Goodies Speed Shop -Cars Wanted

Hey Guys,

We need to show some HAMB support at the Goodies Speed Shop Grand Re-Opening Get Together. It's Septmeber 29th.

There will be a big drawing for hot rod parts and swag, a live band, Mojo Burger catering and badass cars.

We have 2 Nostalgia dragsters, a T/A funny car, a Henry J drag car and muscle cars lined up. We need some traditional hot rods!

Show-off parking is limited so show up early for showing off. Plenty of parking around the building. Come and go as you please.

A bunch of the Goodies employees from the 60's will be on hand for some great stories of Jungle Jim, Lew Arrington and other early drag racers.

Hey HAMBers.. I had an hour to kill friday morning...stopped by and checked out the new Goodies...
Its the real deal....they have the stock on hand and from listening to the personell (on the phone and with customers in the store) they know what they are doing..
I am a retired parts guy (traditonal, real parts store with machine shop,paint,etc...) and a racer for 39 years so i don't say this lightly...
support these guys and shop here..we need more places like this..
maybe we can convince them to become an alliance vendor!

The shop van is great.

 

Thanks!

It would be great for some Hambers to show up.

The "Hamb" burgers will be waiting for you and your hot rods.

Wheres " Brutus " when ya need him ?...Shop Van's "Groovy"

 

Goodie's is re-opening, cool. I grew up in the Los Gatos / Campbell area and Goodie's was a staple for all the go fast crowd in the south bay area.

Hell, if I didn't already have something going on on the 29th, I'd probably jump in my heap, head up there and spend a weekend back home.

 

I wish we knew where any one of these old Goodies drag racers were.

Funny, Goodies is across the street from Permian, home of the MOJO football team here. I thought at first this was a post about Texas...LOL

 

Hey, I'll bring my 512cid Caddy powered model A roadster pick up. You said "show up early for parking" what time is best?

 

Maybe Porky the Pirate will be there.

Ask any of the old guys about the porkmeister.

 

Great! Starting time is 8AM. You don't have to stay all day if you don't want. It's been a long time since there was an event like this in the parking lot, so there's no telling what time would be best for the cars to get great parking. I'm sure it's going to be a great time. We have a wide spectrum of cars showing up. Bring your ear plugs if you want to get close the racecars when they fire up.

Which nostalgia cars are coming?

 

I know where Ron Mardaga's old Goodies sling shot is. The new owner is getting ready to restore it. Camm

 

Unfortunately we don't know where any of the "original" Goodies Speed Shop cars or dragsters are from this page:
http://www.racehome.com/goodies.htm

But we have Brendan Murray's Nostalgia dragster showing up. Shawn Corbari (son of Ron Corbari-original Goodies altered driver) is bringing his dragster and Brett Williamson (son of Don Williamson who had the Goodies sponsored Hairy Canary Valiant) is bringing his T/A funny car. Don Williamson will be at the event too. He raced and was friends with Jungle Jim and Lew Arrington, of Brutus fame. There's going to be a lot of other cool cars too. If the Mallicoat Brothers Cuda was not damaged in their horrific accident it could have been at the show too. It's a miracle Gary and Jerry are still alive.

If anyone has info on any of the original cars still in existence please let me know. It would be awesome to have that info.

Thanks,

Back in the 70s we had a 'speed' shop in our podunk town of Burnley, Lancashire, England called Bolt On Goodies, they sold the usual crap like Cal custom scoops, sidepipes, prismatic stickers and metalflake paint, but for a teenage kid, like me, it was like being in heaven when visiting that place on a Saturday afternoon.

Good luck.

 

sounds kool....I'll be there....guess I'll have to leave Salinas around 6-6:30....anybody want to cruise up????

 

I'm glad the weather will be better than last weekend.


More confirmations were done today. Gary and Jerry Mallicoat will be on hand. Unfortunately their Cuda is being repaired from their accident. There will be a couple more nostalgia cars showing up.

the sun is out,i'm heading down there in a bit...

 

Just got back about an hour ago, nice little show, saw a few nice cars and a lot of muscle cars, especially Camaro's, it was like Camaro central.
Thanx for the free Burger and Soda!

 

Thanks for coming! It was a good time. It was nice to have more than Camaros at the event. We'll be able to plan a much better event next year now that we have an idea of what to do.

There were some cool cars from Hamb there.

Take care,

Jim Miraligia was the Manager at San Jose and later moved to Salinas store, he crewed for Liberman on GTO and Nova funny cars . He is still around and driving his 31 Roadster. In '64 it was a tri power Pontiac when he entered it in Oakland Roadster Show, now blown SBC. This picture was a Paso year before last with Dennis Gauge. 79 years young and drives his daily driver a 40 sedan 8 or so thousand miles a year. 9 years older than me and I have to work at it to keep up

 

If anyone knows the whereabouts of Jungles first 2 Novas it would be Mike Guffey. He’s owned them a couple times. He can probably shed some light on Brutus too.

 

Where is this and when was it?

 

I worked at the San Jose Lincoln and the Sunnyvale Knickerbox stores
