The Jalopy Journal
Hi folks- It’s been several years since I’ve posted here, but I was quite active in the early days. I attended the first event in ‘03, and also...
Oops! Never mind. I thought you meant the centerline of the car. The engines are indeed 'nose-to-nose. My bad. )-: Still, the article and...
dreracecar - "all four of the engines were pointing towards the center of the car, nose-to-nose"? I don't think so!! Check the construction...
You are the MAN Bill! Great to hear you're still kickin' ass with the auction. I hope all is well with you and your family. Take care pal.
Dennis - Try it again next year for sure. A date set two or three months ahead would really help. It's just so hard to do things on short notice...
Depending on when the date turns out to be, I'd be willing to give it a try - that is, if old geezers are welcome? FWIW - Maybe it's too long to...
Mother's Speed Shop - Springfield, MO. Not the biggest, maybe not the best - but it was (1/2) mine! My partner was a guy named Gene McKeen who...
Do any of you guy's boxes look like this? It came from what was supposed to be a '32 Chevy truck (but not for sure). It turned out to have an...
Gang - Here's my '37 gasser from back in the day (1968). Bought the car just like you see it here (less motor and trans - it had been set up for...
Very nice!!! Thanks much. As always, your photos are something special. Went a handfull of times, starting in 2000, but spare cash for the trip...
Ryan- I think its only right that you bring back the giant golden bull that welcomed us all to HAMB drags #1.
Guys- I'm fortunate enough to be one of the Speedway Museum's volunteer staff, and as a "retired" drag racer, Bonneville, and open wheel circle...
Ryan - Somehow, even after all these years, I have the feeling we ain't seen nothin' yet. (-: I've said it before, and will do so again. You...
Hi John! Welcome. I've been here for about 10 years, I guess. Used to be quite a bit more active, but the huge number of posts just...
Here's the one you're looking for. I had a speed shop in Springfield, MO in the late '60s. The Edelbrock TR1 was the first commercially...

Hey 66- I'm an old dude myself, and messed with the 292's myself for several years (hence my "screen name" of stan292. I had a 292-powered '37...
Dirty - First, make certain you have a 292. If you don't know how to tell, the sure-fire way is to check the size (height) of the lifter...
Dart race cars? How about these?
Gang - Regarding the Surfers question, "Lotus John" Morton drove before the group actually picked up the "Surfers" name. Does that still count...
Fun thread! How about: Double-clutching Hot wrench, or Oklahoma speed wrench (cutting torch) Playing chicken (bad idea) Lakes plugs (long...
Here's my favorite - and arguably the most successful jr. fueler of all time - the original Allison & Crow car that set and re-set the low ET and...
Sorry for the delay fellas. If anyone still cares, I finally remembered to contact Pete Millar's daughter Robin about the possibility of...
Kiwi Kev, and others. I think you might find that some of those "early" kidney bean style wheels (especally those with very small holes - as...
highboy - Don't mean to step on a fellow Hamber, but I checked out the "lakeheaders" site and didn't care for the way the three short pipes go...
Gang - The first ones - and the very coolest, in my humble opinion - that I ever saw were done by Pete Millar in the late '50s-early '60s (like...
I raced at the Irvington track back in the mid '60s. It was an old airstrip North of Omaha, so it might be the same one sololobo knew as...
BTTT - Are you out there Luke? It is Luke, isn't it? Can anyone out me in touch with him? Thanks -
Luke- Talked to you three or four years ago at MoKan about purchasing your little racer. I was there this year and saw the car, but wasn't able...
I scanned the first handful of pages and didn't see anything on this, so thought I'd post it. Sorry if its already old news. I just saw on...
