National Impala Convention July 27th-Aug1st
 

Just to let everyone know, I just received the official package for the convention. It will be in Indy and will include a drag day at the track. The NIA is for Full Size Chevys '58-'70. There will be invited Z-11s and Nostalgia 409s, as well as many big brute MK-IV big cars.
Their web site isn't updated yet with info but here it is anyway. http://www.nationalimpala.com/

I plan on bringing a blue '62 out there and will be staying with a friend before and after the convention in a little town in the middle of IL called Philo (about 2 hours from Indy) so if anyone wants to pop by and visit let me know. Hopefully some of you big car guys might want to join the fun at Indy. Contact me for now if you want more specific info on the convention.

Well, the blue '62 didn't get done in time, but I had a borrowed car to race. Great convention, and I have many photos to share as soon as I can get them all sorted and put in a link. Stay tuned!
I managed to meet Mark Webster and see his super '65 Biscayne. (He passed along your greeting Ken). I also did manage to have some luck and took the overall eliminator at the drags. (first time I drove that car). https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Well, here goes. I've never uploaded an album before, so I hope this works.


Enjoy!

Here's a vid of the final run. The heat got to the motor and it vapor locked at the top of 2nd & 3rd. I thought all was lost but the other '64 ran out by .017, so I got the win light. IT's nice to be lucky.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Cool Vid - but can't get into album - even cutting &amp; pasting that password?
