My Dad used to work with Lamar back in the 70's at the Newark Air Force Station. When my Brother Brian and I started bracket racing at National Trail Raceway in 1975 (Brian had a 71 Duster that was set up for E/SA and I had a 66 Nova) Lamar sold me a Rossi converter for my car. His cars were extremely clean and fast for the class. He had a blue and silver 55 4 door SS/PA and a black 56 2 door SS/OA. Very nice guy with tons of knowledge. Talked way over my head. Fierce competitor and passionate about drag racing. He passed away around the age of 35 from some form of leukemia from what I remember.

The Mighty Quinn is correct here. That would be Joe Smith from Stoneham, Mass now living in NH ..with both cars!

Think that's Lamar in the dress shirt leaning on his '55.

Yes, that is him in the picture. If anyone has pictures of Lamar Vaubel, I know his kids would be interested in them.

Sadly, Joe Smith passed away over a year ago. It is my understanding that Nelson has purchased the 55 and is restoring it to race condition....
