John Preston's Wunderbug I/G Karmen Ghia won Modified at the last race at Cornhusker in 73. I believe Jim Grove won it in 72 as well as the division title in 73.

In my notes the photo is from the 7/27/73 National Dragster Pg36. Are you sure about Preston winning the 73 race? Preston did win the World Championship that year with his win at the World Finals(I think or another VW machine).

Didn't Preston win the WCS at MN Dragway that was moved because Cornhusker was closing?Cornhusker was going to have two that year. I think Preston then was Div 5 pts leader and the Groves went to a Div 4 race and made the finals or semi's and won the Division.

Hey I was only 6 years old at the time so you may know more about all that.

We are getting closer to the "Geezer Race"............Is it still going to happen? Any ideas as to who will be there? Is this really a race or is this an opportunity to get together and drink beer (that's not all bad).... I am 1,400 miles away and would like to go....my dilemma is: do I take the Dart.....do I take the Roadrunner that I used to race at Cornhusker...(trailer is not big enough for both)...........or do I take nothing and just drink beer and bench race with my old friends....
