New Mustang Sights

[Chuck Norton]

Attached are several pictures taken today to clarify any mistaken assumptions from yesterday's line-up. As per usual, some of my assumptions were totally erroneous but then, if there weren't a few such moments in any given week, life would be boring. The four primary cars are now lettered and numbered. The nostalgia-themed dealership names and logos match some of the 1968 Cobra Jet introductions. The SS/EA lettering that appeared on the car that Jim Waldo will be driving has been covered. The additional photographs show an engine compartment that was opened to display the supercharger and other basic components. The photo titled "Virgin ride" is of yet another car, one of two delivered by truck to the track today, this one to be the personal property of John Calvert. Pit-talk assigned the other new arrival to Chris Whitney and Robert Pond.

With a little over twelve hours to go, the interest level in the new iron remains very high.

Several long-distance players appeared today. I had a chance to speak with Lloyd Mac Kay, John Shaul, Al Corda, and Wayne Totaro. I saw the cars of Byron Worner and Billy Leber but did not have a chance to talk with either of them. Alex and Tony Denysenko showed up last weekend in Las Vegas and I saw Alex in Pomona again today.

By 4 PM, signs of the threatened bad weather began to appear from over the Pacific. With some luck, we'll get a couple of hits tomorrow but the next couple of days after that could be problematic. You'll know as soon as the rest of us.
