Dino, seems I remember a post somewhere about the Cam Busters Car Club. In that post was a mention of the Tasmanian Monster. So, if I’m correct, I have part of the answer. I’m pretty sure that it’s a Connecticut car. HEY KAUER, a little help here please!! ………………..Mikey 😮 😯 😆

Seems to me that a guy named Libatore (spelling) from Stamfords New Field Avenue area had a car named Tazmanian Monster, but I remember it as being a 55 Nomad and in a /MP class…….I think. Was a long time ago!! Maybe ’65??? Possible 2nd generation car??

I remember that car because it left a big impression on me also……………….And Casey wheelwells to boot… 😆 ..I’m sure it was a Ct. car from the Stamford area…Maybe Anthony or Gene remembers ………..How about it guys?

Dover , Thought I had his name, know I have it some-where , The owner of the Taz-monster was good friends with Dickie Doyle , ( Blown Hearse ), 3 guys from Terryville , CT. used to race at Dover all the time. My brain froze I cannot think of the other car that was associated with the above mentioned. I have my notes some-where. Brian T. ( Dragmasters , Westport,CT.)

Dover , The 3rd car that was owned and raced by the three guys from Terryville, CT was the Albatross. I forget what kind of car it was but am looking to find out. someone should remember.

Hey, at least I was sure it was a Ct. car. 😀 …………….Mikey 😆

[bobby-s]

why not look through all the stuff you and Brian got from everyone
and read the Drag News/Times papers, 😮
should be listed in the winners section for Dover in them. 🙄 just hope the owner did not hope around between classes if there was an OCT (only car trophy) class that day. 😳
Never know what will be found in those publications. 😛
remember sunday at Big Al’s.

I’ve looked …problem is this car ran like 62-63…Not too many papers then , ones we have have are 64 & up I can’t find any with a C/GS listing .

TA-DA…. Brian Found Him…Dave Hill from Kingston area…actually Esopus,south of Port Ewen…Got his Number and calling him up!

[dover1320]

I Just saw this post ,I met Dave Hill at Rhinebeck . He said he ran at Dover ,then said you probably dont have a picture of my car . Then i said what did you run? he went on to decribe TAZ , I SAID I know the car and we have pics of it and i showed him and he was impressed and thought it was great at all this history was being saved. We talked he didnt have any pics so i made him up what i had and turns out he live 5 miles from me. Brian
