I attended these races at the Mid-America Motorplex, Aug. 24-25, 2013. Was a fantastic Super Stocker show including a hard running Rambler.
I talked to the owner a bit and he saw my 66 convertible, he lives in St. Louis. What's his name? He is familiar with this site. Ollie

I will have to ask.. He is here at Cordova, I saw the car today for sure. I normally run at PJ but we host a golf tournament that always ends up coinciding with the weekend of the Geezer nats.

Cool! When I talked to him, he introduced himself as Bob. The red gasser, the car next to the Rambler, has the name Bob Mitchell. Makes since he would be at Cordova, because he told me he lived in St Louis.
I have been to the Geezers 2 years in a row now. Different Mopars both years and this year some Pontiacs. Had a blast.
The Rambler launches good. Ollie

Think his name is Mark. :) Ok, his name is Mark and he has been touring the Midwest the past few weeks. He's a member of the Nostalgia Gassers group. (Nostalgiagassers.com) He's at our Gateway AMC meeting tonight. I should be there but got home from NAMDRA a little later than expected. Here's a recent photo of his car. He should be back on the forum tonight.

It was good talking to you up at Pacific Junction. I was up at Cordova this past weekend, it was not good I put a rod through the oil pan. That's racing.
Your 66 looks good
