I came across some old photos...maybe they can jog some memories from back then.

I have another question, could someone tell me if this was John Hagen's old race car, or was that another person with the same last name?

Yep...Hagen, Camp and Morgan.

Barnstorm, thanks for the info, I'm assuming it was a big block car...do you know if that Impala is still around.

Here are some other old pics from Minnesota drag ways...

Nice link Moose, I went through all the photos hoping to see either of the GTOs, but no such. I appreciate the excellent link to the old Minnesota Dragways, sure brings back some good old memories.

Moose,, your photo searches never cease to amaze me!
Here we have proof once again,, that 4-wide is nothing new, in upper shot.
Bottom photo has a very nice looking '66 Goat,, but I'd love to own the '66 442
in front of it. Nice job.

In this old thread, they talk about the "Limelighter" '67 GTO Stocker. But, if there were any pics of it posted, they are not showing up, now.

Here are the pics I have of it, as well as 3 other '67 GTO Stockers.
