Marty, 70s programs are great! thanks

 

Hi Marty, Thanks very much, You have gone to a lot of trouble, good on ya mate, as the aussie's would say

 

New class forming under the Bruton Smith/Ray Evernham names.

They are very excited about it and are looking to expand.

 

Not a real new idea, they've been trying to get this similar deal going for a couple of years.

Here's a couple of cats I used to pit for !!! On the left is Frankie Lies the driver and on the right is Kenny Riffel the car builder and owner. These two were a very potent duo when they were teamed up together >>>>.

 

Ok I know some of the guys are into the 60s supermodifieds and the NCRA stuff so enjoy >>>>.

 

Definitely like!!!

 

Frankie Lies on the left. Sorry I thought it was Kenny.

Early 60s car >>>>.

 

Did Riffels use the same body on several different chassis throughout the years? I keep noticing that beltline getting shorter as the #55 brand becomes a fullout 70's supermodified.

 

Yep Funny thing was the body kept shrinking. Some composite pieces even showed up >>>>.

 

looka how

Update on the Hampton 94 restoration (NCRA Supermodified)

 

My neverending project

Does anyone recognize this power steering unit. It's in my 80's upright super and the lower end looks like a Schroeder, but there is no name or numbers on it. The upper part (torque generator) is not working and needs to be rebuilt, but I want to know the make if possible. Thanks.........

That looks just like the power assist i used on a Schroeder box in the 80's. They work great when , well, when they work. No problems with mine however. I have a Lee today, and it feels the same.

Any way, Schroeder should know where you can send those, or get a rebuild kit.

 

Thanks Brian26. I'll give Schroeder a call. I've got everything else done, but can't drive it. Bummer..........Mike

 

Since I went to the cast iron Lee/profile steering boxes, I haven't had a lick of trouble.

Like I said about the Schroeder power assist- They were great, but their reputation from what I heard was they went out, when they felt like it.


I know it sucks to not have a steering gear that works. For some reason, I found getting one on a car was the biggest challenge -except for a driveline setup on a 100" car.

Is that a Luther Brewer built car?

 

No. It was built by a guy to race dirt at Butler Speedway in Quincy, Mich. when they ran supers. It had a chopped off Edmunds type tail, but I wanted the Champ car tail to make it look better. My drive line was quite simple since it runs a TCI type Powerglide. The nerf bars & nose bar are made from 1-1/4" x 1/4" wall tubing. Evidently he didn't want to bend them up.
