copo9566aa,
You have some collection of old memorabilia---when you make up the Motion CD, see if you can add the engine sounds and the smell of frying tires [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]---I'm pretty sure the guy with his fingers in his ears is Joel Rosen.----Great Shots--------JoeG [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

copo9566a,
I had a little help with this riddle---the guy in the black hat told me. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]---Really enjoy your old photos and ads. -------JoeG

Re: Motion Division
 

I remember the article on that 72 Chevelle..it's awesome! As I recall, they also blew out the rear end while doing the road test for 'Hi-Performance Cars' Magazine and had to replace it prior to delivery to the waiting customer. Another shining example of the fact that I was born to late.

You very lucky to know a legend like Joel Rosen Mr.Motion. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

copo9566aa,
I think the car hobby is lucky --that Joel Rosen, MR.

a Vega Estate Wagon Turbo Charged

And possibly a Bandidos buggy....

Re: Motion Division
 

copo9566aa,
There was an article about 350 turbo/CH. Motion Vega estate wagons being shipped over to the Middle-East.--I wonder if that is the Motion Manta-Vette in the background?? ------JoeG [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Motion Division
 

Roger,
Nice picture [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Do you know where and what date it was taken?

Re: Motion Division
 

This is probably this one...
Motion Vega estate (woody ) wagon 350/CH Turbo Charged
The letter CH is for Charged ????
This is probably the hood on the top....
Firestone tires... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]
Side pipes...
Yes the two Vette is probably two Motion Manta Ray.
One possibly Orange or Red and the other Yellow.
But with B&W pix ???

Re: Motion Division
 

I thought the Hemi Dart was absolutely unbeatable, but not according to this picture where Bill Mitchell's Motion Camaro pulls a big holeshot on it. Cause all I've been hearing about that period's drag racing was Hemi's were beating everything, i'd like to find out different.

Re: Motion Division
 

Bigblockhappy,--------I guess Bill Mitchell had the Hemi-Dart reaction time.--------------JoeG [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]-----Plus that Motion Camaro was a Bear!

copo9566aa,
Yeah--sorry got a little lazy--turbo/charged=turbo/ch
Firestone Tires--In the article the Vega had Firestone Wide Oval 60's in rear and Firestone 70's up front, I guessed they paid more attention to quaility control back then.----TODAY [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]---JoeG

Re: Motion Division
 

Didn't a Motion Equipped 454 Camaro Hold the A/MP and M/MP NHRA record in the early 1970s.

Re: Motion Division
 

What he said ---plus there was that rookie [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img][Bill "Grumby" Jenkins]---I think he pulled one or two hole-shots on the favored competition.-These fellas gave it their best shot everytime, no matter who they were up against--otherwise it is just a matter of numbers and statistics and believe me that is not the magic formula to win a race.---I feel better now [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]----JoeG

Re: Motion Division
 

I'm not sure how the actual point standings wound up but here's a couple shots of Dennis Ferrara who took over the A/MP & B/MP duties waving the Motion banner. Notice some evolution in the 2 pics. Coincidentally, Ferrara also ran the 70 Grumpy's toy XIII [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] car in it's last incarnation until 77 I believe.

Re: Motion Division
 

In 1974 Dennis Ferrara set the A/MP record at 9.39 in Suffolk, Virginia. He also had the MPH at 145. He used to make many test runs at Cecil County and usually put the car in the low 9.20's in many occassions at that time. Great Competitor! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]
