Dave Laur's old race. It was one of the fastest in its day. I saw at the Miller meet at Norwalk many times. It ended up in the bean field once. Lots of nitrous went thru that car.

"weck" is short for kimmelweck, essentially a German word for Kaiser roll. A very western New York thing, and it is also actually the third "W" in the restaurant name "BW3", better known as Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck and now called simply Buffalo Wild Wings.

At Dave's shop!



Nothing says bad *** like a parachute strapped to your ride!



Dave was very gracious and is a great guy! He truly bleeds Oldsmobile! I know it was tough for he and Shannon to let her go!



Loaded for the 7hr trip home!



Stuffed into my little two bay garage! Hopefully my 71' isn't jealous!
