any stories.
This is what the car looks like today after a frame off rotisery restoration.
Thanks

Peter,
I'll check some periodicals this weekend. There's a slight possibility I could find something.
Was the car only raced in '68? Was it lettered or named so it could be identified in a black&white photo? What class did it run? Those clues will help.

Looks like Fred Hurst's Injected Hemi A/G car in the background...
