Roy- the engine sounded like a chevy V-8. Is that what it has in it? I also sounded like it has a multi-gear transmission in it. Am I right on that?
Lee: I'm shocked and saddened by the news. Your dad was a good friend throughout my career. I can't believe it. My sincere condolences.
Man- That was neat! Thanks!
Speaking of Pepi Marchese- Does anyone know how he is? I heard he sustained head injuries in a racing accident and never fully recuperated. He was...
Wow! Good eye! That IS odd, as they generally have the front brakes the other way around to pull the car into the corner. Maybe Jackie Howerton...
That last shot looked like Willie Davis sitting on the tailgate of the station wagon and Tommy Nicholson standing, with the glasses on.
WOW! Great shots! Thanks for sharing them with us! How fast did they let you go?
Dammit! I didn't think of that! :p
Yeah- Now I don't even need a helmet- I can just paint my name on my head! :p
I feel like such an idiot! I thought they were exhaust stubs! Don't tell anyone, promise?
Great work! That must sound pretty weird with the 8 straight stacks and no collector!
Johnny Shipman was a great guy. He was still flagging when I was racing. His son was cool, too. To tell you the truth- I never met a flagman that...
Speaking of false starts- At a USAC sprint car race at Reading in the late 60's Nick Fornoro Sr. was the flag man. In one of the heats, on a...
My comment on the power steering units wasn't meant to mean that the first units were invented in the 70's, only that they became more common at...
You got it right. The larger diameter steering wheels made it easier for the driver to steer when the cars didn't have power steering, which is a...
The best part was that I still had hair then! Yo Billy- how're you feeling?
Nice job, Lee!!
Beautiful job Bob. I just bought this kit. Where did you get the decals? Hope mine comes out half as nice. Thanks! The decals came from a set...
Hi everyone! I posted these photos on the Vintage Sprint Car thread and someone suggested I post them here, too. It's the Revell 1/25 Kurtis Kraft...
Josh: That's some excellent craftsmanship! Are they your cars, or are you restoring them for someone?
Wow- That's a shame. NSSN is the nation's premier auto racing paper, in my opinion.
Hey guys: I just finished the Revell Kurtis Kraft Offy kit as the Ken Brenn Offy. Thanks for all the help with the photos to help me get the color...
I know a lot of other people already said it, but I want to thank Lee Greenawalt for sharing all the neat photos he took with us! Great...
Looking at the Nagy and Brenn cars reminds me of a race at Hatfield in the mid to late 60's, when I was a kid and went there with the family to...
Ron: The TQ in the photo was a Trevis car. I don't remember who I was driving for the night you did your low altitiude aerobatics!
Steve: If there are no decals existing for the Rasmussen sprinter there's a guy named Mark Tutton that will make any decals you want. His business...
Jim and Tommy: Thanks for posting those shots of Brenn's blue 24!
That's the one! Thanks!!!!:)
Thanks for the replies guys! I feel like such an idiot! After I posted the question I went downstairs and checked the decals, and they were the...
I thought I saw a color photo of the Ken Brenn robin's egg blue #82 or 83 offy midget posted recently, but I can't seem to find it now. Does...
