Very competitive! But you had better get a semi to tow it.

Can it? absolutely it can, a wagon won IHRA Div. 9 last year. One of, if not the toughest div. in the Country imho.

Put a big block in it and go bracket racing. Luv the wagons and I'm not an OLD guy in my own mind

Wasn't that wagon raced at one time by Rob Robinson the owner of Stark Street Pizza in Portland,Oregon ?
And then went to Southern California and raced there........?

From just the parts listed there it looks like a smokin' deal to me. Too bad I'm already building a race car and just bought a GTO.

Yes, that's the car that Robbie owned and, before that, I believe that it belonged to multi-time World Champion, Jerry McClanahan. That car has a real pedigree. It has seen a few win-lights in its day.

I remember the wagon because of the painted Centerlines. I believe at one time the decals were painted on in a light brown color.
Could it have been Jeff Crezee from Glendora,Ca ??

i drove it in 1993 at the california nationals when vic hobbs had it - and greg dreher drove it also that year it was a blast to drive.( and my first time at a national event) believe John Nickel had it for awhile after Vic did
