How many suffered a similar fate?

Cool, but painful picture.

My car (10 10 X77 car) almost did. It was a week away from heading to the dirt track when my brother bought it in 1975.

I remember watching my friend Mike ice racing a 67 or 68 Camaro back in the 80s in Ashby, MA. The last race I saw him win, he was in reverse! He came around #4, spun around and just jammed it in reverse and kept going. It was like he did it on purpose. One of the funniest things I think I saw racing.

They were just cars. How many '69 Zs were built? 22,000? Most of them wound up like this, or totaled on the street, at the bottom of lakes, stolen/stripped, crushed in wrecking yards. My high school buddy's uncle owned a big wrecking yard that was better than Disneyland. Spent many Saturdays there 1977-80 goofing-off in that vast yard and there were some real gems, drivers, stored there. Some were sold but many were parted-out and crushed.

Parted out a L78 69 Nova * and a 68 SS/RS 396 Camaro - special paint BITD! Gave $150 for the Nava and flipped it for exactly that to a buddy. $35 for the Camaro [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
I remember my 1st dirt track race. I was 9. It was 1970. There were a few figure 8 races and all the sudden this shiny new Mustang is trading paint and blazing around the track Gasps came from the crowd. they stopped the race. I asked dad what happened? Someone heard me and turned around and said a drunk got out on the track with his car and they stopped the race to remove him.
* sure it was. It had a single fuel line, but we were too dumb to know back then?!
