Jerry Smith pedals his "First Love" ‘69 Nova across the slippery New England Dragway starting line at Sunday's NETO race. Jerry was #1 qualifier yesterday in the AA class. Sporting an original shell and a Logghe chassis, the car was a welcome sight. Nostalgia Funny Car racing is gaining some momentum folks and I love it. Personally, I would drive past an NHRA national event to go see a handful of these nostalgia cars run somewhere else.
