Semi-Hi-jack Alert

Does anybody have any current information on

"The Gypsy" Original 1970 340 6-pack Stocker from the 70's?

Dave Tweedy from Idaho was the owner last I heard.

Thanks

Not on your list but I'd love a photo of my car when Joe Umbra from Wilkes Barre,PA owned it.

Bob Kaiser purchased it from Joe and then Bob sold it to Kent Ritter. Some guys say it was Tim Richards before Joe Umbra but don't know how to reach Tim or Joe to confirm that. Any info/photos would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex

Alex,

Joe Umbra also had a 71 (or 72) GTX 440 car.

Kaiser went on to run one of the Hamburger cars.

Ritter campaigned as a 440+6 in your car.

Tim Richards was of course the Ray Barton of his time, before moving to fuel categories.

Fred,

You are correct: With so many tracks and so many racers, Division 1 was THE hotbed. I did not start until roughly 74, and Junior Stock was already going away. Junior Stock was back when you had to have a muffler under the car, not connected to anything! I have some non-Mopar vintage photos as well (L.A.W. Automotive Sedan Deliveries, Corbo's Sunoco's wagon, John Mason's Pontiac, and on and on).

Oh well, time to go make a living.

Re: Div. 1 Super Stock/Stock Race Cars! Are They Out There? - 11/26/08 04:26 PM

Jere Stahl started in a 57 Chevy sedan stocker, remember? Before he got into MoPars.

Remember George Cureton's "Tokyo Rose" sedan delivery? One of many, the "Yoo Hoo Too" sponsored by the chocolate drink outfit? The name slips me as to who drove it.

Those cars were everywhere. I wonder what happened to them all? You would think that with the number of them that existed there would still be some around somewhere. I'll have to post some pictures this evening.

Do you guys remember Bruce Larson's Cobra? I think it ran B/SP.

The wedge MoPars.....Al Olster's "One Step Beyond", Doughty's "Tuff Nuts", (I think that is his son that races one in NSS), Carl Schodde's "Steel City Wedge". A lot of those cars were Jenkins prepped, too. Remember Centolanza's RO Hemi Plymouth won the SS Nationals at York in 69?

Hi Holgar,

Remember talking to you about the car on the show side. Thanks for all the information about when Kent had it.


Bill,

Yes, most people remember Umbra's GTX. I'm not sure how much he ran the Cuda. When Bob Kaiser bought it from Joe it had the Richards motor in it already. Bob thought Umbra got it from Richards but that's the end of the info trail.


If anybody has any pics when Umbra had it(supposed to have been all white at that point)let me know. May have also had "Umbra Seafood" on the side of the car.

Thanks in advance,
Alex

The Jr.Stockers were some of the first racing wagons. The old 55-57 sedan deliveries. I liked reading about the Jr. Stockers as a kid. I remember the Jenkins and Stahl names mentioned quite a bit. Controversy about 4spd hydro's and 4speed sticks in 57 chevys. And something about them protesting how I think Stahl had his licence plate shaped.

Re: Div. 1 Super Stock/Stock Race Cars! Are They Out There? - 11/26/08 04:40 PM

Even tough I race Div 5, Div 1 really was the center of stock/superstock (JR Stock too). I loved reading those early Super Stock&Drag Illustrated articles about the Div 1 cars(Centolanza RO car for one). Div 1 even had the All Star Super Stock Circuit. It was great reading about those races.

Thrill for me was racing at the Dutch Classic in 2002 at Maple Grove. You can tell those guys are serious about their stock/super stock stuff. Seems to me guys around here go for more Super Gas ..Super Comp etcc...stuff(no knock on that stuff of course).

Oh Welll....I'm going to get heck from the Div 2&3 guys now....

Re: Div. 1 Super Stock/Stock Race Cars! Are They Out There? - 11/26/08 06:42 PM

Gee, how 'bout Kenny Montgomery?
Lemme see if I can remember any:
Steve was Joe's red and yellow 63 "Tight" or "Tuff Nuts" ? Kenny Lau's 64 Dodge "Lau Raider". Al Corda's steel nosed, ragtop, Max Wedge 64 Plymouth running SS/FA. Ron Reaman's white SS/DA 64 Plymouth (thanks for letting the kid help). I remember at least several dozen more,both Mopars and brand Xer's, but didn't want to dump them all out right here.
Posted By: Steve1118

Re: Div. 1 Super Stock/Stock Race Cars! Are They Out There? - 11/26/08 08:18 PM

You are right! Doughty's car was "Tight Nuts".

Corda wasn't a Division 1 car, though, he was from Wisconsin somewhere. I thought that Dr. Lau was from Michigan, though I could be wrong.

Remember Tritak & Morgan? The wagon was unbeatable, and they later had a 64 wedge hardtop that ran pretty well, too. They also had the Super Stock Magazine Hemi Cuda SS/DA, and I think they were division champs in that car, as well.

I've heard the wagon is still around the east coast somewhere, but I have not seen it for a long time. I don't know where the hardtop or the Cuda is. Someone told me not too long ago that Pete Tritak wants nothing to do with drag racing....he won't even discuss it. If true, that is sad, he could add so much to these discussions.

Kenny Montgomery is still around and runs on a regular basis. He is at all the Beaver Springs NSS events, and runs the Pittsburgh Chrysler Classic.

Re: Div. 1 Super Stock/Stock Race Cars! Are They Out There? - 11/26/08 09:08 PM

Steve, I think Al and his wife Jackie lived in Pennsylvania for a brief time. They were regulars at Maple Grove during my teenage pit rat days. The move was job induced, but they were always looking to return to the land of the Big Cheese. Obviously, they did just that! Kenny's Dodge was an old Mancini car, I'm sure that's where the Michigan thing comes from.
Steve, we definately grew up in the same parallel universe! Here's some more to stir the discussion key:
Norm Fryer's "007" SS/D Camaro
Ciccarone Bros SS/D Camaro
Bennett & Sirianni SS/I sbc Camaro
The "Pink Panther" SS/DA? or EA? 64 Plymouth
Vern Rowley's "Mr Speed" 64 Hemi Plymouth 4sp
Nate Cohen's "Nazy Crate" T-Bolt
Barry Curran's SS/IA "Super Shangri-La" big block Chevelle. VERY pretty car.
Dupree-Lupo-Croteu (sp?) 64 Dodge SS/BA Hemi This was the Fairbanks "shop car" Frank Lupo is now Dynamic Converters and has a 70 Hemi Cuda SS/DA-EA.
Bob Beckett's SS/OA 350 Olds Cutlass. Root Beer brown with not one decal on it, this thing could have crushed its soft record at anytime. Bob used to flat tow it on the turnpike with a mid sixties 4 dr Ford Galaxie.
That's enough for now, I gotta try and find my old snapshots!! RICK

Steve,

RE: Ken Montgomery

I just presented the attached photo to Ken at the Dutch Classic. I took this photo in 1969 at Island Dragway, a couple of years before I started in S/S.

Regarding Tritak, he still operates his shop at the SAME LOCATION on Lexington Ave in Clifton. He specializes is air conditioning work. I drive by occasionally, but he always looks too busy to talk. I know this because he shop is so full, he usually works OUTSIDE!

Corda raced many times at Island with the ragtop. White with a black top.

Re: Div. 1 Super Stock/Stock Race Cars! Are They Out Th - 11/27/08 02:48 AM

I have the "Lau Raider Dodge" now. It was originally built by Tom Tignanelli and Ron Mancini came in later with his factory support to finish and campaign the car. Kenny sold his '69 Barracuda 383 car to buy it in 1970.

Kenny ran a service station in Shoemakersville and was also in the National Guard. He moved to Maine shortly after selling the Plymouth in 1978. I'm not sure where the Doctor thing came from?

I was also tracking the "Lau Raider Plymouth" down, but have since learned it was parted and a new one was built with the parts.

Last time I talked to Kenny, he was thinking about moving back to PA. He said he would be around at Christmas and expressed interest in coming to see the car. I really hope he does.

Re: Div. 1 Super Stock/Stock Race Cars! Are They Out There? - 11/27/08 02:53 AM

Rick,

I know every one of those cars well. Years ago, with Stock/Super Stock combo running at E-Town, and at the time there being no breakout, the Bennett & Siriani car would sit alone in the staging lanes for a half hour. We had to flip coins to see who would pull in second, insuring a guaranteed loss. B & S had everyone covered by a mile! Bernie Agaman and Claude Urevig were just as fast.

Also, I think Jim Lovallo got out of his Chevy and into (I believe) the Lupo/Dupree/Croteau car, or perhaps a Max Wedge car before the Cuda came into the picture for Lupo.

This is insane: I could go on all night with this! (And it doesn't get any better than that!) If you have not already done so, go to my website (link below) and click on Moparcheology at the top. Then click on Vintage Mopar Drag Racing for more cool stuff.

"The Gypsy" was at Belvedere, Ill Mopar show a couple of years ago. Seemed to be a shell of it's former self...with lots of current technology on it. I talked with the owner Dave Tweedy. "What does it run?" I asked. He gave me a look and said, "It's much too valuable to race it." Wow, I couldn't beleive it. I admire people like Fred, and others who race their cars like they are ment to be. Keep the history alive on the track, not in some stuffy old museum.

Ken is still racing the one he bought brand new. He also had the original Jack Werst car, but that was destroyed in an accident at Indy in the seventies sometime.

I did a piece on Kenny for Competition Plus, I attached the link. Some of you oldsters may find it interesting.

I remember one of the slick things that the Bennet & Sirianni Camaro had was some kind of plumbing that tapped into the cooling system on the tow vehicle. When they arrived the motor was all warmed up and ready to go. I've not seen anything like it before or since.

Here is a shot of Al Olster's "One Step Beyond".

I just remembered another tough Bowtie team: The Musser Bros. They started out with a big 427 68 or 69 stick Chevelle and after constantly breaking it got a SS/I small block Nova. Barry wore HUGE eyeglasses and I'd bet he was legally blind without them, but a nicer guy (or tougher racer) you'd never meet.

Re: Div. 1 Super Stock/Stock Race Cars! Are They Out There? - 11/29/08 09:12 PM

[Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean], that shot was taken at old Keystone Raceway Park, (now Pittsburgh Raceway Park) back around 1972-1973. Wes Leopold's son races a SS GT Daytona, and Lydon is back in the MoPars again with a maxie 64 Plymouth A/SA. He raced some SS GT Camaros for a while. The Hemi Cuda is an original and Jimmy Lydon still has it parked on display in his game room (no kidding), just the way you see it there.

Here is another "heavy" of the day; Carl Schodde's "Steel City Wedge". The car was almost unbeatable in the western Pa.-Ohio area, and was very successful in Division One points and the eastern NHRA National events. This shot was taken around 1974. It had been wrecked, repaired, and got one of those fancy paint jobs by Greg of Akron, Ohio.

Make the trip to the Beaver....you won't regret it!!!

Car owner Vinny Borsella re-installing the Shaker scoop on his SS/JA 71 340 Cuda as I am jumping in for another pass at "The Patch". He does all the work, and I drive: What's not to like! This is the current Bill Meerholz car, which he and I are working towards resurrecting. Bracket racer John Moser's Cuda is in front, and he used my camera for this shot.

"Grump's Group"

SS/C and B/G for Bill.

SS/C for Dave Strickler.

This is the first time I saw a serious "rig" in person. At the time, the Strickler-Jenkins Performance Clinic trailer looked like it was 100 feet long!

Jerry Stein's ORIGINAL "Teachers Pet" in the background on the right.

Steve, I think Al and his wife Jackie lived in Pennsylvania for a brief time. They were regulars at Maple Grove during my teenage pit rat days. The move was job induced, but they were always looking to return to the land of the Big Cheese. Obviously, they did just that! Kenny's Dodge was an old Mancini car, I'm sure that's where the Michigan thing comes from.
Steve, we definately grew up in the same parallel universe! Here's some more to stir the discussion key:
Norm Fryer's "007" SS/D Camaro
Ciccarone Bros SS/D Camaro
Bennett & Sirianni SS/I sbc Camaro
The "Pink Panther" SS/DA? or EA? 64 Plymouth
Vern Rowley's "Mr Speed" 64 Hemi Plymouth 4sp
Nate Cohen's "Nazy Crate" T-Bolt
Barry Curran's SS/IA "Super Shangri-La" big block Chevelle. VERY pretty car.
Dupree-Lupo-Croteu (sp?) 64 Dodge SS/BA Hemi This was the Fairbanks "shop car" Frank Lupo is now Dynamic Converters and has a 70 Hemi Cuda SS/DA-EA.
Bob Beckett's SS/OA 350 Olds Cutlass. Root Beer brown with not one decal on it, this thing could have crushed its soft record at anytime. Bob used to flat tow it on the turnpike with a mid sixties 4 dr Ford Galaxie.
That's enough for now, I gotta try and find my old snapshots!! RICK



My next door neighbor bought a 64 aluminum 4 speed Plymouth from Vernon Rowley in the late 70"s. Vernon said he was buying a boat. I wish I would have ask the history of this car. Dave Mosley ran it as a 4 speed. His brother and I took it to Indy and were class runner up to Dave Wren. Raced a lot of IHRA super Stock both 4 speed and Auto. It is still around being raced as a bracket car by a well known collector. I have not been able to trace in back from Vernon, any help???

I have the "Lau Raider Dodge" now. It was originally built by Tom Tignanelli and Ron Mancini came in later with his factory support to finish and campaign the car. Kenny sold his '69 Barracuda 383 car to buy it in 1970.

Kenny ran a service station in Shoemakersville and was also in the National Guard. He moved to Maine shortly after selling the Plymouth in 1978. I'm not sure where the Doctor thing came from?

I was also tracking the "Lau Raider Plymouth" down, but have since learned it was parted and a new one was built with the parts.

Last time I talked to Kenny, he was thinking about moving back to PA. He said he would be around at Christmas and expressed interest in coming to see the car. I really hope he does.












Steve, I was partners with Dave Mosley and we bought a 64 Max Wedge Dodge with both the aluminum and steel fronts from Tom Cunningham. The car was painted in the Manicni red and yellow paint like Luke Garners car except in had New Era potato Chips as on the doors. We had several class wins and set the record on IHRA. I have tried to track the car since I sold it. Englehart had it for a while but he didn't seem to want to tell me where it went from him. Any chance you have it? If so, I have several photos and some history for you. I tried to PM you several weeks ago but it would not go through. As soon as I can get the photos to go through I will post them.
There was a photo on the 63, 64 thread before it closed. It was at Lexington, KY. The car was white with red and blue stripes. It has Mosley Auto on the doors and Griffith Moore Dodge on the quarters.

That's not my car. My car went from Kenny to a man named Richard Leaper in Glenmoore, PA. He painted the car brown and raced it for a little while. It was then sold to Richard Hutchins in Pasadena, Maryland. His wife, Thelma, ran the car until 1995. It's been in my garage since November of 1995.

The car you're talking about sounds like the old Rod Shop '64?

Mr Slick, do they still make jokes about Elverson in the local news rag?

Anyway, you're right about the E-body Cuda, Rick Wolf's was a Six Pack car that ran in SS/FA and GA. Rick was a watchmaker and the name is "Time Flies" in Latin (got it straight from a Latin teacher in high school). I believe Clayton Wright is still around in Stock with a B-body 273 wagon.

'' The Gypsy '' is alive and well.I still terrorize the neighborhood occasionally and it will still lift the front end with the 488 gears. I'm not sure Turbo what you saw in Belvedere but the car is not and has never been as you have described it. '' A former shell '' and upgraded technology? The complete drive train was freshened but there are no mods except for mufflers to keep the neighbors happy. The car is as it was raced, original, Fast,and beautiful as it was. (Complete story in MCG Feb 04). Only a fool would race this car in competition side by side. Here some pics of Ray Montgomery original owner and Driver (Here local) In the expo building in the same room 33 years apart. Cheers! Dave Tweedy

hey everyone i know im writing on an old post but i have some good info very early in the thread someone mentioned the one step beyond 63 plymouth and the 62 plymouth of callahan and sulc. my dad owned the al olster car for a bit and that car is somewhere on the west coast getting a full restoration. the callahan and sulc plymouth was bought and brought to division five where it was raced by a man named rick johnson along with the one step beyond car at the same time coming to division 5 driven by john murphy renamed decimation. my dad purchased the 62 plymouth in around 1982 the car was tubbed and caged by don ness(builds prostock stuff now) before we got it. my dad ran a max wedge in the car for years but it has been sitting in storage for about 10 years i got it out to bring to a car show last year and plan to have it out and about more i have a new picture of it but if anyone has any other old photos of it or anything let me know i would love to have them!

Hi, I know this is a old thread but I thought I would ask.I see on your list you have the Pink Panther 64 plymouth.I am new on here and thought I would look for it.My dad was the wrench on that car in '71 with Sunny Freeman driving.It was SS/EA and the car held the record that year 11.11 on a 7" tire.Then later that year it blew the record away at 10.86 on a 10" tire.They sold the car to Sam Panute.I am still looking for the car and I don't know who to ask on here about it.I met with jerry stien (Teachers Pet)and he did not know but that was a few years ago.Any Info please let me know.

I announced for many years at 75-80 Dragway in Monrovia, MD. Some of their best races were Super Stock/Stock meets. There were many standout drivers, but the "Pink Panther" won just about every time he would show up. Driver was focused and nothing would distract him as he pulled to the starting line. What I remember was a little chain that dangled down from the front of the car. Don't know, but I had one on my street car that I could wrap around the radiator partition and padlock to keep people from opening my hood. Maybe that's what it was for??? Another quirk was Sonny would put ice on the intake manifold and when he would make "dry hops" approaching the starting line some of the melting water would trickle down between his front tires. I was always afraid that his slicks would get some of the water and he would go sideways at the start. NEVER HAPPENED! One of the best running Mopars from that era.

Here's some more to stir the discussion key:

Bennett & Sirianni SS/I sbc Camaro





I'll never forget when that car rolled into 75-80 Dragway. At first, I didn't recognize the car. On the door in large, engine turned, gold leaf letters were the words, JUST ME. What? I couldn't figure it out. Turns out, they were no longer a team, just Carl Bennett or Ron Sirianni. (I think it was Bennett)
Anyway, at the finish line on each side of the track were metal poles with large Sprite (like the soft drink) signs. The sign would flash indicating the winning car of each race. "Just Me" went down in the right lane during eliminations. Just before reaching the finish line something happened and the right rear wheel locked up (blown rear end? don't know). Well the car went abruptly off the track to the right, just missing the Sprite sign pole and went up an enbankment and flipped into the air. Driver was OK, but the beautiful, white SS/I car, was a mess. What a shame.

I'm the Bob Kaiser that owned Joe Umbra's Cuda. Tim Richards built the car for him. I also owned Clayton Wright's 70 Cuda at the same time. I bought Tritak and Morgan's 64 2 door ht. I sold it to Gary Hettler and bought it back. I had Bill Styles's 68 Cuda and the 68 that Clayton Wright has now. The Umbra car is owned by a guy in Ohio and is called High Flying Hemi.

Good to see you on here Bob! There are pictures of your Cuda on here somewhere. The history on that car is a little vague. That is also the Kent Ritter/ Baughman Car, correct? It was said that car was originally raced by Tim Richards. Is that true???
