    Thanks for the new pics. It would be great if you could bring that car to the Hunnert Car Heads Up on June 16 and reunite it with its old track! I know that's a long haul though. I'm glad you saved it!

    That would be awesome! Start a restoration thread. I'd love to follow along
     
  9. I have put 900 35mm slides pics to disc. All drag racing pics from Great Lakes Dragaway 1963-69, Rockford 1965-66, Indy Nationals 1964, Detroit Dragway 1965. About 1 1/2 hour view time.

    Just finished 8mm and 16mm film to disc of the construction and opening day of Great Lakes
    Dragaway 1956, Oswego-Cordova-Great Lakes Dragaway-1957, Oswego-GLD 1956-59, Lightning Rods and Cruisin Angels racing at GLD 1960, GLD Labor Day 1961. About 1 1/2 hour of film. Loads of race cars from Wis and Illinois, not much of the west coast cars but, if your interested in Wis and Illinois drag history, this disc has a lot.

    No sound track. If, there is enough interested buyers. I can have more discs made. Great historical stuff for Wis and Illinois early hot rod and drag race fans

    I grew up in the Grove, and i loved it when we used to sit out on the porch on those hot and humid nights and hear those engines scream off in the distance. Its been a while since I've been there, I'll have to get back for old times sake.
     
  26. I told Randy Henning majority owner of GLD about this thread last week when I was at GLD, he was very interested. I encouraged him to register to the HAMB.

    Whose Nova F/C is that? It appears to be a UDRA inj circuit car.
     
  28. It kinda looks like Larry Christopherson's Nova:
