Mike & Herb, Jr.

Sorry we did not meet up with you guys yesterday. We saw your dad and grandson. It is always a good time when all of us old racers get together at Piedmont. There was alot of racing history visiting under the Ramcharger's tent, all day yesterday.

I was there with my son and the Jr Dragster making two runs before going to Roxboro. We actually should have made one more as we broke the clutch on the last time run. We fixed it and made it to the Semi Finals before losing on a staging malfunction. The funny is Ted Spahr the father of the Motown Missle was there, we talked for 30 minutes and that guy is amazing with his knowledge and the stuff they did back 40 years ago. Just looking at that Jr Dragster you could see his "wheels turning" he referred to something they did in 63 on a road race project to the exhaust that he figured would make those cars run faster. My dad said back in 71-72 Ted made more power than anyone with a Hemi Pro Stocker but Chrysler paid them to run a Clutchflight instead of a 4 speed.

Its amazing the history these guys have.

I think that that is very cool. To talk to and here all the stories they have is totaly a once in a life time opertunity. a few years back I became good friends with one of them(Dan Mancini) before he passed away. He brought a car to my shop to be rebuilt and we became good friends. He would stop in just about every day.
Well I hope that you had a great time.
