H/Stock 1957 Chevy "In-Bomber" Omaha NE late 60's
Looking for any photos or footage of the car. 1957 Chevy 210 sport coupe "In-Bomber" run out of Omaha Nebraska in the late 60's by the Patrick Bros (Don and Ken) and Ken Nelson. Fred Anderson ("Tension" Team driver) drove the car to H/Stock class victory at the 1968 NHRA Nationals at Indy. The car ran I/Stock the following year, competiting in the NHRA Winternationals at Pomona, '69 Springnationals at Dallas and '69 Indy Nationals. Also raced at Sioux City, Denver, Miniapolis, Cornhusker, Raceland/Charlie's Speedway, Kansas, Thunder Valley etc... Any help would be great! Thanks

I will ask my dad if he has any video of it. He has a little Super-8 footage from Omaha and Cornhusker Dragways.

There were 3 different cars.This car [the 210 HT] sat by an old barn in Craig Neraska. [Patrick Bros home town] untill about 2 years ago, a local Omaha fellow, [and I do not know his name], bought it. The "Good Intension" was Fred Anderson and Wally Nisson's Car [a Green Belair hardtop]. Tenision, was Donnie Stephenson's white 2dr 210. Fred drove all 3 cars on different occasions.

Re: H/Stock 1957 Chevy "In-Bomber" Omaha NE late 60's
Eddie,
I was at Tulsa for the NHRA Finals in '67 and I heard that a Tension Team car had been in a pit accident on Friday or Saturday, and couldn't race Sunday, because of the damage to the car. The ex-Jere Stahl "Plaza Shell" yellow wagon was raced in its place. Made it to the final round. Which one of the Tension Team cars was that that was damaged? Do you remember? Was it ever repaired to continue racing? Fred used to bring a white '57 270 4-speed car over from Omaha and run it at Des Moines Dragway when I was the tech guy over there. It was a pristine car, but I seemed to remember that it was a 2-door hardtop. Maybe a Bel Air... not sure; could have been a 210. Is my memory going, or did Fred have a hardtop at one time? This was in '67, as I remember... Thanks for any information.
