            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??

                            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.

                                            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. 😛

                                                        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
