I'm actually going to be 70 this year. These are the two cars I drove during that time frame.

Yes, Pete was a good friend of mine and the fellow with the 1967 Barracuda Red Light Bandit was another good friend, Tom Kasprzyk. The Heartbreak Hotel was Tom's next car after he sold the Barracuda. Both were 340 4 speed cars. The pictures I picked up were from Rob Potter who was a track...

These are a couple of pictures of my car and my friend's 73 Roadrunner. We ran as a team in the weekly bracket racing series.

I went to a drag racing memories show today and picked up some pictures of some of my racing buddies from back in the day. The first pic is the fellow I bought most of my used parts from for my first race car, as he stepped his up. The second is my buddy who helped me build and dyno my...

The black Superbird used to belong to a buddy of mine, and has since been restored back to it's original green.

Thanks Dave, that article was published in October of 1992, and the pictures were taken about a year earlier. 32 years ago, man am I old!

Not sure if you will be able to open these pictures from a magazine article on the car from Musclecar review.

My 1968 Barracuda Formula S 340 notch ran a 14.25 at Cayuga. It had 50,000 original miles and was absolutely bone stock with 3.23 gears.

Love it!

Is that 68 drafting two first gens?

Sorry fat finger

Here you go. The Astre was actually called Chief Chilly Willy, since it was a Pontiac.

Dave, I believe it was originally a Willys Coupe, hence the name. The next version was the Gremlin, and the last one I remember was an ex pro stock Astre (that is a Vega to those south of the border)

Chilly Willy was a regular at my home track Dragway Park in Cayuga, Ontario.

Does the hood insert say 426?
