I agree, I really like the 20x15 Mickys....Low and wide

I was never there, but I had posters of several of those cars hanging in my room as a kid... it's funny to see them now and remember how cool I thought they were at the time. :hail:

:lol:

I took my 69 Z/28 to the Nats in Indy in 1978.it was a great time...except for the thousand miles each way with 3.73's and no OD! We had our son with us who was 4 at the time,stayed in a campground not far from the fairgrounds.Because we had the little guy with us we didn't participate in or witness any of the after hours shenanigans but there were some very cool cars in the same campground we were in. We met some nice folks from Waterloo,Iowa as I recall that had a Pro Street Pinto they towed in.
We got to take 2 laps around the Speedway-yes,THAT Speedway in Indiana! I have some pictures but after all these years and about 4 moves since then I couldn't begin to find them.Sorry,I know you're looking for pics.
I still have the Z/28 and it still has the window stickers and dash plaque on it,I'm real proud of those. As an aside,I built a fresh motor for the car for that trip and it's still in the car,too. It's pretty whipped these days,those rear gears are fun but they take a toll over time.
Thanks for asking about this,it brought back some cool memories-

I was at the SMN in Springfield during the 2004-2006 seasons with the Oklahoma Outlaw Racing Association..Of course the guys in our club won the dyno challenge every year.. For some reason the guys from MO just couldn't produce any HP at the rear wheels... I do have some pics... I will try and post some.

I wouldn't go to quite that extreme, there were several local STREET cars in the 800-900 range.....but they couldn't hang with your "street" cars for sure. The REAL local cars were at the track on those weekends. And the black Camaro that you guys had was freaking awesome without a doubt!! The black 67 or 68 Camaro that someone from there has now is amazing, isn't it a super low miles car? I saw it at the track last summer.

the black 68 camaro belonged to a guy we called fatcat.. I believe he has sold the car but not sure where it went...a lot of the faster cars are running the mako 10.5 class right now.. guy has a mustang with a bb chevy in it for his powerplant and it's probably the fastest thing around.. running high 7's. that car is just amazing..I know all of us okies are hoping the SMN come back to Springfield.. None of us have been to littlerock and probably won't. we had a ton of fun in the show me state...
