Chuck is right on except for the purchase date, which was May of 1980. The attached picture is from Ontario World Final 1980. That was the only race where I won a round with the car.

Yeah,, I remember it. Martin Millner's partner in the series, Kent McCord? (I'm going off of memory here) , ran a car against a Camaro driven by a fellow officer( Crosby's kid?), and cleaned his clock. Don't remember where they ran,, maybe its on youtube,, it was a long, long time ago.

Now that I had a chance to click on the previous posts and watch the old episode, I see that officer Reed ran an old Ford against the Camaro that had "problems" launching off the line. Oh,, what a script! Still,, it was entertaining.

Danny, the Adam 12 drag racing episode was titled "Who Won", and has been shown at least 3 times in 2014 on "MeTV" KVOS in Seattle. This channel shows many old TV shows, including Dragnet, Adam 12, Chips, Route 66, as well as some 50s shows like I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver,the Donna Reed show etc. That "old Ford" that was featured on Adam 12 was Ted Wells 1954 Ford Modified Production car, powered by a 352 Ford and 4 speed, before he raced his SS/D 427 Fairlane. I keep my eye on the MeTV schedule guide for the Chips race episode, I remember seeing it many years ago, and remember Ponch pulling the chute on the Corvette while chasing some bad guys, and they were going too slow, and the chute just kinda fell onto the road.

Cool Re: ChiPs Dragracing episode

The Adam 12 incident was shot at Lions Drag Strip in mid' 72, just before the track closed. Can you imagine racing a fast Camaro without a helmet today?There was an episode of the Munsters shot down thee a few years earlier called Hot Rod Herman or something like that. Seems that drag racing wasn't a four letter word then like it became later, although its cool again. Support your local track and race all you can before its a nostalgic memory like these places are.

Larry Wilcox was involved in a Ford or Mercury land speed racing deal in the early 80's. They were promoting the CHV Escort style engine and he drove a EXP or LN7 and they also had a streamliner with the engine.
