Zippy, did you ever run the Street or Comp eliminator shows at Byron or Cordova IL.?[/quote]
Absolutely i did, i ran Rockford lots of times. My car was a 56 t'bird with a blown 365 cu in s/blk chevy called bird of paradise. I ran it from 1965/1968 at Rockford, Union Grove and Oswego it ran A/Modified sports and B/gas. I was friends of Palmer Laserus and his 1941 willys. I used to get my tires from the Gusler Top fuel team after they had put a few passes on them. I remeber most of the old time racers, including beswick when he was running the Pontiac, the 34 ford coupe called little screamer, etc. In those days the top fuel and alterds use to push start down from the top end to the start line. My car wasn't fast by todays standards, but it ran 10.30's at 140mph, which was fast in those days
