My car was a 1972 Chevy Vega black in color with the number 5380 on the door glass. In that show I did well. I won best competition car,best engine and people's choice. That car was my pride and joy featuring a 650 hp engine,tubbed out,narrowed 4.88 diff,wheelie bars B&M automatic. I raced this car in division5 NHRA at Brainerd. Minneapolis,and Northstar drag strips. I have many pictures still but seeing it on your web site was exciting. Thanks for the memories.
