Yes we did some crazy things back then. I stood in front of a cop car (with lights and sirens) one time so we could get the race off. They were actually pushing me with there bumper.

I made it a habit not to be around when that car was out. Never had to explain things that way. We knew what we needed to beat the car, and knew there was no way we were going to get it. My partner Ray (Tex) Cook was partners with George Elliot (Hemi guy) before I was partners with Tex. And they donated to the Elliot Wakem cause a few times.

Ah, ok. I thought it was Ray that had the gas station right at the Bayonne Bridge after I read the caption for this photo (I think Norman Blake wrote the captions - do you and Ray know Norman well?):
![]() What year was this photo taken, Art? Also, can you tell me some specs on it? Whatever happened to it? It looks like it definitely was a street king! ![]() |

Hey Ed
I supplied the photos and the right info to the Editor, he decied to use it in his own way. He is the one who screwed up the info,not me. No one's names were suppose to be spcifically mentioned either. I was pretty miffed when this came out. Art, you should tell them the whole story about that night in Staten Island with the Nova and how it ended for everyone involved. Remember Ray passing the cops. Also the other one about Froggys car on the Trailer out at 150th Street and Tex looking for his dog! They should all get a kick out of that one,LOL!! ![]() Last edited by Norman Blake; 01-29-2010 at 03:43 PM. |
