: Well after a few weeks of having this sticker restored, its finally on jollygreenSS May 10th, 10, 10:49 AM Its an original sticker, we had one that was all there, but age and removing it had distorted it alot. We had a awesome sticker company work for 2 weeks on it, and it looks brand new. cfChevelle May 10th, 10, 10:51 AM You restored a sticker? Or was a new one (a copy) created? jollygreenSS May 10th, 10, 10:55 AM You restored a sticker? Or was a new one (a copy) created? No it was a copy, but it was really time consuming because it had been on there for god knows how long. Most of the green was gone, part of the yellow, and they had to redo the bottom right side, because it was missing. cfChevelle May 10th, 10, 10:57 AM Gotcha. I see. The two weeks wait was worth it! Nice... mmurphy77 May 10th, 10, 3:12 PM Cool. What's the story concerning the sticker? Is it like a "class winner" decal from back in the day/local track? jollygreenSS May 10th, 10, 3:49 PM Cool. What's the story concerning the sticker? Is it like a "class winner" decal from back in the day/local track? Green Valley was one of the best know tracks of its time. It closed in 86 I was less then a year old when I went for the one and only time :( Here is some cool info on it. Jungle Jim raced there, and so did a slew of other well know racers. The sticker itself was on a 67 camaro rs ss that my dad has, and is finishing up. http://www.dearbornflashback.com/greenvalley.asp http://hechointexas.blogspot.com/2008/01/green-valley-raceway.html http://jaybirdseye.smugmug.com/Cars/Vintage-Dragsters-of-the-60s/5060683_LQYAa#304441101_8c6Jm mmurphy77 May 10th, 10, 7:23 PM Cool story Trey, thanks for the links! rick May 10th, 10, 10:38 PM I have a CD set of music from the 60's & 70's. It has a 45 second radio commercial from Green Valley. Neat bit of history. jollygreenSS May 11th, 10, 6:54 AM I have a CD set of music from the 60's & 70's.

When Motorplex was built, that is when Greenvalley came to the end of its road. It was a modern track and seated alot more people. I really hated to see it go. We have roofed a ladies house that lives right across the street from it. I have watched it decline for the last 15 years... Its completely gone now. You used to could see bits and pieces of the old track. Ronin8451 May 13th, 10, 2:59 PM Ol' Bill would roll over in his grave with pride seeing how nice that looks ! I found a pit pass for the Nationals at Green Valley inside the defroster ducting in my '70SS Elky ! I really wish I had gotten Bill to sign it before he passed away, he had a lot of good stories to share.:hurray: | ||
