I never saw Fred run the Willys, but I saw him run a '68 or '69 Barracuda and later a '70 Barracuda. My understanding is he took the Willys...
Look at the body work on Collett's car. This is right after he lengthened it so he could fit the second motor in the frame. The frame is exposed...

I remember the first time I saw this car. I was just a kid and was walking around the pits at National Trail Raceway. They had the hood off of the...
Here is the current version:
Probably spending time in prison.
If I recall my history correctly, on one of its visits to National Trail, this one crashed at the end of the track.
Crider was from Salem, Ohio and Sam Brown Dodge was also located in Salem. Yes, it was an injected hemi dragster that he called Super Bee. It was...
Any photos of Francis Crider's C/Dragster? He also dropped a body over the rear wheels and ran as A/Comp or B/Comp or something of that sort.
Never knew the Rod Shop had a car like that one. What is that; an old Pontiac? Who drove it?
Great! Let's see some more.
Didn't George run an SOHC in both his blue Mustang and the red Mustang? Then didn't he switch to the 429 semi-hemi when he went to turbocharging?...
I'm guessing number 10A is Dave Blaney?
I don't know what it is about Carbone, but he always looked like a chimpanzee to me. Must have been those sideburns that made me think of it. I...
Where was Dorus Wisecarver from? I know I have heard that name before from local dirt tracks.
The photo is a little fuzzy, but that green Opel looks a little like the Stickel & Notlemyer C/Gasser. That thing was a sleeper. It never looked...
Oh yeah, Bob Glidden and the Monza were for real. Problem was he didn't do that well with it and if I recall correctly he went back to a Ford...
Does anyone have any photos of Larry Cannon's Yellow B4 sprint car from Danville, Illinois?
That's a new one to me. What class was he running in?
Given the sponsorship on the car, I would say this was the brief period of time when Frank Iaconio was driving a Ford.
It was driven by Connie Swingle. When Don Garlits went to live in Detroit for a brief time, Swingle went out west and landed in Ed Pink's car....
Had to be at least two, as there was a red car with twin Chevy small block motors and a black car with twin Chrysler Hemi's. I'm thinking there...

I remember these guys running a Camaro in Modified Production in NHRA, and GT class in AHRA, or maybe it was IHRA. Anyone have any photos of the...
I haven't heard that name since I was a kid. I saw a photo in a magazine back then, but it wasn't a modified roadster he was driving. It was an...
So kurtis, who is in the Indy Car #32 there for your icon? Is that Sir Jack?
Almost the end of the end of May. Heard any word on who or which Rod Shop cars will be at the reunion at NTR?
