Yes, But I just got back from a few days on LI. Short answer Bob old owner of Century Speed was alive as of last year and living down the road from Lebanon Valley Dragway in NY. I will get back to you with what I can. Do you recall the MG in my avatar it raced during the same period, same tracks. Pat
Rosa have you checked for reginal racers reunions or even contacted the track owners .cars that have won will usualy be remembered by promoters .ps I love the car .craig

Rosa did you try contacting SK Speed? They are a speed shop on LI and had tons to do with drag racing back then.
Were are you hiding all these cars. I live over by Briawood Plaza in So. Seekonk. I'm sure I've seen some of them in p***ing but don't recall. Must be dementia.
