Having experienced a similar event with three-out-of-four wheels off the ground under full power, I can attest to the fact that the next two or...
That's not John. I believe that's the late Rich Siroonian, John's nephew.
That is precisely the avenue through which this particular dilution of the rules arrived. A few years later, the entire transmission section of...
In that era, the Glide would have been cast iron. Gary Glover or Mark Yacavone will be able to clarify this further. You may recall that tri-five...
Ah, yes!! The games we had to play before the advent of the water box burnouts!
Assuming that Terry Bell is correct (I have no basis nor interest in disputing his memory), the driver of the "Northwind" bubble-top 409 was Joe...
In 1963 Ronnie ran Abraham's Pontiac for the class title and that pairing was included in the televised ABC Sports coverage that aired on Wide...
Everything I can find on that car suggests that it was the Arlen Vanke & Bill Abraham car driven by someone other than either of them. One source...
That adds a new dimension to the phrase, "Rode hard and put up wet!"
That's why it's called "personal taste." I've been through the re-arched springs, longer shackles, lift bars, slapper bars, pseudo-Mopar...
That statement is 100% aligned with my preferences. "Hanging the tires out," extending the rear shackles, and pumping up the Hi-Jacker air shocks...
It's something of a shock to realize that picture was taken 50 years and a few weeks ago. Clearly, an ocean of water has gone under the bridge...
That's a true statement although the commercial value of that real estate would stretch the budget of most race teams. I have outlined the area...
It's a non-issue to anyone other than our local community but the original Clippinger Chevrolet was located in Covina during the time frame in...
Not to mention the fact that April 20 is the birthday of a notorious individual.
There was no "brand" to the best of my recollection. I bought them from a pop-up tire/wheel store on Valley Boulevard in La Puente. I think that...
Scott, I owned the car from 1964 until 1973. For a good part of that time it was a race car. I bought it from a used car lot in South Central...
This is is among my personal favorite Corvette picture because it captures what it was REALLY like. For every wheelstanding/tire smoking magazine...
Sounds good but "on the beach" has always been preferable to me. c
Correct. LaHabra's LARGEST ..." is the primary clue. This link contains more information that anyone really wants but Don Steve's Chevrolet was...
During the 1965 era, arbitrary factoring of combinations was relatively uncommon especially in the lower horsepower production cars. Some of the...
I've pondered that point as well. There's something special about the wheelbase and the position of the engine relative to the longitudinal...
The only thing provided was the actual labor force that conducted the inspection. You took your own tool box and gaskets. Met some really nice...
Sorry, I mocked it up and neglected to add the picture. Getting old is a bitch! [ATTACH] If it had been a "day" things would have gone a lot...
I've mocked up the fixture on a spare head to demonstrate it's most productive use. Most followers of this thread have either experienced or...
Terry, there are plenty of distractions in the world these days. I hit the HAMB as a refuge from the craziness of the times. Between HAMB and my...
Come on, Terry, where there are lots of people, there are lots of different opinions and different ways of getting things done. We're doing the...
So much for that idea! Thanks for checking. c
