1. Most of the clubs invite out-of-area members. El Mirage requires a lot of member duties to pull off the meets and the out-of-area members can...
. . . there are records to be held! (. . . and heritage to enjoy.)
Those settings are almost overkill -- but would be fine at El Mirage -- see you there?
Starlight was the name Studebaker used for its no-pillar 2-doors hardtops from (I believe) 53 forward. When the Hawks came out, I'm not sure they...
I'm looking at the ad above -- I think it's a year or two after we quit drag racing. I'm just posting this as back then, many winners of "cash"...
Please tell me more about the (58?) Studebakered Packard. I'm probably wrong (not unusual), but I remember Ford using the "Starliner" name for...
[ATTACH] I'm no Hemi expert, but I got this Hot Heads manifold from them 15-20 years ago. It's a much better manifold than just changing a top...
I lost six "air cleaners" after beating a guy in shuffleboard. Months later when a float stuck while I was pressurizing the system and set it on...
Seats? I used Mustang II suspension on my '28 Mercury. (I mean their two buckets holding my ass up from the floor.) Is this gonna get me suspended?

[ATTACH] . . . and here's it at Fontana. DeSoto powered as I recall.
Ol' Drop-It-On-The- Ground . . .[ATTACH] Let me explain -- See the steel caster wheel just in front of the slick? One on each side. The driver...
If to be believed . . . it tapers off at 11 grand(?).
Whatsa 62-ft. valve cover?
Thanx!!! Is it true that they were the inspiration for the 58 Edsels?
Wow! This is inspiring! I didn't realize that there was any other shell to put on a Hot Rod besides the '32 Ford! Even if it made the hood run...
[ATTACH] Under threat of being deleted -- I channeled this 54 Plymouth 4 inches (over a later model GM mid-size car) frame (hope they don't get...
. . . we must be cousins.
I think that the Pontiac motor has a lot going for it -- but it's hard (and probably expensive) to rebuild. I'd suggest you look at the 231"...
[ATTACH] . . . it says SHITTERS.
G-B-P at Fontana? No, I don't think so. Fontana had some stuff between lanes as shown in the attached photo of the Mackey & Kitchen C/GR (the...
