67 GTOs @ Donnybrook and MN Dragways in the day
 

We were discussing class legal stockers and several ol 67 GTOs were brought up that raced at Donnybrook and Minnesota Dragways back in the day. We all agree that Greg Murnane of St. Paul owned the light green Limelighter car. Does anyone remember who raced the medium blue with white interior 2 dr post car? Some of us think that it may have also been another car raced by Greg, but in a different year. The last one is a dark green with a black vinyl top HT car with color matched Hurst wheels from the Virginia MN area. These were all stick cars that ran very hard in the day. Thanks in advance if you know any tidbits or stories about these cars.

There has to be someone from the Mpls / St. Paul area that has the information on these GTO stockers.

Seen your post but don't really have any info or pics to help you out on this one...maybe some of the other bow-tie guys on here can chime in and help you out.

Thanks Moose, there should be someone that remembers these cars as they were very competitive and were raced in the stock class when new.

Gus Philipich (sp.) had a shop in Virginia, Mn. Flips Automotive, still races ss at bir. Don't know if he retired from the shop. Don Breen is on the forum he would know about the cars your asking about, I think he ran a gto back then. gsa612

I talked to Don today and he remembers the limelighter car, but not the other 2. I am hoping for someone in the day that remembers the cars as they were very competitive GTO stockers.
