Team "Check Mate"

I too love looking @ pics like these.
I was a kid during this time, my dad took me to the drags all the time, I had a National dragster subscription of my own and couldnt wait to get it. I never read it, just looked at pictures.
Mike, I remember your cars from pics with the Checkmate name on it, but didnt Fletchers dads cars have the same name also around this time?
Thanks. Please post more pictures from this era if you have any.

Luke--Sorry for the delay in answering your kind words about the Cavalier and I hear your new ride looks great! As usual Pustelny did a great job on the chassis and now we just have to get you going fast. So far so good Merc tells me.... so let's just keep workin on it!

Tony..I know Dan ran the Checkmate name on his 69 SS car but I didn't know his Dad did...Bob sid he will be posting more photos soon, but if anyone has any photos of the Camaro that I ran with Maskin I would appreciate seeing them. The car was only run with the blue & white colors in 1970. I must have some somewhere but I can't put my fingers on them right now so they must be in storage. Maybe Arons, or Maskin have some.....
