That radiator is shocking . Never seen such an animal as that.
Awesome !

No, it was done by a different guy from Nebraska.

The cars owner is Ron Chamness from Illinois

For the wife and for me, this being our first time, we booked kinda late. Got a "trackside" RV spot, non-electric. Got on waiting lists for an electric space, a golf cart and a mobility scooter.

We got calls an hour apart from Dornan and Stride Mobility, and we reserved the golf cart. I'm glad they called first, since our RV space was at the dragstrip's extreme end, so a half-mile from the starting line. Scooter (little Pride 3-wheeler) would have been unsuitable, and the golf cart was cheaper!

Golf cart made the event most enjoyable and provided new experiences for our 3 dogs to buzz around with us and get all kinds of attention!

For early years we use to walk around. Bringing quad one year helped getting from race side to show side .Then renting cart was the easiest,quickest. When your class is called up.Where the time goes i can't believe it's been so long. The anticipation for the event,then the event, now a week later,time flies.

Randy Ferguson (Robinson Illinois) did the front end for the Stan Long/Stan Antlocer ebay car.

I love how there are not one but two guys in this day and age with this level of talent.

Yes that level of creativity is amazing. I've never really done bodywork just tinkered.

I observed about 90 percent of registrations on the show field belonging to Ohio
Where are all of the other cars these days?

My biggest surprise was how many 61-63 Tempests were at this event, especially the race side.

Those 61-63 Tempests make good race cars. Attractive looks, way, way overbuilt unibody construction. Room for a Pontiac V-8 without major modifications. Early GTO styling clues.

Hey Mike! I'll be selling a 62 Lemans soon, right down the road from you. It could be your next race car project!
