After being raced in Kansas in the 70s The 1970 black RAIV judge " BIG IRON "was purchased and brought to Rochester New York there it was raced in the 70s and 80s and then about 10 years ago it was purchased out-of-state and restored now it's in a collection somewhere

Thanks for the history. I always enjoy hearing it.

Pete

You're welcome , thanks for posting these pictures , there great !

Judging from the removed diff cover and brake drums I'd venture to say Rock Running is not having a very good day.

:(

What's up with the slick white outfits, knowing you're going to be wrenching.
Glad to see this guy has his slicks under the rockers in case those Mickey mouse jack stands/jack take a walk. Not sure if the front tires are chalked, or raised.

I don't know about the outfit but I do agree with the slicks. Placing the tires underneath the car (even if only jacking up the back of the car) has been my modus operandi for years. The extra insurance never hurts.

I dunno. A gear change because of different track conditions perhaps? Btw, did ya notice this is a T-37 model?

I tried to buy that yellow '69 ra4 Stephen's Firebird about 17 years ago. Stayed in touch with the owner for quite awhile. I like this '67 white fbird.

Too bad you weren't successful. I always liked their race cars.

Changing a ring and pinion at the track in these cars is no fun, regardless of the motivation...

:( :(

Yes - he's quite famous for that -

Anyone see this car run back in the day? I did. Awesome body-twisting torque. :)

My father, then my mother, used to own a car like this, 370 cu. in. 2-bbl. engine, white with green insert (or whatever the body relief, aka rocket ship, is called). This is the very first car this (then) 15-year-old ever power-braked and did a burnout with--more than once--unbeknownst to my parents. :D Gas station attendants nine times out of ten couldn't find the gas filler neck. Could you? Lol.

I don't know about you, but I think these full-size Ponchos were and still are cool.

Here come Arnie Beswick's Judge! I believe it had a Ram Air V engine back in the day.
