That it was, very. I wish I could answer that one. Time moves on, people change, etc. I dunno...just remember how it used to be and I miss it.

FYI, that's the ex-Wally Booth Rat Pack 1 Camaro above.

Coolest thing about most of these stories are that the runner-up gets almost as much ink as the winners.

Raceway Park's weekly results paper in the early-1970s I'd nominate as the best track paper ever published with almost 30 pages and for free!

Pete,

Those damn 1967 and 1968 Camaro SS-350 cars in SS/I.

They fit in nicely {10.00 - 10.49 Wt/Hp}

350/295 HP with the big Quadrajet.

Paul,
Did you ever see that "Easy Glider" wagon at Dover? I noticed the M & M
logo on the rear doors of that car...think that was a shop in your area...so the car
must have been local....

Any tidbits on M & M....they still around today?

Pete, Thanks for sharing these! Started going to Raceway Park about this time...
I was a "green" kid out of high school...remember a LOT of these cars...

How about a weekly program featuring ALL Categories...try doing that TODAY at
your local track? Very competitive racing...even if a few tenth's off the National
Standards in some cases...


That clean '57 Chev wagon of Ed Franks was later run by Claude Urevig...and
called the "Tape Peddler" I believe...You might remember him after that with a
wheel-standing '71 Chevelle 454 Conv. in SS/EA......

Was Len Mayersohn.....Norm's brother?

Lakewood must have made a killing selling "slapper" bars and scattershields!

How about the guy with Crane rockers on one side and Mr. Gaskets on the
other?......Fun times!!

Brother those were the days ! Now I know I am getting old. Thanks Pete

Nice One Pete,

Bill Casey and his 57 Chevy 'E/G' were at Dover Drag Strip a lot.

He was a 'regular'.

301 Cubic Inches, and 9000 RPM launches.

All '4' wheels hopped off the ground when he launched. Incredible
suspension.
