Wow, this thread's been around since '08! Any "senior" early 1960's racer or fan from around Div.1 remember Pete Murphy and "The Wapid Wabbit"? Car was a bright kelley metallic green, w/radiused rear wheel wells, a 283" '55 Chevy post car that ran E or w/ballast, F Gas. This Nat. Record holding car that was from New England, (central Ma.) raced the eastern seaboard tracks, mostly Orange, Ma, Sanford, Me., Charlestown, R.I., Connecticut Dragway, and Lebanon Valley Dragway, and was the 1964 Summernationals E Gas champ at Indy (before it was changed to U.S. Nationals). Pete now has a '72 Chevelle-bodied Top Sportsman car...."Wapid Wabbit II".....Man, time flies.....WJ
