Anybody know where this car was from?When I was a kid they always stayed at the holiday inn in Kingsport Tn during the Bristol races for a couple years.They would feild dress it in the parking lot on Wed. and Thurs. it was just cool to see.

Could somebody please post a photo of Ritchie Zul. He got more bang for the buck than anyone I saw in the 70's. He had a homebuilt 69 Camaro that had much bigger teams and budgets worried anytime he showed up. Then some jackwagons stole it.

He ended up with Grumpy's Camaro rental.

Back in 72, I worked in a small store/warehouse on Long Island and across the street down a couple of blocks was Richie Zul's gas station. Richie would service our 68 Dodge van which we used for delivery and come down to hang a while when he brought it back. He did a lot of suspension and drivetrain work on my buddie's (who was the owner's son) 72 Javelin and I had done the engine so we hung at his gas station on some weekends and would drool over the Pro Stock car sitting there. In 77 I went to work in a local machine shop where Richie did all his engine building, mostly for customers, I got to do a lot of his machine work on some big name Pro Stock and boat motors he built. Richie was always very serious so he was frequently the brunt of practical jokes, some of which I still love telling.

Good day all. The above posted photo of Doug Griffith's Duster was taken at the Division 1 pro/s circuit race in July 1971 at E.S.T.A. Safety Park
in Cicero, N.Y. I was there and took many photos that day that are posted in the 70's 80's pro/s group on yahoo.com
Great thread though.
