Not that I've got anything against running on rural roads- I just wouldn't expect any photographic record! |
Oh, I don't know Jack, kind of reminds me somewhat of Fonda and So. Glens Falls Dragstrip back in '68...
. Speaking of SGFD...

http://youtu.be/LQtDBRtHYok Note: At 1:50 you will see Ron Scott's A/Altered '23 T (upper left w 4 on image) which my father purchased the roller from Ron as he'd built a newer updated chassis Altered T w a flopper body painted Metallic Rootbeer Brown. Dad and I built a B/MP 389 Catalina used that engine in the Altered and also a SD421 for this car. This was my first car, the '23 T A/Altered, painted Pearl White over multiple candy colors...this car was given to me as a gift w Pontiac engines and equipment.
Those who know, will remember Ron had an artificial leg due to an previous accident. That didn't slow Ron down at all. As I recall going to his shop he was a really nice person and had great sanitarily clean equipment at his home garage.
Great thread. Thanks for the memories! Keep them coming.
