Default Re: Royal info wanted

Just had to check the board for some comic relief. You guys didn't fail me. You truly want to rewrite history though with your blind faith.
Hey, thanks for the complement. But, Yep, I am older 50. No, Milt is not in his '70's but I'm sure he appreciates the compliment too.
Sorry, But you'll have to look into things much closer. In all of those "OLD" magazines with Royal Photos and you'll see it's Frank Redicker,Winston "Win" Brown, Clarence Walters, Chuck Broomfield, Sid or Dave Warren doing the heavy work. Pete Seaton got his start hanging around Royal, as did Jack "Doc" Watson.
I wonder if "Royal" ever won a race with everyone beating them.
Undeniable contributions? Milt didn't start "looking on" at a Sun Distributor machine, a heads cc'd chamber, or an open engine compartment while at Royal until the 1965 magazines. I read one books which you reference that Milt said he should have patented the ram air system he worked on in 1965.
Too, bad that the '61-'62 Chevy's where already using it on their NASCAR racers. Z-11 program and 409's
I don't know how it could be possible for Milt to do all you think he did. For example trailer and drive the 1966 "Royal" race car. Trailer and drive and the four "Geeto Tigers," be the "Mystery Tiger" at all of the Geeto Tiger events,(there would be two teams at two different tracks at the same time), work on customer cars, answer all of those "Royal Bobcat" questions, take out all of those magazine test cars,etc, etc. Heck of a guy. LOL
In the back of the many 1965-1966 car magazines where "ACE Wilson Royal Pontiac/ Royal Racing Team" ads. with a contact person of, John Martin. Later no name because the duties where shared with Dennis Frazho and later Milt.
You should go back to "SPEED AND CUSTOM" magzine in August, 1963 and you still only see Dick Jesse, Jim Wangers and Frank Rediker.
I guess you haven't come across the History Channel" History of The Firebird" With me in the credits. Or, Speed Channel "American Muscle Car, Hurst Corp" with me in the credits
As for my '68 Firebird Brian Ballish is the one who came up with the RA IV 455 combo in the car. Diamond/Elkins did the head work. Say. why don't you find "Popular Hot Rodding" March 1971 and tell us who's pictured putting the engine in my car. Frankie Albrick did the street racing with this car. He too is only in his early 50's.
Boy, with your theory, the dealership service department must have just about closed down completely with Milt being on the road so much. LOL
Now the factory had two (2) Ram Air V engines in Florida. LOL Milt must have trailered the white with gold "Bobcat" hood striped '69 GP, '69 Judge, '69 Trans Am and the '69 GTO Crystal Turquse with the white striped "Bobcat" down all by himself. Changed the RA IV out for TWO (2) not 0ne (1) but TWO (2) Ram Air V engines. WOW!
Go back and rad some more articles. Jim has it in his book. Might be easier for you to find.
Than afterwards call Brian and than ask Jim Wangers for more confirmation on whom did what. Brian is in his early 50's too.
As for the "Car Craft Allstar Team" Brian would love to talk to you about that too. That became the only jacket Milt ever wore for years.
Thom DeMauro. He definately didn't know how to spell Royal until resent years. Thom will tell you he doesn't have time for extensive research. That he has to rely on the few people he comes in contact with. He has to get out a magazine for entertainment.
It's amazing the only people that can profit from your refusal to beleive reality is the one's you are blindly defending.The ones who have motive to future profits. LOL
Kicked out of local GTO club. That's even funnier. Keep up the story book. The chapters are getting better.
Hey, when you get time check the State of Michigan Corporation registry and trade marks and federal trade marks for Royal Bobcat/Ace Wilson's Royal Racing Team and GeetoTiger. Let me know who's name is on it and for how long.
As long as you have Jim's book, look on page 143, Dennis Frazho, John Politzer and John Kosmala would all be in their 50's too. LOL
Milt's current brown '69 GTO was owned first by Jim Wangers. (First Owner?) Jim only had a Ram Air IV in that car. Yes, Milt's Royal Automotive did do the Ram Air V converstion, but for the second owner. Now it has a Ram Air VI designation on the hood. Please explain. LOL
Unfortunately those who you appear to idealize have made a career of taking advantage from your thrust for more. Really, knowlege is good, blind faith is just that.
Thank you very much for todays entertainment. I've got to send this to Jim and some others.LOL
