The car in front of the wagon looks like the AMC Gremlin called the PIZZA MAN, it was powered by a beefed up straight six

In the above listed photo there is a Cobra Jet Mustang on a trailer, go to youtube, type in Thunder Valley and Sioux City Dragway Early Days. At 5.51 into the video you can see this car getting ready to stage at the Sioux City (AIRPORT) Dragway it has the name Don Harvey Ford on the side, was not able to make out the name of the driver

How do I post a video from youtube on here, or can someone add the video to this forum for all of us to enjoy.. In youtube search type in Thunder Valley and Sioux City Dragway Early Days, alot of the cars in the Sioux City Dragway part of the video are shown on this forum to include the John Hagen Baracuda pictured above. Very cool to see thses cars racing on the track

Cornhusker 1973 Jim Hayes - Driver



In my paperwork collection I have a few original programs from Cornhusker from 1969 1970 and 1973. I believe I also have a few time slips.

I started my research in 2002. ( see the links below to a few forums including my recent You Tube page)

Team Camaro
http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=198363

The aluminum Zl1 engine that was used to match race (gamblers?) in 1969 - 1970 by Al McNamara and Charlie Jacobs is in the engine section of the museum at Speedway Motors' Museum of American Speed in Lincoln Nebraska.

This photo is only a couple of years old, but, it is the same car as raced at Cornhusker Raceway Park......... The "Don's" on the rear quarter panel was for Don Nicholich (SP) that had a machine shop in South Omaha....I have no idea if he is still alive, and would like to know. If anyone knows about Don, please let me know.

I find this thread short of pictures and comments about the folks that raced at CRP. I will throw out a few names.....John Wilson (and his dad), Garber and Devney, Stan White, Denny Fitch, Gary Vincent, Charlie Jacobs, Gene Bichelmier, Whitey Knudsen and his partner Dick Meirhenry, Rich Mlnarik, Mike Daurety, Fred Anderson, Eddie Rezac, Mike Daly, Patrick Brothers, Ryan Brothers, Charlie Puhls, Paul Jochim, Herman Chapman, to name a few.....I know some are watching from above now......

Here is my question.....how many of the "regulars" at Cornhusker Raceway Park still race competitively at NHRA events.....here are the ones I know: Gene Bichelmier, Dick Meirhenry, and me......any others?
