That roadster was Russ Kelly's. Chassis built by Ron Bolz.

A little update, Chuck Cerveny of C&S fame is still alive and well. The C&S came from Cerveny and Warren Schehe sp? He still works on engines and transmissions for some guys. Yes he was very sharp on all things automotive, especially flatheads and Rochester fuel injections. The bronze Angelia was the Hahn Brothers car. Mike Hahn owns Herman Engraving in Omaha and is doing well. The Anglia went thru a bunch of owners, Bill Woods, Tom Grasso, Gregg Newstrom to name a few. I'm not sure who has it now but Tom Grasso would know or Mike Daly.

Tony Beam of Denision has had the car for the better part of 10 year's. however he only found out about the history of his car a short time ago. He was in the process of restoring the car to stock condition but he has shifted direction and the car will be restored to as raced in the late 60s. Great news TENSION will be at Old Geezers show & go next weekend. It will not be finished but will be in the show. Also got to chat with the owner of Inbomber 57, he might be interested in bringing back the car for next years Geezers, This would be awesome to see both cars go down the track side by side

TENSION will be on display at the World of Wheels this March

Does anyone happen to have any engine bay shots of this car? I recently acquired a Hilborn Injector that was sold to Performance Sales in Omaha according to the Hilborn build sheet. I believe this unit may have originally been on that Anglia (notes show for a 302ci engine w/ 4 speed). It was later used on a Front Engine Dragster of Herb Shelton / Jim Hicks. Looking for any info and especially pictures if anyone has any.

The Anglia pictured from this post is now our car. We learned that it was owned by a guy named Maun. It was blue and said Maun & Stroud on the door, had a injected SBF in it. He got us up to speed on his old car a year or two back. Having problems loading a picture on here for some reason. Ran up at Thunder Valley alot.

Does anyone remember a really nice 71 or 72 white Vega that ran E/Gas owned by Harold Babcock, Chrisman and Gigot? It had little Chevy bow ties all over it. They were out of the Kansas City area. I can’t find anything on the inter webs about them. I also remember Lee Shephard and Buddy Morrison ran the points meet in ‘73 at Cornhusker in their Maverick. They spent about 2 hours telling me exactly how to build the engine for my E/MP Camaro. Wonderful guys.

I think Mike Ceroneowns it now. He’s had it for years. It’s a street car now and has a Chevy in it.

Pretty sure the Mustang is Jay Dabney. That is a 69 Boss 302. It had very few miles and was turned into a drag car. Jay bought it new. His brother Max has it. Jay passed away a couple of years ago.

Sad news, Both Rich Mlnarik and Chuck Cerveny passed last week. Mike Daly told me Rich from Cancer at 75 and Chuck from Covid at 83.
