Tony Hill and that car are pretty famous locals . He's had that car for ever. I believe it's raced nhra from here to California back in the day(60's - 70's ? )  . I also remember hearing it's been to Bonneville . Tony and Linda ran it up in Ashcroft back in the 80's with different paint and wheels . A bunch of us young punks were there too , we thought we knew what we were doing but Tony would set us straight and help us out .  I'm not 100% sure but I think He still has it .

I do remember seeing a street race one night on Gaglardi Way (SFU). He won of course!
