This past weekend at Chandler Harley Davidson...I got talking to one of their sales guys (I was working an event there )...and I found out that he was from Orange County...so we started to talk. I found out that he knew a lot of the same people that I knew...and that we went to the same cruises, too. Eventually we got around to OCIR...and Wednesday night and Saturday racing that they had there. He told me about a white Nova that he had...and the more he described it...I knew that I had pics of this car. I took the pics in today and showed him...and YEP, this is Larry's Nova...and when he finally put the 2 different nitrous set ups on it...it ran Pro Gas numbers....9.80's. It was VERY well known in the "street racing scene" in the 80's...and was featured in the Hot Rod Magazines "10 Fastest Street Cars in So Cal" in the 80's, too. I am going to dig out the negative of this picture and have an 11x14 picture made for Larry. Needless to say, he was jazzed to see the pics! BTW...he was NOT running a dominator...my memory sucks! Now I just have to dig out all of the rest of the pics that I have...LOL

Re: OLD RACERS
Yeah, I remember the Hot Rod feature on that '67 Nova. Had a tunnel ram under that scoop but he was going to cut down the plenum to put the flat hood back on. I wanna say it mentioned that he took great pleasure in taking out 10-second street bikes. I think that car even had full interior and everything. Bruce, try to find out what happened to the car. Would love to know.

This group was also with well known hot rodder Bill Moorhead and Gayland Hill jr. It could have had a 1150 on the Sb chevy, but Boyd claimed to have many motors in it. The 2X4 setup was on it during the Hot Rod spead though. I don't know if maybe this Larry guy owned the car after Boyd as Boyd "claimed" he got this car from a "lil old lady" in Pasadena. This was and is one of my all time fav's. I do wonder if he ever got that intake cut to put the stock hood on???
