Your Race Car.... Then and Now

My brother Joe and me bought our Nova in 1999 as a Roller from Chet Fincke jr. the original owner/builder was famed Div.2 racer Richard James.

We converted the Nova to a stickshift.

We first raced it in K stick.

We have worked on the car from end to end over the years. The biggest change was to have Dave Cech strip the car to bare metal and repainted it. He saved a lot of weight for us.

Since we bought it, we have always had V8 stick combos in it. The classes we have been in are: K, J, I, H, F,E,D and C stick. Richard did race this with a straight six auto and a 327 auto.

This has been and is a very fun car to race!
