Uncle Dino,
I’ll see if I can post the photo of the 1958 ‘red’ Chevrolet Biscayne.
* Classed in ‘A/S’…1958 thru 1960……….Car was running 14.70’s @ 97 MPH
* Classed in ‘B/S’…1961 thru 1962……….Car was running 13.90’s @ 101 MPH
In early-1962, the Muldowney’s sold the 58′ Biscayne and bought a 62’ Corvette {327/300 HP} that they ran in C/SP…
Car was running 13.30’s @ 106 MPH
This ‘street-driven’ Corvette was raced at Dover Drag Strip in 1962 and 1963.
Later in 1963, a hood scoop (Morose-type) was put on the 62′ Corvette.
Other sitings at;
Fonda Speedway……………………….1963
South Glens Falls………………………1963
Milton Speedway (Milton, Vermont)…..1963
Lebanon Valley…………………………1963
Tri-Cities (Endicott)……………………1963
Utica-Rome…………………………….1963
Sometime in late-1963, while racing at Fonda Speedway on a Wednesday Night (after they expanded the track to 1/4 Mile},
Shirley lost control of the Corvette while going though the ‘traps’ and she hit a ‘pole’ along the side of the shut-down area.
The Corvette was ‘split-in-two’ and the fiberglass body was shattered into pieces.
