Lyle won. Re-match ended when 5-0 showed up w/ pistols drawn.

Funny part looking back.now...how 140 + mph tin cans handled a 70's NY street w/o much drama and how a large , quite unsavory and disparite race and age group assembled ..yet,seemed to engage and bet big ,and I mean BIG $$, w/o nary an issue.
Not so today..ever.

This car was my first lead to my cars history. Had Mark Janaky & Paul C. on the trail of this one, but so far have come up empty with no new info.There is a ressemblence from Lou Vignonia purchasing my car in Mt' Kisco & the above car possibly landing up in Mt. Kisco.
Any input from someone out there who might have some memories about this old street war horse from NY? or some more names I can follow up?.

Anyone out there know John Brown from Pennsylvania? He had 2 Hemi Darts he ran @ the Supercar Showdown , Quaker City Raceway, Salem OHIO. One was mine. any pics, video, etc greatly appreciated. When I first got the car I could see the impression in the paint of John's name lettered down the side. The other one was on the front of one of the old NHOA newsletters (w pro stock scoop)

I just thought of Carmen Rotunda..if u can do a search on his status..Think he was working and driving on some of these cars as a hired gun.
Had a speed shop in Union NJ, then Last I heard (10 yrs) he was domiciled somewhere in FLA.
