A Friend of mine found this old drag car Corvette door, it is a 58-61 door. It has the numbers 99 on it in vinyl and the name Bruce Chasmer & Dan Palkoski hand painted at the top. He found the door in Florida, anyone have any old pictures or info on the car?
Those two names are certainly not common names. I did a bit of simple internet searching; Zabasearch shows one Bruce Chasmer- in Ca. born in 1943. Cl***mates.com shows Bruce Chasmer as a 1960 graduate of Ridgefield Park High School in Ridgefield park, NJ That would make him 17-18 as a HS senior if its the same guy. Zabasearch shows a Daniel Palkoski residing in N.J. Possibly these two were schoolmates and raced together? Contact them and see if they're your guys. Chances are they'll have some answers on the door. I'd love to know what became of the rest of the Vette and if these two raced for long or are still into cars. Perhaps they've lost contact after 40+ years and you can put them back in touch. Let us know if this pans out.
