York 30 Show
 

Anyone got any photos of the cars at York this weekend....for those that could not make it? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: York 30 Show
 

WOW,What a SHOW!!!! Brian Henderson says every year that this is the SHOW for the East Coast and he ain't lying!!! The BOYZ of Latrobe always set the bar for others to achieve and my GOD, Joe's DICK HARRELL Camaro was nothing but F%#@ING INCREDIBLE. And boy did it have a SWEET neighbor. Frank Arone's AWESOME COPO Camaro.But I would say my highlight to the Show was Frank's son Caleb. His son has such a talent that goes beyond words. Aside from his father,Caleb's idol is Ed "BIG DADDY" Roth and boy can he draw the most amazing pictures.So to my surprise I arrive at the Show to be handed a picture that Caleb drew for me with me coming out of the roof of a 69 Yenko camaro with my Yenko earing and yenko tatoo, doing a BIG FAT BURNOUT.It was also great to talk with Ed Hedrick for a couple of hours about the GOOD OL RACE days of the past. I can't wait for next years SHOW. I could go on and on , but you guys that missed it this year should make a point to attend next years."MOF" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: York 30 Show
 

The Mayor is right...York was a great show, great cars, great facility, great turnout, and great people. Perhaps a future east coast Supercar Reunion should be considered, might draw some new cars out of hiding and the "Back Easties" seem to really embrace this kind of thing.

Re: York 30 Show
 

Just curious...did a certain '68 funny car show out while loading or unloading? Knowing it's owner, I'd be surprised if it didn't...[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: York 30 Show
 

I would like to thank everyone that attended the show on behalf of the Supercar Registry. The cars that were part of this years group were very special. One thing that was a definite highlight was Cackle Fest. About every three hours the East wing would fire up Bill Stiles Hemi race cuda'. BUT on the West wing the job was done with Tom Clary's new 68' Dick Harrell/Courtesy Funny Car. That car is LOUD inside a building!.. It would bring the crowd to a roar after each and every run. I still can't believe they let us do that. Joe was the seat man for the firing. I even had a turn. What a rush. As a group, the Supercar Registry won the best Musclecar Award. The judges told me that they could not pick a winner from our group. So the entire Registry was awarded the trophy. It is in transit to Alton MO. It will be on display at the reunion. Next years event will be in the new York Fairground building that is even bigger than the old one. We will once again be invited to take part in this event. Anyone interested in next years event should contact me early to reserve a slot. Thanks again to all the people that made this years event...BKH [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: York 30 Show

You know having that FC is pretty handy----in cold weather if you door locks freeze you can pull that FC next to your car fire it up and whala-no more frozen locks ---in fact no locks,no doors etc.,but hey ,after the car cools down your in. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

No, its not what you think it is... but it IS a 25,000 mile original paint/original everything 69 L78 with all Day 2 mods done in the early 70s. Same owner since 1974. VERY cool local York PA car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: York 30 Show
 

I enjoyed the show, it was outstanding! I'm glad I made the trip from Seattle! I was able to meet CamaroJoe and SuperKid, MHasset, Marlin, Tom K, and Tom C. as well as Matt Murphy. It was great meeting each of you, I hope I can make it to the reunion!
Here are a couple of other cars I haven't seen pictured yet..

Mark Hasset's ZL1

Re: York 30 Show
 

Some folks were really interested in examining the black paint under the trunk lid of Matt Murphy's Dick Arons / Berger car. I don't know what they concluded though...

Re: York 30 Show
 

Oh yeah, Matt had another fabulous car there as well - his #50 of 50 COPO 9738 Nova..

Re: York 30 Show
 

Bruce Larson was there with "USA-1" and stopped by to visit with Tom Clary..

Re: York 30 Show
 

A nice Corvette Bronze "E"-Stock car..

Tom Clary rapping the throttle during a cacklefest. Note Mark Hassett's car is moved, and there is a crowd watching...

Re: York 30 Show
 

Finally, to add to the debate over firewall chalk marks and colors: This Daytona Yellow RS '69 Z was marked on the firewall with R Y E L (part of the Y is obscured in this photo). Probably for RS and yellow? The car had a black and white houndstooth interior (not yellow houndstooth). Also the owner said he found an "80" (probably for D80) chalked elsewhere on the firewall.

Re: York 30 Show
 

Here are a few more to feast your peepers on...

Bruce Larson's USA-1

Here are a few more close ups of the burnished brown L78 Chevelle...awesome car with a really cool original owner

Tell Charley to feed that dog more often, I can see that dogs lobes.-----JoeG

Supercar Kid
That spare --was it a UNIROYAL-because I had FIRESTONE--and it didn't say deluxe champion----don't know about the opticlean bottle I didn't have one, but the dealer could have put it in.Very nice Chevelle --looks like he pampered it.--YOU guys did some JOB!!!! : [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

JOE looks like he's thinking to himself "I wonder ,did moparts really run a wire from the mag to the seat of this FC, to send a charge up anyone's butt who revs it to 4K RPM'S"---- [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: York 30 Show
 

Wow York 30 looks like it was a GREAT show! Man some really grade A cars were there. Toms car looks awesome! JoeyBsYc your display looks cool! I can't wait to see it someday. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: York 30 Show
 

Hi Sam: Those are some great shots. That was an unusual color for a Jenkins Competition team car! Over the years most of their cars were white except that Chevy II that Bill Jenkins ran with great success. In 1969 Bill Jenkins, Dave Strickler and Albert Olster each had a white Camaro. Though it was Dave Strickler who ran the only small block Z/28 in the group. Albert Olster got off to a very slow start in 1969 because his COPO Camaro took 4 months to arrive after he placed the order in November 1968! Thanks.

Re: York 30 Show
 

Drag racing legend Bill Grumpy Jenkins. When I was in high school we spent a lot of time talking about him and reading anything we could find about him in the magazines.

Re: York 30 Show
 

Found an old picture of Bill with his 67 Camaro when he won the NHRA all star super stock circuit emblem
I tried to make Grumpy smile. When I asked him to autographed this picture I asked him if he ever did any professional modeling. He just grunted but I think it was a happy grunt. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: York 30 Show
 

Joe G, it was definitely a Firestone Wide Oval, you can even see the "wide oval" text in the top of the pic if you look closely, and obviously we're looking at the backside of the tire here. I've seen a few of these in original vintage pics, for example on a 69 Camaro pace car in Valerie Harrell's photo album, the letters on the front side are very small, almost like a Goodyear Polyglas or Wide Tread GT, not the large WIDE O OVAL lettering we see on today's repos. I think the repo versions are based on a 1970 model Firestone, any real vintage 69's I've seen have been completely different, with the small white lettering and "Deluxe Champion" text. Just neat to get a chance to see the real deal in person, thought it was worthy of photographing. Survivor cars are always the most interesting IMO. I also took a few close ups of the original vinyl top seams, and tried my best to get a pic of the original PPG glass markings. I'd be happy to e-mail those to anyone who's interested.

Re: York 30 Show
 

Supercar Kid,
I had Firestone wide-ovals up front on my '69 Chevelle --it did have the small white lettering --just didn't remember it saying Deluxe Champion--I guess like you said, it's on the backside of the tire and back then looking at the backside of the tire wasn't on the top of my things to do list- If I think real hard it becomes vaguely familiar, but then again ,if I think real hard I get a headache--Thanks for saving me from a headache---JoeG [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

You should have been wearing a SOX & MARTIN shirt when you ask Bill "GRUMBY" Jenkins for his autograph---that would have made him at least smirk [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]---JoeG--
