After many years of asking around, looking for a picture of my Road Runner from back in the day, this morning I finally got one. This car has been in my family since about 1988, and was a wreck then. I have never seen it in good condition. Here it is in 1978-79 at Northstar Dragway in MN.
It's a good day for me...

First off, Ted, YES I am doing well, and have adjusted quite well to single life again. Thank you for asking. Hope you are doing good also.
Mick, if you are on facebook, there is a MN dragway group. Ask there, that is how I got this.
Matt, I will be at Show and Go one way or another.

That is sweet. Cool that you were able to track down some old history on your car, Jeff!

Just put minnesota dragways in the box at the top then put a friend request to them, i have, just waiting for confirmation. Glad you found a pic Jeff and thanks for the link. Just an observation but the front tyres look very small. Mick

Jeff, that is such a cool old picture. It might even be cooler than Darrell Starbirds Superfleck Moonbird! Cooler than a game of sqwidgelum! Congratulations on finding it!

Joel, if anyone would know what it's like to finally find a picture of your car after many years, it would be you. My wallet is a lot lighter since getting that picture. Have ordered quite a few of the missing parts, and I need to get back to work on it. Just can't find much free time right now. As lond as parts keep coming I'm happy though. Joel knows my future plans for this car, and it should be a FUN ride when done.
