Hay My friend, How are you doing ? I remember it well, even have a picture of my 69 Camaro "Bankruptcy" with you pressing the buttons.
The 'Harris' in the 'Place,Harris,Outwater' car is Jim Harris of Homer N.Y. The Gault Chevrolet sponsored 'Magic Bus' wagon of Bill Russell, Endicott, N. Y.---York U.S. in the background! Hi Tom!---Paul
According to the NED annual, Steve Seaman drove in both 1970+71;and Vinny Mayer was listed as driver in 1972.
WOW, Dover Drag Strip, Wingdale N.Y. thank you for the memories, raced there from '66 until '70-'71 or so it was fun.
Received my "Grumpys Toys" book in the mail today.Alot of fine jr stocker reading and pics in the 175 pages by Doug Boyce and authorized by the Grump.Covers all his cars from 61-83.i got mine off of amazon.com.
our F/S of'64 stocker had a reground cam match stock three measuring pts but sure had different lobe shape
Hope you like the book Lyn. With the Bill's involvement, it was a pleasure to do. The book does take a look at a couple of the stockers prepared by Bill, namely the Monster Mash cars and George Cureton's Tokyo Rose. Bill, Spider and George each contributed to these write ups. I am working on something regarding the stockers at this time and to say that the co-operation to date has been overwhelming would be an understatement. Thanks, Doug
feel that way too traded 66 442 W-30 for 350 cu in auto wagon never knew how few were made till much later.. .
I hope this is not too far off the topic.... I am trying to replicate a 57 delivery for Jr. Stock and was wondering which would have been more popular, an old Sun tach or a Stahl mechanical tach for the era?
Either tach would be correct. Our In-Bomber '57 ran a Sun tach and/or Stewart Warner (yup, two tachs on occasion to collect contingency money from both brands!) and I know that the Good In-Tension '57 ran a Stahl tach. We're talking 1966-1969 era here. -Dean
The thought just occurred, with all the 4-4-2 content on this page... There'll be a 3-way fight a-brewin' for page 455... ...that we somehow avoided on page 427... Scanners ready?!
In '63 we prepared a few heads for our F/S 283/283 The best of these had 15 , 30 , 45 , 60 , 75 cuts . and passed 5 NHRA tear downs. The exhausts were cut with 3 angle carbide then stone dressed The intakes were cut with 30 seats (had greater opening area at lower lifts) then dressed with the 5 cuts with stones these were only on these heads. Yes it was "grind,true grind etc" but the results were definitely worth the effort
This lil tidbit just arrived in the latest SEMA News: http://www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011...per-stock-and-stock-class-eliminations-nation The makings of a "rebirth"?
No rebirth, just more bull c..p Go read what racers think about it on classracer. They need to fix the hp factors before they run anything. Lots of displeased S & SS racers going into 2011.
