How could I forget the 1957 "Rocket Ship".....that car is wicked fast. I am sure I have missed others.

Speaking of "Rocket Ships"....I don't remember Randall Klein racing there, but he probably did. If I missed him, I am sorry.

One of my best memories was telling John Wilson that Richard Charbenau (SP) reset the record...(when we were running off records)....John was a quiet kind of guy....John had his Black Max Wedge 4 speed car and went out and lowered the record a little just to keep things in order...LOL

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.

Same car. my boss at my part time job owns the car now,still has the Olds rear end, it has been rebuilt, my boss has all the mechanical work done, he plans to keep the exterior as is, he is still looking for photos of the car, I was able to find a photo of the car racing at thunder valley in the 80s. only the front end is shown on the photo

[SStockDart]

I see that the Topeka LODR is August 23-24 (Friday - Saturday),,,,,Then Indy, then Earlville LODR September 6. For those of us that need to travel a distance, there is a possibility of getting a number of races in with one trip, plus see some old friends (I'm old, so if they are my friends....they are old too...LOL) We will have to see how things go.

Here is a photo of the Capn Crunch Camaro in the staging lanes at Thunder Valley, photo looks like it was taken in the late 70s. Still lookin for information and more photos of the car. If you enlarge the photo there are names painted on the panel between the back and side glass. We would like help in figuring out the names so when the car gets re painted the correct names go back on the car.
