Does anyone have pics when the moderns were invited to Hightstown? They race on two different dates in 1975. My father came in second in both races in his #78 nova.

Cool to hear Bill. My Father said that warm ups were like like driving in soup. I know he barrowed George Cooks tire groover and it didn't want to cut them hard street tires at all.
