Mark, to see that car running so hard that it twists axles off like they were made of chewing gum is just flat out awesome. Anyone who says these cars are just "investments" and that the interest in them is going to go away should change their mind in about 30 seconds at any SCR Friday afternoon. I think I can speak for everyone helping out that it was cool to be able to get it all back together and ready to kick some more a$$ with the limited resources available, although I must admit that Howie's tailgate made a pretty good workbench. Besides that, how many guys can honestly say they worked on a Phase III Baldwin Motion car? (even if it was with 3 flatblade screwdrivers, a 3/8" drive extension and a claw hammer. )

no way was that Howie's truck we were working on!!..I did'nt see one crushed beer can in the bed...he must have borrowed it from the neighbor... the clutch pack springs put up a fight but we prevailed. like the guys said no guy left behind and it was fun to get dirty out playing.

Budnate, 7:00 that night I parked next to Capt. Carls truck which we sat on the tail gate. The back of the box became a can box. The next day 50+ cans and pizza box was in the back of it.

Not surprised......These guys would give you the shirt off their backs! They did the same for me and I am sure they will do it again for someone else!

TRUE CLASS ACTS!!

Typical Supercar workshop! Instead of enjoying the race,they help a fellow member in need. Always willing to help.

I happened by and saw a HUGE crowd around Hassett's '68...I'm talking 25-30 folks easy! I peaked through and could see some folks under the car with the rear apart, and it had almost a seminar feel to it, with the SCW boys front & center as usual! Talk about going the extra mile!! Those guys never cease to amaze me, year in and year out...
