Folks Of Interest Hamber Marcia Showcased

I was snooping for content and happened into this well shot group of pics at the recent Jalopy Showdown in the Online Wall Street Journal of Hamber @Marcia putting the Roadster through the paces and really highlighting the passion of what we enjoy here...congratulations on the well deserved press......and you have a really cool Hotrod Racer...

Unfortunately if you aren't subscribed you can't read it......perhaps you can see the pics once and then it asks you to subscribe...I was able to see them...but there is a story that required a login...BUT I cleared my history and I was able to see the pics again...so give it a try...

She's the real deal.

 

Leading the pack.

 

I did a search for this before I posted the Thread BUT that is only as good as the words you use in search...so my apologies for the redundancy to @jakespeed63...you were well ahead of the game on this news...

Marcia is also an avid Land Speed Racer with several records at Loring ME. She owned and drove a former 57 Chevy stockcar refitted for Land Speed Racing with a 302 GMC engine. She has also driven at Maxton NC and Bonneville.

 

She's the real deal for sure.

 

hats off to this cool lady, admiration galore

Great competitor.

And I remember that Corvette! How is the racing coming along? Are you coming back to Loring?

Go Marcia go.

 

My timing slip from Loring Timing. This is a stock B engine.

In the open car and air that is motoring...I can imagine the thrill...
It also is evidence that a lighter vehicle makes a difference.

Thanks Marcia

Any pics captured to share...

Easy on the 'sweet' talk. We're supposed to be hoodlums.

 

That's moving for a stack B 4 cylinder, 61 MPH is the best I could do in my coupe. HRP

 

At the starting line. Good sides or a tonneau cover might help.

Good Sides...

I was trying to think what those were called just yesterday...as there was a roadster and it looked like drop in panels sitting on the trunk area...

I guess a Tonneau is lighter...On your Mark...Get Set...​

 

X2!

 

I meant hood sides. A cover would keep a lot of air out.
