Standing by.....
The winner of this month's contest will receive this Hot Wheels 1970 Plymouth Barracuda...
Here we go folks....
My love for late 60's Roadrunners began as a young kid, when my dad would take me to the drag races.
We'd go down into the pits and watch from behind as the cars smoked their tires during warm up and often would do wheelies when the Christmas tree turned green.
I can even remember a few times the wheelies were so big, the rear bumper would scrape the ground (they forgot the wheelie bar I guess
).
One drag strip that stands out in memory for Roadrunners and wheelies is Lancaster Speedway, just outside of Buffalo, NY.
It had been years since we went and watched the drag races at that place, long before I was fortunate enough to buy a '69 Roadrunner of my own.
So,
Last month mama and I paid a visit to Lancaster Speedway to watch the drags on a Friday night.
Even though the lineup didn't have nearly the amount of Roadrunners I remember as a kid, there was one...
And it was a '69

As you can see below, the car in the other lane just got done warming his tires.
The car racing against this Roadrunner is nearing the starting line when I snapped this picture.
So, for the prize...
What is the YEAR, MAKE & MODEL of the car in the other lane that was racing against this '69 Roadrunner?

And for those of you folks who may be joining us for the first time, you may find this key of symbols below helpful in understanding my responses to your answers.

means I acknowledge your answer, and it is correct.

I left my Ouija board at home, so I'll just take a stab. The only time I raced at Lancaster was in my 1966 Plymouth Barracuda, so that is my guess.
Or it could be a trick question and it is a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda.
1970 dodge challenger ( the black ghost)
It actually in the picture, just invisible

1967 Chevy Camaro (RS/SS), maybe super/street S/ST 10.90 car
100's of thousands of early Camaros are now racecars
my 7.98 pass all iron 468 MkIV rect. port w/350 shot N2O
back in the day, leaving the line after Car Craft CalExpo show, Sacramento Raceway (now closed)
in the mid early 80s
