Vintage Colorado S/SS photos

[Bill Ringer]

Just a few more from Bandimere Speedway, 1976-1978.
Another of Maurer's '65 Hemi car and I always liked how the light weight front end would shake when he did a burnout- seemed like the bumper was going to fall off! The A-S Nova was driven by Dwayne Scheitlin, it is his brother's car. The shot of Dick Saunders' SS-F Vette shows that wild tree that Bandimere's had until 1977. John told me he still has that tree in his basement!
A couple of Tim Cole- his cool notch back Vega (that's John Bandimere right behind the car). Could that Vega fit in any of the SS classes today?
And at the risk of being blasted for posting a shot of a dragster- I had to include Cole's wild big tire C-ED. Since Tim has been a SS racer for some time now (more than 20 years!) maybe I won't be bashed too bad for posting a dragster picture? (we all had to start somewhere- right?).
The last shots I have to share are from the Fallnationals in Seattle 1975- I have just a few S & SS pictures from that event. I will post those in the next day or two.
