I am in Texas right now, but when I get back in the spring I will talk to some of the old Scribner guys and see what they remember,There is still a lot of them around.
If you get down around Glenwood ,south of town is Kevin Taylors shop, he used to have boxes of pics stuck away, he also remembers almost everyone,he worked for Mike Daly part of the time .

Answer: I was driving a 1969 SS427 - SS/E Chevelle. It was owned by Denny Fitch and I drove. Black and white.

Gary, The car was called the H&F Express (Hansen & Fitch) and I once almost backed it off the trailer when it was in the driveway when I was in there screwing around as a little kid....Who am I???

Re: Cornhusker Raceway Park

My dad had a Black and White Chevelle called the H&F Express that he ran at Cornhusker. Last he knew the Chevelle was purchased by someone in Blair, Ne. Anyone know what became of it. My father (Denny) still has a whole bunch of the circular window stickers from Cornhusker Speedway. We put them in the back of our 68 Chevelle that we still own.

Gary Hansen if you read this my Dad would love to get in touch with you. message me with your email address.

I talked with your dad, glad he is doing OK.... And, that 1969 SS427 Chevelle was fast and we won a few with it.

In my paperwork collection I have a few original programs from Cornhusker from 1969 1970 and 1973. I believe I also have a few time slips.

I started my research in 2002. ( see the links below to a few forums including my recent You Tube page)

The aluminum Zl1 engine that was used to match race (gamblers?) in 1969 - 1970 by Al McNamara and Charlie Jacobs is in the engine section of the museum at Speedway Motors' Museum of American Speed in Lincoln Nebraska.

I would like to thank Al Howe for bringing this great site to my attention!

For those of us that were there, it is unbelievable that SS/E (and EA) are 2 seconds faster now.....than Jacobs was then....
