It was a long time ago but I believe it was a '50. When are you getting a new blown Mustang?

Dale----Like Terry said I'm pretty sure it was a 50 business coupe he told me he bought from Jack Worrell. One reason I remember . I had one just like it with 57 J2 and 3 speed. Used to give new GTO's a fit. Like all the rest wish I had it back.-----Danny

Your old '50 sounds like one sweet street rod ride today especially with the '57 engine and the J2 set up. A tremic 5 speed would finish it off ! Don't forget the A/C.

My first drag race was there in 1965. My dad took me to watch Dave Pyle's with his 289 Comet. When later with Dickie Estevez, but by then St. Mary's Dragway (MIR) was open. Around 1977, I helped Tod and Larry when they tried to open it.
Saddly, what little that was left, burnt last year. Wade may remember, but Baden lost one of their trucks in the fire. The Procopio family still owns the property to this day. Until recenty, the property was stilled zoned as a race track, but they could not get a license to open it due to noise issues.
