    That rear-engined thing is great looking. As I recall, it wasn't competitive, but what's its whole story?

    This is what I have gleaned without reading the facts. I do see many panels are not the same as original b&w pic I posted but there was likely mods along the way but typical of these racers a high level of craftsmanship is evident.

    50 we seen this over and over throughout our working lives. Timing, circumstance, decisions...not all good ones. At least it survived. What a beauty. Wouldn't that be a hoot to blast around the track?

    I've been doing a couple of things to the Hotrod over the last little while and this view has been quite common over that period.

    I just recently completed a 250 mile one way adventure with the Ole Hotrod and well it was a fun time. It ran fantastic...This place in the pic (Gibbs Gas Station, Circa 1935) I have driven by so many times and always marveled at two old cars that sat in a clump of bushes to the side. I always said that the owners of those cars didn't pay for the work done and well they sat and sat... I did snap a pic of them last year and low and behold they were taken away shortly after. The old building is sagging a little with age and may soon disappear but for now it makes a great backdrop for a picture...Anyhow the louvers look great what can I say.
