Hello to all. I stumbeled here after looking for some hot rod heros from Ridgewood N.Y. (Merkel, Sanzo, and Tarantola). I street raced from 1966 till I left the apple in 75. Have worked for Chevy, and Oldsmobile dealers before getting a job fixing County dump trucks, and now fire engines.
Welcome to the H.A.M.B. from Ft.Lauderdale. Lots of car activity in this area. In fact there is a big Halloween Car Show in downtown tomorrow at Huizenga Park at the Andrews Ave bridge and Las Olas Blvd. Hope to see you there 10:00am to 4:00pm. Stop by and say HI. Bill Carroll
Welcome from the west coast of Florida. If you hung around with those guys you must have known Tom Clark. Every racer in the New York area knew where Jack Merkel shop was in Ridgewood Queens back in the day. Sure brings back some wonderful memories of the 33 and 40 willys. Best Regards Jimbo
