    No
    Bob Beaver is John's uncle. Bob is seen here in 1962 at Lions, though....

    as far as the Chrismans go, I believe Jack was Art's uncle...

    This is the "Night Stalker" that was Force's first funny and was purchased from Jack Chrisman. It had a rear, sidewinder chain-driven SOHC Ford and later a Chrysler....never was competitive. Chrisman never campaigned the car.

    "Fever" Charger was a AHRA ultra stocker. Note fiberglass front end and straight tube axle. Car also featured atypical gutted interior. Too bad they were an east coast phenomenon

    Here are the only shots out there I've seen. It sure was beautiful, but for that pesky history for Force! Any action shots of Stan Shiroma's Skulker 'Cuda FC out there? Another one that's hard to find.

    Ross, all I know is what Don Gillespie dug up when he used that photo of the sidewinder from Lions in '62...When he researched the car, he found out that the man leaning into the photo was Beaver, etc., etc. and used that info in the LIONS documentaries...(Part 1) I'll have to look at the DVD again, maybe it is Gene, or Bob is a relative...(?)...

    Actually, I remember now Doug, the LA Hooker was owned by the Beaver Bros & Condit, so Gene (thanks for the spelling lesson, LOL) and Bob were probably brothers, JF called Gene uncle Beav.

    No WCD, I was more talking about the people than the car, I'm sure not qualified to discuss car lineage :).
    Don Prieto says the guy in the side winder pic at Lions is Gene Beaver, not Bob.

    THANKS for the shots!

    Picture # 1 and # 14 are Bill Lindner's "CC Rider."

    The first shot dates from 68 or early 69, and the second one is of the arrival at Indy in 67. Car still has the Americans in the rear.

    Linder changed these to Hallies after winning the Nats in 67.

    He won them in 68 and 69, and the Spring Nats in the same years.

    I own the car now, and am almost finished restoring it to 69 status.

    Bill Lindner is re-creating his engine, including the 2 port Hilborn and Ohio George's supercharger!

    THANKS again for posting!

    BEST regards, Dave Lamb

    Anyone else notice that Kelly Chadwick's Camaro was running a quick change? (Pic 14221) I don't recall seeing many of them on flip top funnies.
    Also don't see many of Chic DeNino's cars. I met him finally, year before last at PRI; nice gentleman.

    What is the grill in this photo? Is it from another car, or is it stock sheet material?
