Default 1971 Photos of My Z/28

Hi All,
I wanted to share a couple of old photos that I recently discovered, of a former race car that I bought back in 2011. Pictures are credited to the copyright holder, the Petersen Automotive Museum/SEMA Digitization Project and they have many more cool period photos at the website http://archive.petersen.org
These 3 photos were taken at the 1971 AHRA Grand American series held at Long Beach CA (Lions Dragstrip).
Some of you may have seen the thread I started in 'General Discussion' over at the CRG forum, or the recent thread I began here at sYC asking about the racing class shown on the car's windshield.
The hunt for more photos continues, but I am super-excited to have uncovered these three shots. They clearly show the original plate number (my username), and the Clippinger plate frame confirms the NCRS Shipper Report info. I still have both front and rear Cali black plates from the car.
