Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

To mr. Outten: Was viewing your photo gallery of very nice corvettes and noticed a question re the yellow 69 car-it looks like supinskis yellow corvette ss car from div. 1.
Also mr. Southerland in the dime rocket post with billy nees:you mention involvement with the ayers family valiant-would you like a copy of the june,1970 hot rod magazine article about this sharp little 273- 2 bbl n/sa car?

Re: Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

Contact Rob Ayres at robsale@sbcglobal.net about the magazine.

I have a copy of that article but would love another copy. You can contact me at the e mail address Dwight posted. In addition, I would love to find that car. My father sold it to a racer in Ohio back in 1971. Made me so mad I didn't talk to him for a month.

SAMATCOTOOLSMAN, thanks for the post, but I don't think it's the Suspinski car. I've looked at few pictures of that car and their paint scheme is a little different from what I remember, however they could have had different layouts at times.

When I got the car it had "La Haies Autmotive Research, Lansing" & "K and D Performance" on the front fender and "Shadowoods" on the hard-top sailpanel if that helps anyone recall. I will post the pictures on here of the lettering that was on the car as soon as I can upload them to a server.

Thanks, Dave Outten

Re: Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

Dave you seem to be buying up all the cars from this town. I assume you still have my wagon?

Re: Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

Sure do Bruce! I'll try to post a recent photo ASAP. BTW, while I'm waiting on parts for the stocker engine I threw together a "everything on the garage floor that wasn't broken in half" engine so I could go out to play. Stupid thing went 10.82@120+ at 3625#

Mismatched flat-top pistons, a 250/259 roller, Edelbrock street heads & intake, 750, ancient (?) stall converter, 2.52 trans, waaay toooo much gear........what a blast!!!!

Re: Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

Nice corvette!
Rob ayres,will scan "grog" article and email to you asap.if you want hard copy,please let me know.

Re: Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

My first far off race at La Place, Mr Ayers, driving Grog, handed me my tail first round. I asked myself "how did that dang thing run that fast?" lol

Re: Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

Ed, I well remember that race. We always did good at LaPlace. The little Valiant loved that good south Louisiana air. I'm in Tulsa several times a year. Next time I'm over that way, I'll look you up. Lew, Thanks so much for the copy of the HR article. I have several copies of that magazine, but had never scanned them.

Re: Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

LaPlace, Yes indeed. I went down that track many times, in the back seat of whatever my dad was racing. I think I was about 7 years old. LOL ! ! No Kidding.

Re: Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

Man! Just rub it in. That's just plain cold!
If everything goes right you'll be old too some day. LOL

Re: Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

Ed -

Were you at the first Cajun Nationals held there? I remember the Jax beer trucks and the crawdads in 55-gallon barrels.

Re: Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

Did you happen to see this car there?

Re: Outten gallery question&southerland item
 

I thought I remembered the first Cajuns at Baton Rouge? I'm very old, and may not remember it correctly.

Troy, I don't remember that car. See above. :-)
