On a Visit to the Lane Auto Museum in Nashville, I was surprised to see a Poster from my Local Road course in Michigan from the start of the 1981 Season. If you look at the Poster just under the "R" is a 4 head light Monza HB going into a burm. Dick any Idea who was Driving the #77 Monza?

Jeff, I spent many weekends at Waterford as a spectator over the years but I don't recall ever seeing the Monza when I was there.

Can't beat an 80s Spring Break, especially if you're heading down to Lauderdale...

Is that a "Stomper" toy from the 80's? They were 4 wheel drive battery powered toys. Me and my uncles used to make tracks for them in the backyard of my grandma's house.

I'll bet that really is a stomper. I remember those well. My guess is that with the sticky tires it had, it's probably actually climbing the hood of that car even at that steep angle.

LOVE the Firenza by the way!!

I agree. 4 wheel drive with the foam tires..i bet they were seeing how far they could angle the hood and it would still climb.
