Boyd has about a million laps on that little Omni at Irwindale. Sure is fun to watch him pick on the Mustang guys.

I'm pretty sure I saw Boyd go in the 10's @ The MATS in that thing..

Saw him a few years ago in this ugly little Omni GLH and couldn't believe it was Boyd Gabel..

Last time I had seen him was in the early 80's with his awesomely beautiful white small block 66-67 box Nova.. (low 10's-high 9's) on a L60 McCreary..

He wanted "5 & the Scoot" from my Dart at that time..

Although my Dart went close to mid 9's at the time, I wasn't giving Boyd ANYTHING.. He was the King with street tires..

He also had a Vega with a small block with an 8" Caldwell tire on it that went deep into the 10's in the late 70's..

The guys in L.A. were so pissed about losing to it that they bought it from him..

Legend has it, they destroyed the car so no one could race it..

Don't know if it's true, but I never saw it again..

Ahhhhhh, the good old days..
