I wish that I was around back then. I would have loved to go to thoes old drag strips! I have many old poloroid pictures that my father took at Union Grove Wis. in the summer of 1969. I am going to bring them to Vette Fest to show anyone interested. Their is a cool one of a ZL1 prepared 69 Camaro taken in June of 1969. Really cool! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
