Bill Casey and his 57 Chevy 'E/G' were at Dover Drag Strip a lot.

He was a 'regular'.

301 Cubic Inches, and 9000 RPM launches.

All '4' wheels hopped off the ground when he launched. Incredible
suspension.

Music to my ears and candy for my eyes (as in eye candy)!

Thanks, Paul.

Pete

:cool:

Raceway Park's weekly results paper in the early-1970s I'd nominate as the best track paper ever published with almost 30 pages and for free!

Pete,

Those damn 1967 and 1968 Camaro SS-350 cars in SS/I.

They fit in nicely {10.00 - 10.49 Wt/Hp}

350/295 HP with the big Quadrajet.

Paul,
Did you ever see that "Easy Glider" wagon at Dover? I noticed the M & M
logo on the rear doors of that car...think that was a shop in your area...so the car
must have been local....

Any tidbits on M & M....they still around today?

Pete,

Yes, 'Easy Glider' was a regular at Dover Drag Strip.

1968 thru 1973

It was a 1955 Chevy #210 Townsman Wagon with a {265/180 HP ~ 4-barrel} with a Power-Glide.

#3435 lbs. ~ 180 HP = 19.08 Wt/HP

Billy Liqouri and Barry Weighall had it, and raced it from 1968 thru 1971 in Stock Class.
* 1968 = P/S
* 1969 = Q/S
* 1970 = R/S
* 1971 = R/S

In 1972 and 1973 it was classed in SS/V, where it ran right close to the National Record of 13.86.

Don't say "getting old", say "getting better!"

Pete
