Nice looking '57 Chevy super stocker and I also recall seeing this paint scheme on some other cars as well...a '68 Cuda rings a bell.

Another Dragway Automotive car, 64 Savoy. This was Loren Zeedyks shop's name and car before he started Zeeker Chassis. Back in the day and as it looks today. The 68 cuda is in the background.

And the Dragway Automotive Super Stock '68 Hemi Barracuda...so who owns this one currently and whats the story behind this one.

Doc Burgess bought the 67' 442 'National Record Holder' from Brainbeau Olds (Braintree, Mass.) at the end of 1967.

I think the purchase price was $4000.

When Doc first raced it in April 1968 (D/Stock) the car was running in the 12.40's @ 112 MPH.

The NHRA D/S National Record was 12.43 at the time.

The NHRA National Record for MPH was 113.63, which was
set by, Loyed Woodland (in this 442) at Sanford, Maine. (in July 1967)

It was still capable of winning Stock Eliminator Events.

But, by the end of the year, the engine was tired from the hard racing, the piston rings were washed out, and the car was pushing oil galore.

At the end of 1968, the car was struggling to run 13.00's.

At the end of 1968, Doc put the 67' Old's 442 up For Sale,,, $3300.

No takers, so he put the car on the shelf, and stored the 67' Olds at his friends Gas Station.

Doc offered the car up to Lee Valentine, who I believe bought it for $1500, sometime in 1969.

Lee raced it in E/Stock.

As usual another interesting story on an old stocker...wonder what ever happened to the Black Arrow Olds, did it eventually get restored by someone or did it end up like his '65 Plymouth, anyone know for sure.

Anyone here know what ever happened to Ed Miller's old '69 Hemi Charger...

[Lee Valentine]

the black arrow Olds-442 is in Florida,owned by a guy who's last name is Martin. As far as I know it's in sad shape and missing the engine that was in N.C. last I knew. Lee Valentine.
