Re: race car pics from the early 70's
heres a cool story, i posted this awhile ago but with all the new members i see popping up, i guess i can tell it again.both my dad and Russ got their motors back from the speed shop at the same time. they decided to see who can get theirs fired up first. i believe the Big Block guys prevailed......again.....more Old Style..

Re: race car pics from the early 70's
here is Russ and Steve( owner of that wild painted '56 ) they were the ones that did the chassis work in the vega.steve with his "thinking cap" on...thats what they called the hat....he always had it on......
 and the same two guys using a tree for an engine hoist. i think they pulled a boat to a local park,pulled the motor, moved the boat and dropped it in the bed of a pick up truck. probably Old Style influenced...   yep....look in steves hand.........

Re: race car pics from the early 70's
Jeff,
Was that Dan Mamsen's Yenko in the pictures at the Arlington show? When I saw your dad's pictures at the recent ChevyVette Fest there was a vintage picture of an orange '69 Yenko with your dad's Yenko. He said it was Mamsen's Camaro. I thought it was my car that was owned by Mark Janowiak in Carpentersville in the mid '70's. Your dad remembered Mark's Yenko and said it had been to his garage many times. Great pictures! Thanks for posting. Mark
