Re: NHRA National Records
Thank you so much, Jonesracing! That's just the information I've been looking for. Very cool pictures as well...Thanks!
Now we just have to get the car done for this 2015 Drag Racing season. This time it will be driven in J/SA instead of K/SA where I ran with it last summer. - Niko / The Driver.

Re: NHRA National Records
I think this might be my dad's old car. He had a blue '74 Chevelle that he raced at Scribner (Nebraska) and Thunder Valley South Dakota in the late 70s and early 80s. He sold it around 1983-1984 to a guy named Jay Roth who was also from Nebraska. He repainted it, raced it for a little while then sold it (not sure of the timeframe). The last my dad heard of it, it was sold to someone who took it across the pond to Europe.
He bought it around 1977 and drove it on the street a little bit then turned it into a racecar. It ran in O- and N/SA, set an AHRA record in 1980 in I think O/SA. My dad likes telling the story of tearing it down at the track (Kansas City) in the middle of a gravel pit and people coming up kicking rocks saying "Whatcha doin'?" It's also the first car I went down the drag strip in, as a passenger of course because the NHRA wouldn't let 8-year-old kids drive. I probably have some pictures of it ... somewhere. I'll see what I can dig up to compare. Pat |

Re: NHRA National Records
Thank You!
Pat - that sounds like interesting information. I hope you can find some pics on it for comparing. You say it was sold to Europe. That is definitely a strong clue, since I know that not many of these were bought here. Especially Drag Cars - I've never seen another one in here actually. Interesting info. If you remember more, please feel free to share that info as well. Edit: I swapped a couple of E-Mails with your dad. Looks like you were correct, this is the same car! -Niko

Re: NHRA National Records
We bought it from Jay and that's the color it was when we pick it from Jay.
