    • You are absolutely correct about the Paris dragster (see my post directly above your's)... I was fortunate enough to see that car go down the track numerous times at both Cordova and Byron.

  • My goodness.... what memories with me hanging out a Great Lakes Dragway (Union Grove Wisc) back when the pits were completely open and a Beehive of activity. Not like it isn't now but it was just different. *NM*

    • I believe it's an Opal Kadet. *NM*
      • I was thinking Opal, but just wasn't sure. Thanks. *NM*
        • 1965-1971 Opel Kadett B , I think. The top is chopped so it's a little difficult to be certain. *NM*
          • I was wondering about that top as well, so I guess I'm not loosing it as much as I thought. Good to know! *NM*
            • There were a few of them, in fact Dave caught an A/G Kadet with out a top Chop as well, It's the 5th picture, the blue and white one on the trailer. *NM*
