Re: Final thoughts about Old Bridge Township Raceway Park
 

There is another thread about the "Hemi Challenge at Indy" on here. It reminded me about something I saw at the Summernationals I wonder if anyone remembers an A/G Hemi Cuda that blew the clutch, so violently, it literally blew the dashboard, windshield, back of the block etc. etc. It was a miracle the driver survived. It had to be late 70`s. I can`t recall the drivers name, maybe someone else can chime in.

Mike are you thinking of John Archambault's 68 Cuda, I had thought it was a A/MP though not a Gasser... I believe after the incident you refer to he put in a ClutchFlite...

Pete, I cant be sure. It could have been A/MP. I cant even remember the color, much less anything else. All I remember was looking inside the car. The destruction that explosion caused was shocking. Maybe someone has pictures. They run those AH cars to the edge. But I`ve never seen anything like that.

This station dedicated towards the baby boomers.

The closing will no doubt put the car theft rings out of NY city out of business for a very short while ! At least it might slow them down. Remember Richie Zul lost his Pro Stock Camaro from English Town and lots of spectator cars disappeared from the parking lot over the years.
