Windsor Dragway: 1968 Camaro Official Track Car in 1968 Webster's Chevy

[SMKZ28]

A blue 1968 Camaro was used as the Official Track Car of the Windsor Dragway in Windsor, Ontario, Canada during their inaugural season of 1968.  The car was supplied by "Webster's Chevrolet Windsor's Chevrolet Oldsmobile Cadillac Headquarters."  Notice the white stripe, rear spoiler and aftermarket wheels.  The car originally fooled me into thinking it was an SS but I noticed the lack of SS emblems under the "Camaro" script behind the front wheels and the lack of SS hood.  The image that appears on the door was the symbol for Windsor Dragway.  This particular track did not last long, opening in August 1968 and closing for good by the end of the 1971 season.

Ad for opening weekend of Windsor Dragway.  Notice the slogan, "Best in the Midwest."  This appeared on the bottom portion of the door of the Official Track Car in white lettering.

Cool looking car, and interesting that it is a non SS.

Front Spoiler?

Front Spoiler?

Good catch, I had not noticed that.  It does have the rear spoiler so perhaps they also put one on the front.

It is interesting to See the "Shorter non rod-strut" 1967 counter or 1968 D80 Version in historical photos.
