This one was a real "SLEEPER" at the MATS this year.. He did a front wheel drive burnout, and had the crowd laughing..

But then he put down an 11.47 stunner..

They were cheering after that..

Picture was from Triple Threat..I knew I had seen it posted..




Chris,
Do you know who owns/drives that car? Does the name Boyd Gable ring any bells? Yes, THE Boyd Gable that had the wicked 66 Nova on Mcreary's, back in the OC/LA street racing days. He takes that little 4 banger to Irwindale, and the crowd goes crazy for that car. If they only knew what a legend he was on the streets, in the late 70's - early 80's.








NO..I did not know that.. Billy D and I would have loved to have seen him. We go waaaay back..

I wanted to race Boyd's Nova, way back with my blue 68 Dart..He wanted "5 and the GO".. We would have Spanked him and couldn't get another race..

His Vega was faster than the Nova and the Gypsies bought it so they could tear it apart. The Vega went low 10's back in the 70's on Caldwells...Bet you haven't heard that in awhile (Caldwells).


Chris..
