Could be 77 Daytona 500 with AJ Foyt in the 51, DW in the 88, Buddy Baker running 5th in the 15 and Cale Yarborough the eventual winner. Just in case you were wondering. But I could be completely wrong about all that. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Re: Old Street Scenes

^

the KG is a "staged" picture ... he borrowed some angel hair for smoke for the rear tires ... and painted twin "rubber" strips as well ... he owns an E39 M3 now, and is still active in autocrossing

the top photo was a 50's night at General Motors Institute in Flint MI, taken in the driveway of the house we had rented across from campus, ~ 1973

68 302 Z28 (MO) engine in the 56 210 with a 62 Corvette Rochester FI on it ... I just ran across those plates after all those years ... NVY 302 ... my neighbor worked at a Secretary of State branch and got them for me, pseudo "personalized plates ... e<span style="font-weight: bold">NVY</span> my <span style="font-weight: bold">302</span> ...

somewhere there is a similar picture of the 56 ... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

What up with the lever bolted to the underside of the dash? Improvised cruise control?

I'm betting it's an early hand operated brake control. I saw a few of those before Hurst came up with the line lock. Dick Brannan (local to South Bend) was smarter than most and rigged up a Studebaker "Hill Holder" solenoid on his 63 Ford light weight car, and connected it to the clutch pedal. Don't wanna be rolling out of the staging beams you know.

Re: Old Street Scenes

That's the Frank Sanders Z-11. Home made roll control at the starting line.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Well, 'ya beat me to the punch Verne! I had a suspicion that was the Frank Sander '63 Z-11 in that interior shot. I can recall when that car was discovered back in the Eighties with only 2200 miles on the odometer! I think it was Spurlock who was able to acquire it back then. That particular car also qualified 2nd at the 1963 AHRA Winternationals at Beeline with 11.93 @ 119 MPH. That was a fast Z-11, especially so early in the season!

Re: Old Street Scenes

my 70 Z28 in the late 70's / early 80's at a street Solo event in Fountain Hills, AZ

not much "street scenes" to the picture (picture of a picture with the reflections ...), but some opposite lock to control the high speed "drift" that was going on:

Re: Old Street Scenes

Great shot Jim. What is a "street solo event"?

StriperSS

08-18-2010 05:55 AM

Re: Old Street Scenes

Street Solo would be an autocross or slalom event. I competed in those back in the late 70's, early 80's with a 67 Malibu. Got some photos somewhere.

correct, one car on the course at a time trying for the best time

penalties for hitting cones (the course markers)

they are called autox, autocross, Solo, Solo 2, Solo II, slalom, etc

a timed event with no fender " rubbin' "

you turn right and left, then right, maybe left again, etc

no straight stuff per se, some straights, but basically a miniature road course timed event

Re: Old Street Scenes

Jim, did they run that event on the streets of Fountain Hills? Curious as we owned a home there in FH for 11 yrs, albeit many years after that event took place.

08-19-2010 08:35 AM

Re: Old Street Scenes

yes, for a few years ,,,, it was a blast, took my 73 Z28 there later (the 70 was in paint prison) and beat John Heinricy who drove up from the GM DPG in a "new" Corvette (one of the last years of the C3's). I think it one of the 1st few Solo events John attended. One of the events was sponsored by the Four Cylinder Club of Arizona, another I think by the Cactus Corvair Club, not sure if the SCCA ever ran one

Avenue of the Fountains was one of the streets, then it turned North (?)

can't remember the exact streets it used, it was West of the Fountain and West of the small business area that is there today

And is that a Funny Car about half way down the front line of cars for sale??? Looks like the body is propped up off the chassis in the front.
