Title: Maple Grove Drag-O-Way: 1969 Camaro RS/SS Z11 Conv. Pre Race Parade 1969
Post by: SMKZ28 on January 28, 2022, 04:46:29 PM

Here is a photo showing a 1969 Camaro RS/SS Z11 convertible going down the dragstrip during the pre-race ceremonies with a woman on the back prior to a large NHRA sanctioned event at Maple Grove Drag-O-Way in Mohnton, Pennsylvania sometime during the racing season of 1969.  Notice that most of the people in the background are wearing pants, long sleeve shirts and jackets.  Either it was a cool day in the summer or possibly spring or fall.  Also notice the "USA-1" license plate on the front, the Uniroyal tires, the small Chevy bow-tie sticker above the rear wheel and the extremely poor fitting lower part of the door decal. 

I found the photo years ago on Ebay.

Maple Grove Drag-O-Way was one of five tracks that made up the North East Division (NED) of the NHRA in 1969.  The second photo is of the cover of the souvenir program handed out at these tracks during NHRA events held there in 1969.
