I think Grady's COPO Chevelle is launching with Rick's buddy's car in the first photograph.

Phil Woj. </div></div> I am not exactly sure of the date but guessing that photo to be from the early 80's at Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd, MN. I have slides of the car from around 1977 at North Star Drag Ways in Mpls.

Unfortunately no. I have not seen it run since the 80's but will see if I can find out.

Unfortunately no but seems to me it was somewhere in the low 10's 1/4 mile. I have not seen it run since the 80's but will see if I can find out.

Somehow I missed this thread Rich. I love seeing those pics. My parents bought a new 67 Impala 2 door, but it was a cream color, with a tan'ish interior. It had a 283 auto...I remember riding in that car like it was yesterday. My folks loaded all 5 kids in that car many, many times, and somehow we all made it to adulthood, with no one ever wearing a seat belt. I'll have to see if I can find a pic of it.
