    Could be Irwindale then. What year did Irwindale go to 1/8th mile? That is a 1/4 mile slip obviously.

    California, Arizona and Nevada. This has to be about 1975-85. He just found these above the visor of the car last week. They have been there since they handed them to him. He just grab them and showed them to me like it was no big deal. Hand written with no reaction or 60' or anything.

    The REAL Irwindale 1/4 mile track ran from 1965 to 1977.
    The New Irwindale 1/8 mile track opened I think in 2000
     

  9. Well then, that lets Indianapolis Raceway Park out of the hunt.

    God honest truth! Hasnt much clean out the interior or washed the exterior in that time either. It is not a daily driver or anything anymore and he is not the neatest person you will ever meet. Great trans builder and machinist though.
