I raced it at Hyde Park, National Trail, then moved to Miami, and raced it at Miami/Hollywood Speedway Park...

I street raced that thing a bunch in Columbus, and Miami also ( young, and dumb then, just dumb now
Do you remember Jerry Ackers 65 Chevelle? It was the fastest thing we had back in that era and I know "Newark verses Zanesville" happened quite frequently. Were you a participant of the Creamery road races?
