oji: Not that I know; he and his friends would normally head down to Atco for quarter-mile strip racing. He had a friend with a V-8 Vega coupe. This car featured a 427 c.i. fully blown engine with a wheely bar out the back and rear tires so wide that there was only about four inches between...

Amazing! Trailhead: You've got one heck of a car there and, frankly, I can't believe you lost in the finals! Back in the 70s and 80s, my brother used to run a V-8 Vega panel truck with a 350 c.i. and a 4-speed manual, but he could never touch the times you're posting. After much tweaking, he...

oji: To answer your questions in order, here are my responses: 1. The developers platted the land and filed the resultant plans with Ocean County. Years ago, I sent TeeGate digital photos of the filed plans and he may still have those files. If so, perhaps he can supply a link to them in...
