Tores & Bosz Chevy II
 

Anyone know what happened to this car? I have a friend who is trying to locate it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Rice

I believe the BOSE and TORRES Nova went to Lingenfelter.

Re: Tores & Bosz Chevy II
 

yep, for sure Lingenfelter had it. Lingenfelter was campaigning two cars at the time, this Chevy II and the Monza he bought from Bob Glidden.

Re: Tores & Bosz Chevy II
 

Mike DePalma told me that the Nova he has run on and off for the last several years is the old Tores and Bosz car.

Dave,
Do you have any contact info for Mike?
Thanks,

Is that the same one John ran in IHRA Super Modified with a 'glide?

Re: Tores & Bosz Chevy II
 

Bob - check your PM's....

Re: Tores & Bosz Chevy II
 

It seems to me that Mike DePalma ran a hardtop car. The one that Dan Cyr has now .Came out of Txas ,I believe.

Re: Tores & Bosz Chevy II
 

Yes,John did run the NOVA in IHRA and did very well with it. Rickie Smith also ran in the same class with a car named "COUNTRY SHINDIG"

Re: Tores & Bosz Chevy II
 

Yep. Smith had a Maverick sponsored by a lady country singer. Don't listen to that stuff, so can't remember her name. I ran against the Maverick, never got to see John's Nova run. Do know it was fast. Smith's Maverick was too. Jack Roush engine, don't remember who did the car. Don Hardy, maybe?
They had some IHRA races in this area about then. I took what weight I could (Not near enough, still about 80 lbs heavy) out of my NHRA C/SM Camaro to try to run with them. I could run with all of them that came back to this area but Smith. Royce Freeman (Sr) added weight to his B/SM car to run those races also. Heads up is fun.
