67 GTOs @ Donnybrook and MN Dragways in the day

[Hemi Moose]

I have another question, could someone tell me if this was John Hagen's old race car, or was that another person with the same last name?

[Barnstorm]

Yep...Hagen, Camp and Morgan.

Barnstorm, thanks for the info, I'm assuming it was a big block car...do you know if that Impala is still around.

Here are some other old pics from Minnesota drag ways...

Nice link Moose, I went through all the photos hoping to see either of the GTOs, but no such. I appreciate the excellent link to the old Minnesota Dragways, sure brings back some good old memories.

Wonder if Arnie and that car ever squared off??? I believe it was a '67 model. Gorgeous car...

...I just remembered the name of the guy with the "Limefire" GTO... "Greg Murnane." not that it matters now.

I seen this old post in another thread, maybe Bill might have some additional info about them...

I believe that it was named " Limelighter " and it was owned and raced by Greg Murnane of St. Paul. It was light green with a black vinyl top. The other two stick cars were hard runners too. I talked to the dark green car's owner at Red River Valley Dragways ( Sabin, MN ) in the day and he mentioned that it was purchased and set up at Royal Pontiac in Royal Oak, MI. I remember that he put away a hemi plymouth for top stock on that Sunday. I hope to chase this down and hopefully figure out who owned those good running 67 Goats. By the way Moose, nice shot of the old Minnesota Dragways. I found that one and many other photos from there in my search to run this down. Thanks to all the posters on the thread.
