Not only did I eat with them but I cooked for them. It was one of the most awesome dinners I have had in my 41 years. I will post pics as we took plenty of them. And Jeff there is a book called the Ramchargers that is awesome and details alot of what they did. Tom Hoover who not only designed the Hemi he designed the first fuel injection Chrysler used in 1955.
They will be at Piedmont Dragway tomorrow for a Super Stock Reunion. |

What an awesome opportunity!
Did you ask them about the time they got caught with slicks full of water? Btw I met Herb Sr once and told him I was looking for a Max Wedge block and 4 months later I got a call from Larry Hill saying that he had a block for sale. It was nice for someone of his reputation to take the time to help out a nobody like me. Nice guy! JimR

Dinner with real drag racing legends... How COOL IS THAT??? VERRRRRRY COOL!!!!
Looking forward to pictures and any comments you care to pass on. That is awesome! I keep looking st that 49 plymouth sitting in the corner of one of our shops, that we were going to turn into a High and Mighty clone, and thinking we need to finish that thing one of these days...

It was a good dinner that's for sure. I laughed at the story of the 67 funny car. They could never figure out how much boost they were running. Had a 35lb gauge in the car, but they never got a read on it. They kept putting people in the passenger seat in an attempt to read it while going down the track. They were unsuccessful as everyone was scared out of their mind. They were supposed to be running around 20lbs, the run before they blew the motor, they realized it had the gauge pegged at 35. They made 79 passes before it blew. Running 7.90's at 190+.
I want to know who was willing to sit in the passenger side of a 7 second car in 1967 in an attempt to read a boost gauge. These guys are all super nice and super intelligent. Most of them have forgot more than racers today will ever know. Their memories are rock solid. |
