Steve,

I have a '69 Chevelle that was raced in the Canton area mostly out of Magnolia Dragway from the summer of '69 thru '77. I am in contact with the original owner and will ask him if he remembers your car. Magnolia is still open (I think it is an 1/8th mile track now), but you may try to contact the folks at the track to see if they can help you. Contact Magnolia or call them at (330) 866-1500. ]
