Relay for the Winged Express??

I just got off the phone with Mousie Marcellus. He is recreating the Winged Express after it took a bad tumble at the Fuel & Gas finals in Bakersfield last November. The ch***is is finished and needs to get from Brownburg, Indiana to Garden Grove CA. I will phone Keith (ch***is builder) tomorrow for weight and dimensions. I know the Wing has more than a few admirers on here. Maybe we can help out. Mousie has repaired the body, wheels are ready and almost everything is ready to make the car ready to run. I'd sure like to see this come together soon. Mousie and the 15oz Coupe gang are planning to do a tour of exhibition races. I get giddy thinking about that! Mike Boyd in the Wing and Gary Read in the 15oz Coupe!!! Both on old style open trailers. Header Flames over the top of the cars! If you've ever seen real Awful Awful/ Fuel Altereds twitching and sashaying down the track at 200 mph and 7 seconds or better, you know why I'm excited to help this happen.

Hit me with some ideas, friends. Of course there will be a HUGE pot of my infamous Hydrazine Flash Chili at the end of the trip.

Bump Goosebumps

 

I'm toddling off to bed. Here's a bump for the night owls

 

What is the timeframe?

 

ASAP. I don't think Mousie has any other offers currently.

 

If it was not a hurry I could ask about putting it on the Goodguys rig in Indy...but he may be trying to get it together fo that event.

 

I'll call him tomorrow. That's in June, right? When would the truck be heading back to Calif?

PS, were you at Pomona? GGs did a GREAT job! *****en racing! p*** that along, will ya?

 

A bump for the daytime folks. I'll check in after work.

Thanks for looking.

Dang it, that sounds like it won't be at Bowling Green ? It's only 5 weeks. Wish I could help.

 

I can ante up for a Mid-West leg as I am near KC.
Say something to the tune of a couple hundred miles.

PM me with the details-weight, size, etc. Have a connection, in Brownsburg, who may need to to dead-head a trailer to L.A. soon. Plenty of room I would think.

 

I love the HAMB!! Look above. Crossing fingers.

 

BTTT Mousies birthday party is June 2nd and it would be so cool to have some good news on this. Thanks

 

Im too far south to be of any help. BUT if for some reason it makes it to Texas, I can haul it most of the way across the lonestar state.....

Good luck guys...

 

Getting some good offers of help here. Maybe I'll have some good news for the Birthday party. Thanks, HAMBers!

Mousie found someone coming this way. So it's a done deal. Thanks for all the help, guys. Mousie says thanx too.

So glad to hear this is coming back together. I hope to see it run when I come over next year.

Does anyone remember or have any magazine articles on the 15 Oz. Coupe?
Maybe the Drag News CDs available on www.wdifl.com might help?

 

Heres a cool pic for ya.
