Here is a picture of my car it has been around the Maritimes since the early
70's. We have raced at any number of tracks including Sanair,Pennifield,Old Bridge, Mcewen's,Oster bed,Napierville,Water Front Dragway,New England Dragway,.Liverpool,Hfx Dart Int Dragway
Winter Port,Maitland, and our home track Miramichi Dragway Park.
The car has been kept in its original state with some improve ments in the power train and still is a legal NHRA stocker. Our plan this year is to get to the Track in Cape Breton, and run at the North American Nationals in Epping.
The Best ET's at Maitland 11.87@4000# Scales were off
compared to Sanair where we ran 11.91 in the heat of the day @3940# We
did run 11.73 @114.5mph at MiramichiDragWay Park on the best weather day.
