Dino ,Yes it is bad news about Bill Casey correct me if I wrong but didn’t he run the Super Pumpkin (57 chevy & a 69 camaro) didn’t his helmet have a picture of a fierce looking pumpkin on the back of it? I’m still going through my slides looking for the old pictures of Dover back in the mid 60’s -70’s..I use to run a 1970 Nova in SS/E (NHRA # 1359)…Keep up the good work(and never let the dream of Dover die)….Vince (I live in CA for now working LAPD 29 yrs so far will retire in about 14 mons)
