Looking to post this one in The Vault and not sure if it's late 70's or early 80's.
If you're sure, let me know and that way I can post it to the correct section in the main site once! Thanks in advance. |

1980 for sure. The Scamardella/ Lindy era was the best year of big block racing at East Windsor ever. JMO |

I always thought this pic of Ronnie and me was at Bport?? Between 1and 2 with a dirt berm outside..Plus the light poles just behind the fence...He had some strong motors back then.. Killer in the heats with tacky track.. We beat him a few times when it slicked off in the features.. Man could he spin those tires...Justy reel him in...Fun times.. |

Howie, was that the offset car that Chris built. I remember going to his shop with Bud Snyder while that car was under construction. Very revolutionary for that period in time. |

Yes thats the car..My left foot just fit between the frame and transmission...I think it was over about 4"..which made a total 8" differance tire to tire...It was so hooked at Windsor it was hard to get it to turn...Bport much better..Chris was a great guy and easy going.. He worked many hours with the Rio clan..We had alot of fun back then...HtH |
