An auto repair shop and you race, that sounds like a full schedule in itself. You must have lots of motivation to juggle that. I would love see your shop if I am in Michigan. I don't have any plans to head that way, but you never know.
A new motor is an exciting way to start a season, will you build your own? Or who is your engine builder? My Ricky loved building and tinkering with his, everyone just did their own back then. I can't tell you how many dinners we ate over the motor in the garage. Hot summer day, Ricky in his white beefeater tank, but that is another story. And a good one at that. What two events do you plan on attending, I like to watch for people I know.

That is a nice lookin dart. Thanks for sharing the pics, the paint scheme is simple kinda old time.

Hello, Good Morning~
I was doing some looking and saw that in the past there has been a Hemi Shootout at Old Bridge Raceway Park, New Jersey (Englishtown).
Do you know if that will be held again this year and if so what will the dates of that be?
Thanks so much,
Stella~

I just got the flyer and pre-registration paper today and it doesn`t look like it. Just another thing missing from what used to be a better show. Granted I`m going anyhow but the Hemi cars where a real treat. I was looking forward to meeting CW in person.

helloooo oooo ooo oo oo o

Not much post here because NHRA has not run S/S at their last two races. They needed the pit space for the rolling palaces that the nitro teams travel with now.

figures

there were a few hemi cars at some divisional races,, i think in fontana cali,, houser ran an 8.81,, john rains went an 8.93,, in virginia,, wolkwitz ran an 8.65 with their new cuda,, i thiknk that was the first time out,, barton ran an 8.70,, daniels was there with bartons/parhams old dart,, al smyth was there and chuck comella ran 9.20's i think. you could check it out on dragracecentral.com...

o'malley would keep up on all that and now there isnt anyone to post up on goings on and so on,, plus with people making up names and so on bashing anyone that does,, it makes people not want to...

Man Jeff not only here but seems like that is going on Marie's site too. What a shame, that stuff kills it for most of us fans.

parma guy???

That 8.67 from the Fishstick looked good, by Indy it will be Thee car to beat. I think there was close to 105 cars for the first round.

Nice article about Mike Roth in National Dragster! Man, that guy is talented. There were also some pics of Don Bales new car.

Is that Don Bales from Californa, I think he runs a GT Firebird in AA or BA?
Good article on Mike, glad to see it.

There is a nice write up in the new July 2007 DRAG RACER magazine on the 2006 Hemi Shootout at Indy (pages 62-67).
There is also a full feature on Al Smyth and his '68 Cuda (pages 46-50).
