I'm pretty sure Verlyn also raced the Vette I posted a pic of, but must have been in the early 70's.
Early 80's 82-83. got an old Q sheet from bir 87 shows Norm running it, hard to believe that was 25 years ago. gsa612

Just a random qustion,will Thunder Valley Dragway ever go back to being a NHRA track? Mcink please post some more of the old photos love seeing them.:):)

doubtful on the NHRA deal in the future.

NHRA has minimum track standards, i.e., guard rails, shut down area, etc, and those upgrades don't appear to be in the cards at all.

We just need to enjoy it as is, and hope it continues to be open for a long time to come.

The Frank Ham pic was taken by Robert and Gwen Ayers at Suffolk, VA. The Sunde pic is from Super Chevy magazine. Not sure if it's the one I scanned or not.

I seen a few that mom or dad took years ago on the earlier pages. I know we have some but I will have to see if I can ever get them scanned. Sad but I think mom took more pics of other cars than she ever did of the orange peeler or reed's cuda dad drove.

I can't believe no one commented on the little A/Gaser of Jerry Hemmingson. Anyone that is a stick shift racer should know who he is and have dealings with his company. Lots of miles in the years since that picture was shot. Nice pictures... brings back memories of the days gone by, by....
