Cool pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Is that Vette on your homepage the same one you used to race? Believe it was black back in my day.

They still have the ss/aa barracuda

Dick Hanson drove them

when I lived in Aberdeen, John Eischinger brought his old TVD slides to one of our drag race get togethers at a bar there. He had about an hours worth of old picts. WJ, the Grump and a ton of old stock/SS picts. Thanks for sharing the picts. I have some "early 90's" TVD picts, but my scanner died. I'll have to work on getting them up someday. I even think I have a pict of a red 64 in the lanes.

Yeah it's funny who's on here. I didn't have a clue who "big dad" was until he told of the story of the Nova that wore a "mopar performance" plate for a year. My "where is he now", or "dead or alive" TVD question is: where is the "Willey B" Ford Fairlane?
