Here is another good looking black 62 IMO. This one was out of Tennessee (Hot Rod May 1979). I had bought my first 62 in 77 and it was maroon but...
Bruce, I find this 62 to be pretty cool. I spoke to Ron Reader about the car a couple of times. On the roof it says owner, Ron Reader, mech, Butch...
Thanks for the compliment on the book Jim. You are probably correct on the 302/327. I actually like both engines. I had a 1968 Z-28 back in...
Great video to watch. If only one could take a trip back in time. When I was doing research for my book on Corvette drag racing (Corvette Drag...
It is pretty cool that he was able to use a stock hood. When I read some of the things that guys on forums say about how one cannot fit a big...
Found this picture I took last year with my car in the background.[ATTACH]
Colin and Doug I probably have more pictures but since the book my files are a mess. Here are a couple of pics at Autorama a few years ago. If I...
Here is a picture I took last night at our monthly car club meeting. Had to crop it a bit to keep it relevant. The black 57 has a dual quad 409,...
Chuck, I know what you say about hood clearance and lack of fresh air. I spoke to Jim Jr on this car. Cool that he is still keeping the old Vettes...
I like the car and would love to own it. I have a partial list of the cars that competed at Indy in 69. I am wondering if it is Richard Lasner...
Trying to figure the green 58 car out. Modified Sports was written out of the NHRA rulebook at the end of the 1967 season, so it could not run in...
catdad 49. The black 57 was pure badass. If I had to pick one favorite that really impressed me that may be the car. In the 60s Vettes pulling the...
Bruce, I am not sure what other cars Ed Laramie drove although for some reason I believe seeing him in a Mopar during the mid to late 60s (if my...
Doug which car are you wondering whether it is an altered? The red Midwest car driven by Ed Laramie ran altered but he could have run in MSP as...
Good show Jim. An adventure you should be proud of. Times were consistent and impressive.
Sounds like a real adventure. Stay safe and have fun.
Looks good Larry- I am sure you will have fun with it.
Jim in regards to leaks I have on occasion heard some complaints from the wife on rainy days. I have found if the seals in the doors (especially...
65 pacecar the Placke Chevrolet 62 above was a cool car. I was not able to secure a picture of the car with permission but I dd mention it in my...
I'm trying Doug. I just sprayed some test panels for the maroon I am going to use on the chassis-hopefully I will get some color on the chassis...
Guys for whatever it is worth, some of you know that I was in the process of writing a book on Corvette drag racing. To say I have had challenges...
Scott, I saw this car on FB and it made me wonder. Not sure if I know of a 68 National Champion 1961 Vette in MP. Possible I suppose and would...
Yes I have seen his Fiat-cool car.
John always puts on a great show with his 62.
A couple of pics I took with my cell phone of John opening the Saturday night racing flying the nation's colors, John pulling the wheels in that...
65 Pacecar, is this a picture that you took? Nice picture.[ATTACH]
We set this picture up on Saturday morning. My "stock" 62 with Paul Zielsdorf's great looking blue A/G 58 and John Reidenbach's super quick AA/GS...
Not much left of it and when you figure the doors are empty and chopped and the top is chopped etc. The front clip was so-so anyways so maybe the...
Another group of nice cars posted by 65pacecar. Doug on the Nemesis drag car I always assumed it was a 61 with a 57 nose grafted on. There are...
Lots of great pictures 65 Pacecar. I am especially fond of the 2 Midwest sponsored Vettes above (Gianino and Schaeffer). Watched both of them run...
