I came across this picture on flickr from Mason Dixon Dragway's Mopar day in 1995, and i was just wondering if anyone knows anything about this valiant, or where it is now. I race at MD quite a bit, and i've never once seen this car.
BTW, i'm pretty sure the flickr webpage i was on is owned by a moparts member, i just can't remember his screen name. Thanks- Andy

I remember that car. I have not seen it for years though.
I think Mike Felix, Catman on here might know something about it. I remember him talking to the guy or knowing him or something, but its been years ago.

Joe, Thanks for the info. Where is the Mountain Man out of? To be honest, i'm not sure i've seen him or his fleet of green drag cars around the last few years!
Dahrl, Mike Felix probably would know the owner being a valiant owner himself... Maybe he'll chime in. You getting "Playing for Keeps" certified this year?
I think it's just weird how cars like that (purpose built drag cars) just disappear. It's not like they've been put back into street duty! -Andy
