This Artesian Turquoise 66 Nova has a 434 and runs 11.00's. It's also a bench seat car with a column shifter so that's kind of cool as well. This car belongs to Larry Perry and I saw it a number of times at Joliet in the early '00's. He had it at the Chevy Vette Fest as well.

This is one of the nicest 66 Nova drag cars I've ever seen. It's powered by a 572 and ran mid 8's. They said it usually runs low 8's, but they were having problems getting it to hook off the line.

Here's another mid 8 second 66 Nova. I don't know who owns it or what it has for motivation. If any of you guys are familiar with any of the cars I post pictures of feel free to add what you know.

This 68 Nova SS has a small block and runs 12.20's. This car has been around since at least the late 90's. I've seen it at Joliet a number of times.

Here's another 68 Nova. It also has a small block and was running 10.00's. I have a picture of this car from Osceola Dragway back in '97 and have seen it at Joliet numerous times as well.

This 66 Chevelle SS was running 8.90's. I don't know what it had for motivation.

This is Mike Thompson's 68 Chevelle SS. It had a 540 with some nitrous and was running 9.10's. Some of you may remember this car from the early days of Fastest Street Car racing as well. There was a color centerspread of it in Hot Rod doing an on the bumper wheel stand. He used to run with the Chicago Outlaw Super Stocks back in the 90's as well.

The Chicago Outlaw Super Stocks used to run at all the Midwest Super Chevy Show events back in the 90's and 00's. They were all powered by big blocks with a bunch of nitrous and ran in the high 7's while doing big wheel stands. There are still a few of these cars around and about eight or so showed up at Joliet for a little reunion. I don't remember seeing this 69 Chevelle SS run with them back in the day, but he ran with them at this event. He was running 7.80's.
