Myron, I traded the wagon to some guys in southern indiana. Hostettler and Ingersol. They painted it silver and ran for a while. Then it went to Indy I believe and was Green. The guy in Indy would never tell me where it went. I'd Like to get it back but cant find it....Any ideas where it is ? you are in the area.....Will try to scan my photos in....

Jack, that would have been the 1973 Little Guy Nationals. I got by Dick in about the 3rd round and went on to win the event. Ran a C/S AMX in the final. Dick was one of my heros. I recall calling him in 1962, with a lot of questions, when I got my first Corvair. Dick won J/S at the 1964 Nationals with a turbocharged Corvair Convertible. In private life I believe he was a Corporate pilot (hence the turbo charging knowledge).

I knew Joe D. very briefly and will never forget him hitching a ride to MIR with Jimmy Lovallo and myself. I had alot of questions for him that night and he had the answers and some amazing stories too. I sat and listened for hours. He was a great and gracious guy and I was lucky to meet him. He gets my vote.

Tom Sheehan,

Thanks a bunch for posting that picture of my nemesis, John Archambault's sedan delivery. Anybody who thinks getting one of those quasi-wagons to hook, with 17.4:1 overall first gear multiplication should try it... on 7" tires, BTW.

I read somewhere that he was a high school physics teacher. I can believe it.

Too bad he's not on this board... maybe he'd share some of thos speed secrets, now, 40 years later...

Loved that name (HYDROPHOBIA.) Wanted to call our car "Hydro-Magic", but never got around to getting it painted.

Thanks again, Tom... That was a cool thing to do.... You made an old man smile!!!

1664SS/JA,
Great pictures. I use to read about Joe in some of those old obscure east coast magazines. Would love to have a larger scan of the 57 hardtop pic.
Thanks,
Bob Rice

1664---- Had plenty of good times with Joe D. The best, 1972 World Finals, Amarillo,Texas

Mark, Thanks for posting those pics of The Moon . Joe was one of a kind and I'm very fortunate to have had him as a friend and team mate. There wasn't much that he didn't know about Chevrolets. If he didn't know the answer to a problem, he'd go right to work at it until it was solved.
I'm sure you know , Joe Moon engineered the clutch linkage in that Chevy II you have. He used a Camaro 9 o'clock bellhousing and a narrowed Camaro cross shaft and figured out all the pivot points until it worked just like the factory setup. Duffy actually sold those kits for a while.
It was a sad day for alot of us, when Joe left us . He was quite a character .
It's great to see that Amarillo picture again. I won't name all the characters in that one . Wouldn't want to ruin anybody's reputation. The number of people in the photo (9) has a significance to another part of the story that weekend. Maybe later....
Thanks again for posting

Nope - had a M/s 57 Chevy back in 69-70 - then a F/S 72 Camaro in 72 - now my son and I race in Super Comp.
