Vintage shots from days gone by!

It's Portland Speedway which is where Anderson is from. After the car was built in SoCal they towed it up there for initial testing. Don't think it was actually raced there but it was probably during preseason hot laps.

 

Here is a shot of Les on the first day they rolled it out of Tom Storey's shop. I was told Tom built the body, I do know Blackie Blackburn was the mechanic. I am sure Les got killed at Portland Speedway testing.

 

That fastback Nova was NOT a GM creation. Bill Thomas built a few of them, mostly for road racing but most wound up on the drag strip.
