Re: Southeast Gassers
And a follow up..
Northeast Speed was owned, silent partner, by Bill Rubin. The Rubin Glass Company was $$$$$$$$$$$ in Albany, NY. They had one of a handful of lightweight Mopar hemis made when they first came out, for special drag racing... 1965??? Jack had the engine apart and the guys bet me that I couldn't pick the head up overhead. I grabbed the head with a 100 pound snatch and nearly put it through the ceiling! Weighed nothing! Everybody got a good laugh on me, the 'college' kid. I used to ride a bike over there 'cause I didn't have a driver's license until I was 21. I DID run trains, 10,000 tons and 3 engines, starting when I was 14, though. My best friend, Billy, on the left in my avitar, was from a railroad family... we rode trains everywhere.

Re: Southeast Gassers
In their latest race it seems that the southeast gassers are going for the tubbed look... several new cars with the slicks hidden. In the day, guys like the the 'engineers' would get the 9" slicks out of the wind as much as possible - most cars still needed a radius to do it, though. We had a 64 Chevy II (Nova) for a family car and believe me, a 9" slick ain't gonna fit back there.
Skip Hess and Ralph Ridgeway got the wheels up with A frames... like your Mopar guy. Skip with a spacer under the the front crossmember on his 62 vette and Ralph with ball joint spacers and 90/10 shocks on his 55. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. |
