I raced my '70 SS 454 Chevelle out at TC a number of times a summer thru the seventies, but I have a hard time remembering most of the guys and cars. There is an fb page for Twin City Dragstrip, if you are interested in seeing more pics. Some of the cars I recognize. My car MAY be in one pic in the tower lane, but it's hard to know for sure, as the pic is from the fence and mostly of the other car.

Mitch, I have been on several of the MN dragstrip FB sites for years and check them routinely. I raced there in the late 70's and recognize a lot of the cars. What color was your Chevelle?

Black, White stripe, black interior. The car had 3.73 gears and I ran 26/9 wrinkle walls that I had to keep 12 lbs of air to avoid a bad bog off the line. I would launch at 3,500 and let them spin for a short time. The announcer would occasionally make a comment about how I needed new tires every week.
Where there the day the Snake and Mongoose made 3 runs ?? Totally awesome !!
