    Rocky I'd like to add that Del's car still runs an early 394 Olds,like it did back in the day, not to be confused with the late model stuff.
    Del still puts his own engines together, I talk to him regularly when he's ordering parts....real good guy.

    Freddy Bear,
    I think Baby Girl looks very good with her nose up in the air.

    Thanks 47ragtop.... we do our best to give the fans a glimpse of what the gasser wars were all about. I want to apologize to everyone for the ruckus last
    night.. I appreciate Ryan stepping in and cleaning it all up. He made it clear that if it continues he'll remove the offenders from the HAMB. I appreciate that he tries to keep the drama to a minimum..

    Rocky

    Troublemaker, thanks for the photos... Getting a chance to run Indy was something really special for me. There were so many sub plots to this happening I'm sure I couldn't remember them all... To me, it was neat to race there 45 years after my Dad ran the original Boss Hydro there in 1967. Another great happening was having Bones Balogh fly in from California to drive the Big John Mazmanian 41 Willys tribute gasser on the anniversary of him winning it 50 years earlier... of course the high light of the event was having Freddy Bear wheel our Pirrone & Ellershaw built K.S. Pittman 33 Willys tribute car to the winners circle.. Definitely a weekend I'll never forget...

    Wanda,

    The line up for the gassers looks like this, Freddy in the K.S. 33, Bones in the Big John Mazmanian, Mike Hall in the Boss Hydro, YOU KNOW who I want to drive Gene's Anglia, if that doesn't pan out, I'll be behind the wheel.... and it will be a complete honor....

    The "Classical AA/GS Group" is much more than a group of cars...it's a "Tribute series" saluting the legends of drag racing... From the hero's like K.S. Pittman, Big John Mazmanian and my Dad Joe Pirrone Jr. that are no longer with us... to the living legends that are a still a BIG part of drag racing, watching Freddy Bear and Bones Balogh in the staging lanes is worth the price of addmission alone...
