Looking for info on old race cars!

Hi guys! This is my first post!
I'm looking for pics or info on the following obscure race cars from the 60's.
First is "The Green Weenie", a 67 Vette roadster raced in the NW, paricularly at Woodburn, late 60's, I think in MP.
Second, "Little White Lie" in SoCal 68-70, an 50 or so Chevy, in Gas? MP?
If anybody remembers either of these cars, or has pics of Woodburn in the 60's please let me know.
Thanks.

Re: Looking for info on old race cars!

Welcome, Gary. Are you still living in the NW area? Will you make it out to Woodburn for the Oldies But Goodies drags in June? I bet if you still need info then, some of the hot rodders will help there too.
I will be flying out for my vacation, to see family and go to Woodburn.

No I live in LA, have for years. Last time I was at Woodburn was 70-71 or so. There were so many great NW cars, I see very few online. I'm trying to gather pics and history before it's forgotten. My cousin was longtime NW racer Marv Buchanon, who of course, knew everybody who ever raced!
Partly I was inspired by Marv's passing, we lose more and more every year.
I hope to document some of that history before it's lost!

Nice article about the Northwind dragster here:

Cacklefest - Northwind AA/FD

And there isn't more pictures of the good 'ol days than here:

Thanks! I have both sites allready! I'm looking for stuff on the more obscure cars though, the lower classes paricularly. Even some of the fuel cars have faded away. Anyone remember the Super Ford Econoline pickup?
