Re: York 30 Show
Is the show 2 days? I am thinking that if our trek to the Reunion is successful this year, I might be able to talk LaDonna into going to this show next year. After all is is only 600 miles further than Collinsvile!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]Jim

HI Who was the other (racer?) sitting next to Bill Jenkins in the picture? Joe Tryson used to be one of the mechanics... Thanks for the picture!

Re: York 30 Show
HI Bill Jenkins was running that little white Vega at the track for a WCS Meet. I asked him for his autograph and handed him a Two Dollar bill. He immediately said "where did you get that from, the horse races?" I mumbled something and then he signed it for me!
While some here wonder if they have their motor painted the right shade of orange; all the Jenkins motors were painted black. From camshafts to the bore and stroke Jenkins was the master of the "unfair advantage" before Roger Penkse even thought of it. Regards, |

Hello Charles,
"unfair advantage"--such a harsh term---Ingenuity-sounds much nicer---Catch me if you can--is the name of the game. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]-----JoeG [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] |

Re: York 30 Show
For those inquiring, my buddy Motown Matt was a no-show at the York show! I was there, so if you were there Matt - I must have missed your visit. True to your post on the Nova board, the show was very interesting - even without your royal presence [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

That Bronze 1968 Z/28 is Jerry MacNeish's. He solidly has the car in the 10.80's zone this year. Runs NHRA Div.(1). [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: York 30 Show
Did Jerry run at the US Nationals at Indy the year before last? Or maybe at Las Vegas last fall? I'm sure I remember seeing this car running in stock...

Re: York 30 Show
I could not believe my eye's when I walked into the building. I didnt know which way to go(left or right)Like a little boy in a candy store. This was Very impressive and if I new this was going to be this good I dont think I would have gone to the Mopars at Carlisles.The DH car was drop dead gorgeous and couldnt take my eye's off this car
I was Very impressed with Brians restorations. Hands down some of the best work I have seen in years. Brian thanks for your time after the worm up LOL !! The best is after the trophy's when the guy said its 9:30Pm and we have to be out by 10:00Pm. Watching them start up and the sounds in the building made you feel fuzzy all over. I know where I will be next year. Thanks guys !!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] |
