Lyn I think you are on the right track. Knowing the both of you I didn't think you were related as you have raced those buicks forever and I think Clint only raced Chevrolets.

Anyone remember a pale yellow 66 Vette named Electric Banana? Dave Otsby owned the car and raced out of Louisville, KY.

I'll try and find out, the car may be going up for sale. 22,000 original miles, still has the tow bar setup an the front. Thanks for the pic!

Charlie,

I just talked to a friend of the owner, that is not his car. His was always raced as a stocker or a super stocker. When he moved from Louisville to Bloomington, IN in the early 70's he drove it instead of towing it. He said it used a quart of oil and got 7 1/2 mpg driving about 95 miles.

That was the only thing close on Google. With the fake blower scoop didn't think it was it but...all I could find.Tried chasing some old racing photo web sites/facebook sites but never could find anything.
Sorry.

Does anyone have pictures of the Bardahl corvette that was run in the AHRA by the owner of Green Valley Raceway? Raced against them alot in the '70's.

The Electric Bannana was owned at one point by the guy that ran a speed shop here in Middletown Ohio. Margrum was his last name but I dont remember his first (Dave or Jim maybe?). Anyway I rember the car in his shop that was over by Smith Park. I remember seeing him with it at Edgewater even as late as the mid eighties. It still had a clutch turbo in it.
