Not a bomb but the obvious result of wrong headed, we know what's best for you, politics. They were wrong and still are.
Thanks Hemidav, I've been to Rondeaus' ice cream stand, out in the sticks of Palmer area many times, High St. picture was great too.
Jim Cassidy's A/Street Roadster. A Model-T body and a Chrysler hemi under the hood. The engine is naturally aspirated in this photo, and a was eventually equipped with a supercharger, putting the car in the AA/SR class. Note the license plate in the back... 1958-59 Hello, A lightweight T roadster, a 671 powered Hemi motor, early slicks, short wheelbase, what could be the result of this race car? Sometimes it won and other times the power overcame the quickness and feathering the throttle was not in the cards, so check out :29 to :31 for the result… See :29 to :31 Jim Cassidy’s T Roadster was in the A/SR class. It was supposed to be a street legal roadster. But, it did push the limits of the rules for a street legal hot rod. Full roll bar, check, headlights, check, headers leading into mufflers with real exit pipes, check… in the early days, street legal tires with tread, check. There were even fenders of sorts to stay within the rules. Jnaki When we saw this modified street roadster, it was winning against some pretty good street roadsters. But, those in the stands associated with it due to looking like an old hot rod with a big motor going against all sorts of “street roadsters.” A full fender version as per factory stock it was not. But, within the rules, some modifications were allowed. A Friday night or Saturday night cruising hot rod street roadster would have been fun. I could see this modified roadster coming into the local Bixby Knolls drive-in restaurant parking lot with a smile on its face and absolutely no takers. It was intimidating just sitting in the pits at Lion’s Dragstrip a few miles away. But if it came through the driveway parking entrance. It would have caused quite a commotion. Obviously, it was not the daily driver to high school or to a job of sorts. Just your average race car disguised as a legal street roadster. Well, much like the Gas Coupes/Sedans that had their own version of modifications that were supposed to be a daily driver and then a weekend warrior to boot. Ha, a short lived theory in any class to get to the top rankings. A little tweak here and there, allows more parts to be added or modified to still stay a legal drag racing rules "street roadster."
