Wanted: Photographs from God's Thunder Valley Raceway In Sul

[super]

Wanted:

Trying to locate photographs from God's Thunder Valley Raceway. The track was only open for a short period of time in the early 1970's.

Specifically trying to locate pictures of some cars my father raced there. Probably around 1972 or 1973, he ran a 1957 Nomad with a small block and backed by a 4-speed. The car was an original GM color (almost pink in color) and had a large hand-made black sheetmetal scoop. The Nomad had stock steel wheels on the front and aluminum slotted wheels on the rear. For a short period, the car was powered by a 1970 454 LS-6.

Also wanting to locate pictures of several Pontiacs my father raced too. He raced for a gentlemen by the name of Selden Ruwwe. Selden owned three red 1962 Catalinas (2 hardtops and one sedan - called cars "Tin Indian" "Tin Indian II" and "Discontinued") and one candyapple red 1963 Tempest (car had a large pro stock style scoop with magnesium front wheels and steel wheels on the rear - later the car was called "Pontiac Strikes Again" and had lightweight cragar wheels all around.)

The Pontiacs were raced at St. Genevieve, MO, I-55 Raceway in Pevely, MO, MAR in Wentzville, MO and I-57 Raceway in Benton, IL. The Tin Indian and the Tempest were ran at Sullivan's trac kfor a short period of time.

Any help locating pictures of these cars would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Jim for giving me the information for this website. I enjoy it.

Hopefully someone out there will have information on the Sullivan Track. Details are even sketchy with the local citizens of Sullivan.

Would also like to find some pictures from when my father raced at I-55 Dragway in Pevely, MO.
