Re: [StockSSDragRacing] OT - "Loose Caboose" Video

 

The hardest part would be duplicating the original McCandless interior and A-arm front suspension. There's plenty of photos to make the decals. This was car #2 from Herb's shop.

Thanks Wayne. Johnny is one of my heroes in drag racing. I have been wanting to build a model of that car for years. The hard part is making the decals. Thanks for the video.

Here's a video clip from the early eighties of Georgia's Johnny Labbous making a time run in his Super Gas Omni 024 at my home track, Brainerd Optimist Drag Strip. This was before trans. brakes were used and the tree still had 5 ambers. Herb McCandless built this car for Johnny and Johnny built his own engines. Labbous won several Div.2 championships in Super Gas. He was runner-up at the Gators in 1983 and won the Summer Nationals in 1985.
 
Wayne.
