welcome back...good photos

 

Again not in motion but interesting, can not remember where we took these shots, any one recognize the track? Somewhere in division 1, Cayuga maybe, Henry.

 

The '27 Street Roadster (Ai Fiberglass components) was owned by Neil Mahr from Pottstown, PA. Later raced a Top Fuel car called Super Press.

 

I like Dave Koffel GMC carhauler..

 

Perfect VW! wow that would be fun to take around the block

 

That Cab-over looks pretty cool!!! Any shots showing a little more of it??? yeah, yeah it ain't a tow vehicle thread but help a brother out!!!

 

am I mistaken, or it the grill on that hauler a Ford?

 

Ya know...I was lookin' at that thing and thinkin' it looks an aweful lot like a Suburban body!!!! But the windshield and grille are blue oval!!!

 

Definately a halfbreed...love it, looks natural!
