Like I said before, this is going to be a mishmash of photos.
Here is a Challenger that I laid out the graphics on in Quesnel B.C. in the early 80's. It's the only photo I have, as I often never saw the cars finished. I ran a mobile service for car dealers all over the province, striping, polishing, and other services.
This was a typical graphic of the time, so don't mock me too badly.

Photography was my other hobby, but I did write articles for local car magazines, and I was tricked into being newsletter editor for car clubs I belonged to.

Here we have a 74 or 75 Trans Am running against a much quicker 340 Dart Swinger.

Here's a couple of 13 second cars going at it. I like these photos as much for what's in the background. Back then cars like this were everywhere. You could trip over them daily.

Here's a shot of their backsides. The 66 Cuda belonged to a friend, and had a 440 in it.

This photo is from May 1975 at Boundary Bay Raceway just south of Vancouver. This was a disused airport and traction wasn't great. This Z28 looks like it was launching hard.
