Do you have any pictures of his cars? My dad took me to Thunder Valley for the first time in about 68 or 69 when I was about 7 or 8! I have been a gearhead since! What a great place!

He raced there and Sioux City dragway during the late sixties. He qualified for the Quad State Championships with his '66 Coronet 383 4spd car in '67.

Does anyone remember this car? It sat way up in the front with a straight axle! I would love to see a picture of this car again. There are alot of GOOD time had at that place over the years! I hope it stays around another 40.
