I was taking a trip down memory lane the other day......at the ripe old age of 15 I drove in my first D Derby....it was 1986. I drove a 56 Chrysler New Yorker powered by a 472" Cadillac...it had a 68 Polara rear end with a Lincoln locker and 5:13 gears....That was the start of a 15 year run of doing it 5-11 times a year.....When we quit we had 27 cars still waiting to be converted....everything from 67-69 Polara/Monacos to 71-73 Kingswood/Safari Wagons.....we kept a 1957 Lincoln 2dr Hartop JUST IN CASE we ever ran again.....
Here's some shots of the last car we ever ran....my daughters 73 New Yorker...
Notice the nice curve to the dash....she took some hard licks.....
Oh how those headers sing on 383" on MOPAR.....
BUSINESS END of DETROIT.....LOL
Who remembers back to these days?????
Her posing with some iron in her junior dragster fire suit...she was driving both at the time.....
My boy ...brother and daughter doing some prep work.....
