Other than the wagon that doesn't go straight, just looks like a round of Super Stock.

Thanks Greg, I thought it looked like a firebird frontend but it was hard to tell. Wishful thinking I guess...I would love to see dads car again. It was like part of the family!

Tracy, thats not your dads old car but I have seen your dads car at that track several times.. The guy that bought it from you guys sold it to another guy from the same town they live in (ashland, Ky) The guy doesnt race it much, its as nice now as when you guys had it..

Re: wheelstanding Ky style!
 
I would love to see pictures of it now...have they painted it or anything? Is it set up in super stock trim or are they bracket racing it.
Thanks for the response.

Ok Tracy, go ahead and ask if it's for sale cause i know you would love to have it back. I have sold a few in my day that i wish i had back. Merry Christmas to all !!

Re: wheelstanding Ky style!
 
You're right Danny...I sure wish Santa would bring me a '67 Camaro! Ho, Ho, Ho!!!!

Re: wheelstanding Ky style!
 
It looks exactly like when you guys had it same color.. I think it has a bracket motor in it now though... the guy was running it in super pro.. I think the salleys were the ones that bought it from you.. when they had it for sale I asked them what they wanted for it cause I thought it would be a good no box car (and eventually maybe get to run some super stock..) they wanted like $25,000 for it ROLLING.. I said thanks and walked off.. Its a nice car but wow..

Tracy Robbins 12-21-2009 02:27 PM

Re: wheelstanding Ky style!
 
Yes that's who bought it from us. Did they say why they were selling it? If I'm not mistaken he wanted to make a pro street car out of it. Glad to hear it still looks the same.

I heard Chris Butcher was manager at Bluegrass now.Not to take away from the winner,but Chris could've brought out Terry's wagon and won that contest on a normal pass.Back before Terry had ladder bars the wagon would leave on the right rear tire w/ left rear about 2'' off track and go rounds like that.In case anyone who knew Terry Butcher didn't know he passed away a few months ago. If you ever went to Mt. Park and didn't know him he was the 64 chevelle wagon that did huge wheelstands.I remember back around 88 he went passed the 330' and I think he won if I remember right.

Mike thanks I didn't know Terry had passed. I remember him & a 64 Convertable that did big wheelstands too.
