I used to run occasionally with Gary Ragsdale when he bought Odie's tan Q/SA Wagon, seems like it was a 396/325 car wasn't it?

He used to tow that thing around with a really nice 70 Chevelle SS 454 car.
I remember it rolling forward and putting a dent in the Chevelle's bumper with the tow bar at Brown County.

Always thought it looked bass ackwards, a sweet Chevelle flat towing a huge wagon...
Of course I know somebody that towed his 67 Mustang with a Pinto too..

Good days indeed

Jerry,

There are still a lot of Schmaltzs' in the area, but I didn't move done here till the 1989 so I am not sure which one it was.

Now that your jar my memory, it was a two barrel

Thanks , Bluegrass X for the post. Those were some fantastic times for racing locally! The 3 tracks around the area would all run classes and have a huge spectator turnout for the bigger money meets. I guess the spectators morphed into bracket racers thinking class was too much effort and expense. Bob Michael

I actually ran into Gary last summer, he said he still had it. I had a shot at it before he got it, it belonged to the son of one of my dad's drivers that did a lot of trans work He did the T350 in my 67 Camaro... danged if I can remeber his name

Gary had a 73-74 Chevelle pror to the 70, it was HUGE and heavy. It was a rare 454 four speed car. Driveshaft retention was a problem lol

The kid Gary sold it to drove it off the big hill in front of my parents house there on Fry road.

WOW! Bob Michael sending e-mail smoke signals from his tepee in Lebanon, Ohio. LOL

Here's a couple of pictures of Mr. Michael back in the day.

BTW you won't find a better ambassador for Class Racing than Bob.
