Grand Bend Dragstrip 1965
Many many thanks to Peter Wouters from Williams, AZ who contributed these pictures and articles. Peter was one of he first to race at Grand Bend Dragway back in 1965 with George Gray from London in a A/G Supercharged 1940 Willys Coupe named "Ramblin Woes."
Peter and George set a new Canadian record in '65 when they took the street eliminator class with a 10.46 ET at 135.12 MPH
