Here is another picture that Mark sent me. Ed Hoffman was a local police officer. Bill worked on the car and Ed drove it.[ATTACH]
Mark Kashisian, Bill's son sent me these pics of a few of the cars that Bill sponsored or drove during the early through mid 60s. Some great...
Mark, the car on the trailer was called Halfbreed-below is a poor picture when it was red back in the day. Teixeira's Vette is still around and...
Sounds good Mark
Here is one of my favorite 427s that I witnessed in the 60s. Great car that won Indy twice.[ATTACH]
Here is one-off center a bit but hope it works.[ATTACH]
Bruce here is a pic of my red 62 with a 427.[ATTACH]
Snow Job was Ron Rudnick's 59 Vette out of Gasport New York. Not sure if he had more than one Snow Job but eventually he ran a 59 Vette with the...
A sad update to the 61 I referred to above. I sold the car a few years ago to a guy that really wanted it (had contacted me before I decided to...
I have used passenger car axles with no problems with the fit although I now have Moser hobby axles in mine and they hold up pretty good to the...
Bruce, I believe the car is the restored version of what the owner claims is the ex_Gianino 57. It may be the car and I remember when it was found...
Caddy is a piece at a time and with summer around the corner I find myself pretty busy with the ranch, honey do's and hot rods as well. Just...
Titus really glad you got the car as I believe you appreciate it for what it was and is. I am sure some of the stock guys would like to see it...
Doug, the 1961 fuelies were placed in AA/SP for 1961. You will not find it in the rule book as the NHRA hastily added the class after the rule...
Yea Bob the original tags are a big deal. When I inspected the 1916 Packard racer that was returned to the U.S. about 25 years ago I crawled...
Doug, that is a really cool find. Packard built three complete cars for the 1923 Indy but only some parts survived. Brad Skinner was responsible...
Here is another good looking black 62 IMO. This one was out of Tennessee (Hot Rod May 1979). I had bought my first 62 in 77 and it was maroon but...
Bruce, I find this 62 to be pretty cool. I spoke to Ron Reader about the car a couple of times. On the roof it says owner, Ron Reader, mech, Butch...
Thanks for the compliment on the book Jim. You are probably correct on the 302/327. I actually like both engines. I had a 1968 Z-28 back in...
Great video to watch. If only one could take a trip back in time. When I was doing research for my book on Corvette drag racing (Corvette Drag...
It is pretty cool that he was able to use a stock hood. When I read some of the things that guys on forums say about how one cannot fit a big...
Found this picture I took last year with my car in the background.[ATTACH]
Colin and Doug I probably have more pictures but since the book my files are a mess. Here are a couple of pics at Autorama a few years ago. If I...
Here is a picture I took last night at our monthly car club meeting. Had to crop it a bit to keep it relevant. The black 57 has a dual quad 409,...
Chuck, I know what you say about hood clearance and lack of fresh air. I spoke to Jim Jr on this car. Cool that he is still keeping the old Vettes...
I like the car and would love to own it. I have a partial list of the cars that competed at Indy in 69. I am wondering if it is Richard Lasner...
Trying to figure the green 58 car out. Modified Sports was written out of the NHRA rulebook at the end of the 1967 season, so it could not run in...
catdad 49. The black 57 was pure badass. If I had to pick one favorite that really impressed me that may be the car. In the 60s Vettes pulling the...
Bruce, I am not sure what other cars Ed Laramie drove although for some reason I believe seeing him in a Mopar during the mid to late 60s (if my...
Doug which car are you wondering whether it is an altered? The red Midwest car driven by Ed Laramie ran altered but he could have run in MSP as...
