JERRY MANHART BECKY LANDIS DEBBIE JONES .v 'Z A T Tinker Tom by Tanya Ellis by Tanya Ellis Some of the students may see those lights at Lawrence Raceway next summer when Lawrence has their annual High School Drag Races. Many of the fastest cars are seen around this county. Same may have seen a primered '67 GT Mus- tang cruising on Main Street. lT's one of the fastest cars in Town. Sen- ior Thomas Wolfley is the proud owner, When he first purchased his car three years ago, he paid S600 for a rusted out, unrestored car. Wolfiey PICS' put S4200 into engine parts and S800 in the body work, lt's now worth 54500. This car spent two years in a garage getting Tak- en apart, pounded on, cussed at, and tinkered with, but it was worth it. Woifley has been in over 25 races and has never been beaten. Even Though his ear was fast last year, he plans to putionsduel four-barrel ice- buretorswith a nitrous oxide injecf tion system. This will add 300 more horse power To his 428 Cobra Jet engine. He plans to paint his car metallic black with sterling silver GT stripes. One of 'Thomas' best friends could beg .eiy C onsidered an enemy when it comes to racing. Senior Ro- land Kosekqowns a '56 Chevy Rat. which means the car has a big block engine. Kosek paid S250 for it when he was 'l2 years old and has been working on it for six years. He did all the body work and engine rebuilding himsif. Kosek has put S2000 worth of parts and labor into the engine. lt's now worth S4300 in the Old Car Price Gulde. Kosek has high hopes to see Those lights at Lawrence Raceway next summer too. He has been in over 30 races and has never been beaten. Kosek and Wolfley have never raced each other, but when they do, may The best car win. Colors .
