High-Five for StNick from his grandson! Not bad for the first time on the drag strip in 30+ years!



At rest...

You guys are the real deal! Stnick it was a pleasure to meet you.

Mike! Great job gettin that 57 together at the last minute. It was really cool seein your Dad bang gears in it when a week prior it didn't even run. Well, it ran but you know what I mean haha. Thought these pics were better but ah well here they are! Later, Kev

 

I love this one!! It's been nearly 40 years since he has driven a car on a drag strip, this was perfect!! What a great time, great to see you Kevin and thanks for the pictures. I found a set of slicks, I need to get a set of rims and we'll have to go to the track one day for fun!

Great job enjoy the shit out of it

 

It took all day for us to recover. we stopped at NoSurfs (Abilene, KS) for brats and chips around 8 last night. we got home at 4:20 this morning, Dad when straight to his buddies house and fire the car up on the trailer with open headers at 5:30!! HA HA !!!!

After a few hours of sleep he got insurance, title work and REAL Tags!

So we washed the car off tonight (NoSurf lives on a dirt road).







Then Aunt Patty got her first ride in the car!
