    The old Holt and Whitacre Rambler, ran under the index with a straight six. Driven by Tom Whitacre and built by John Holt who owns a local chassis shop here in Columbus. The Rambler body is sitting behind his shop.

    Sorry, no pictures, but don't forget about "Fast Eddie" Schartman from the southwest side of Cleveland. I believe he's in the Drag Racer's Hall of Fame?

    Those names are all familiar to me.Harold had a Pearl White 57' Nomad when we worked at the Shell station.Big Dan had a black Camaro with a set of HUGE rear tires.I seen Ohio George a few years back in Bowling Green Ky. at the Hot Rod Reunion;he gave me the news about Dick V.The last time I saw Dick was at the Hara Arena car show,he did have the T-bucket.I may have a picture of it somewhere.I also was told that Dallas is somewhere in the Carolinas.I loved working for these guys,great high school job & memories.Thanks for responding.;)
