Jim, got any pics of your car? the only cars that I can remember that fir in IHRA superstock production J was the Dog gone wagon of Steve McCrearys a 1957 283 4bbl stick and, the two ton honey a 1962 chevy impala convertible 283 4 bbl stick. I can't recall any other j automatic cars, but come to think of it I can't remember what I had for lunch today either lol! Don Jackson

Don,
I was just a teenager at the time and I only raced around the East Texas area. We used to have Stock/Super Stock combo's at the area tracks so I'm sure you never heard of me back then. Most of my old pictures were ruined in a flooding accident. I will look for something good enough to post if I can figure out how to do it on here.
Thanks!

Jim C.! How ya been?! I am the guy from Iowa that came to look at your Nova a few years ago. We thought it may have been a Nickey car. You were very gracious and honest and I really enjoyed your hospitality, and your garage!

Re: the Hat. We'd enjoy having you join us. Historically it's been a lot of fun. Look me up in Mission in the spring and we'll tell some lies.

dave seen the lead sled at meachums auction 2007 it looked as good as it did in the 70,s
as an old neita raceway participant i remember that car well along with the coaster wagon
there was always a good personal in the paper after you to would meet on the track
i think the larues had something to do with that then there was the 69&70 pontiac wagons that jerry stealy ran them were definatly the good days

Lead Sled · 01-25-2009, 01:22 PM

Jeff, thanks for your comments! I probably walked right by you at the Mecum auction a while back. I used to own this car with 2 other collectors, and bought them out over a year ago on it. I did go back to Neita Dragway this past summer and we had a blast! I took the car down the track 3 times. I also met the wrench on the car back in the day, his name is John Day. He still races there! Know of him? I guess he still has an engine shop.

JIm, I will shoot you an e-mail buddy! Mine is qcnetworks@fbcom.net Fill me in on that silver "bullet!" Dave
