Here are a few more ...one more of the Wagon, My uncle's racing partner Al Etter when he first ran his car at Pomona in the 70's... and Tim Halls A Dragster. Tim currently runs a SS/JA SS/JA duster. The last one is a picture of the wagon in its current state... really makes me sad to see it rotting away. It's already rusted beyond repair.

I think I beat Don in that car at OCIR a week before the divisional race back in the mid 1970, maybe early 1980s bracket racing work Al move two blocks down the street from me in Hesperia after he retired form the telephone company, I've had him flow more than one set of heads on his bench wrench
What is Kenny doing now?

Haha, not sure which flow bench it was but Don's flow bench is at Shane's (Don's Son) shop in Utah. Precision Cylinder Heads
Kenny is working at Mazzolini's shop these days, then heading to his shop in the afternoon, just talked to him yesterday.

I sure miss my Uncle - Don
And Al too.

Those guys were my idols growing up and hanging out at the racetrack.

Cab- Those little block Chev's spooling up into the stratosphere certainly did have a sound of their own. They also came apart in interesting ways. Our first Winternationals vacation was the 82 Winter's. During S/S elim's, there was a red 56 Chevy. He did his burnout, then wound it up for the dry hop. The rpm's came way up, then the sound just stopped. Dead. That entire rotating mass came to a dead halt it seemed like. The sound just ended from where we were sitting. That car did a rotational rock that was plainly visible from up in the east side stands, about 200 feet down from the starting line, and all sorts of internal engine parts externalized themselves.

Not sure Cab, I have not heard of that particular van. Sounds awesome though.

Nothing like racing a ragtop. I actually picked up a .1 with the top down. That was with a '65 Belvedere with a 426 street wedge.

Oh yes! First car I learned to powershift was my street driven 1970 383 Road Runner with the 23 spline A-833 4-speed transmission.

Here's a photo (of a photo) of my RR back in Dec. 1981 after I got through cleaning my car off and shoveling the snow out of the driveway. I wish I never sold it. frown (Check out the open Air Grabber scoop.)
