What year was this photo taken, Art? Also, can you tell me some specs on it? Whatever happened to it? It looks like it definitely was a street king!

Those pics have been in about 10 different articles. The captions are not right. Bernie didn't street race then. That was the Willowbrook Expressway not the West Shore. That was probably 1974. Tex (Ray) was behind the wheel , Thats me holding the passenger side of the car. It was a 68 roadrunner with my 440 wedge with STR Intake manifold and 2 holleys. It had a Prestolite transistorized ignition so the plugs stayed clean. We drove it from Wetsons (Mitchells) to the Willowbrook. Car ran a best of 11.0's I think we gave that big block Nova the break of the tires. I know we won.
In the second picture you can see Al Masota (Al Cap) watching. I don't know what happened to the car. But the motor is still alive and well last I heard.
Yeah I think we know Norman LOL We left him in Bowling Green Kentucky One year Forgot about him till we were about 200 miles up the road. But thats another story
