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.

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

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.
