Re: Another Legendary Drag Strip Is Gone
Richard Ruth built the 55 for the studio,I have a magazine from around 1980 with an interview with him.He said before he turned the car over to the studio he ran it at the strip,went 10.70/127. Incidentally,this is the same 55 used in American Graffiti,they put a flat hood and a L-88 dual plane intake on it and painted it black.Changed interiors and wheels,also.

Re: Another Legendary Drag Strip Is Gone
Sad to see another drag strip being sold off and redeveloped. Lakeland was the birthplace of the SSSSA about 10 years ago. Ozzy did a lot to that place to bring it back to a pretty decent racetrack. Thanks Ozzy for supporting the SSSSA.
