I will be there once again this year.

Bring your camera as Norwell will have his 'Diamond Deuce' there being used as the tow vehicle for the "James Boys" Willys gasser !

Just my opinion, one of the best events around.......

Norwell will have his art work for sale at the "Mothers Worry / James Boys" drag car trailers... Stop by and say hello.......

 

Hey Phil, you getting a kick back from the track or something? Lots of advertising on your part!-MIKE

 

We will be there again this year. Last year was a blast. Jeff i would love to see some of your art work in person. Will look you up. It's going to be fun.

Glad to see we stirred up some interest of the old days at Niagara. Speaking of Leon's 33 Willys, he still has it and it will be there! The Yosemite Sam car i think was his old Anglia he had back in the 70's too. Anyone got any old pics of cars that raced at Niagara or Lancaster? See You There!

 

ha ha I wish, I'll be paying full price like everyone else. Mike it's getting close and you know it's a great show that doesn't get much fan fare in the magazines. Just trying to do my part in getting the word out. So your coming right.......and not going to miss the "Thrill of a Life Time !"....lol..... NITRO.....NITRO....NITRO....lol

don't you have any pictures to post of the event ?

 

hey phil, nice pics and thanks for all of the info. hope to see you up there. take it easy

The last Bad Banana (IV) is pictured on the Sunday Niagara website next to the Cirello Motors Comet - one of my favorites. The '56 Chevy gasser that stands out in my mind was "Poison Ivy" a green and white 2door with green windows running E/G. Not sure of my facts but it was supposed to be running a de-stroked 265 and seemed like it came out of the hole at about 10 grand. A real screamer. Anybody remember the Junior Stock starting line sit-in.

Can any of you Buflo guys shed some light on the recent history of this '39 Chevy. Sure appears to be the same '39 that was owned by an old garage mate of ours back in the mid-late '60s, Jack Bickle. I went to the Rochester Autorama with Jack where he was showing the coupe. He had the misfortune of being placed right next to the front of a brand new Roadrunner in a Chrysler display. They had a button set up so the spectators could blow the cool Roadrunner horn. After about the ten thousandth "BEEP BEEP" I thought the horn wires were going to get ripped out of the thing.

According to a recent article in Gasser Wars Magazine #57, it is owned by Skip Kazmark of Buffalo. His father gave it to him in 1953.

 

I know the car is detuned to keep it in the 7.50 index so it doesn't need the updated safety requirements.
It does look like a great weekend weather wise, just around 80.

 

We did some leaning on that car over the winter. It's owner is a member of the Clutch Artists in Buffalo, and they have an oldies night every year in November. Car is Mint!-MIKE

 

Starts tomorrow, here's some low down on prices and pay outs http://dunntireracewaypark.com/c/sunday-niagara-2009.asp

price for Sunday is 35.00 for show and race, driver / one passenger

price for Sunday show only is 20.00 for driver and one passenger

 

If any of you see Ron Gerstner walking around could you ask what the status is of his old '34 Ford altered coupe. Last time I stopped by his collision shop out on Main Street it was sitting in the back of the shop in primer. He said he was working on a full restoration but I've never heard or seen anything about the car since then.

I'll be there, rain or shine. Bringing the 47, anyone need a toe vehicle...
