Agreed it would not be stealthy on the street... I just love the custom paint on the drag cars from the period.

You posted a pic a while back of Bert Strauss and his Astre. The rear quarters were really opened up to fit the large tires. Tommy Mangov ran an Astre with very similar quarters.
I can't imagine there were two Pontiac Astre drag cars, both in southern Ontario with virtually identical rear quarter modifications ... any chance they are the same car?

Didn't Louie Mangov also run the Astre? Looks like the same, with a few updated changes like hood and grill opening?
Zig, whp around Toronto at that time was building cars? Was Eddy Bryk or whatever the spelling, doing chassis yet?

According to the Canadian Drag Racing Hall of Fame website, Eddy Bryck opened the Chassis Shop in 1975. He is still in operation (last I heard anyway) in Pickering, behind Karbelt.

My favorite era of Pro Stock racing. Multiple brands and models of cars in the class. Heads up door slammer racing at its best! Notice the Mopar Missile in the background.
