SS/B Record - Page 2

Watch is the word. All these cars mentioned are planning on racing at Bowling Green TOP/SS meet Memorial day week end. With the long Week end this would make a great SHOW to see in person not just read about on the web. TOP/SS and TOP/STK run time trials Saturday AM and race till done Saturday afternoon evening.... What a great track to watch SS and Stk heads up racing.... Pizza Joe with a SS/BA Hemi is coming from Florida, and hoping to get Dave Thomas vette as well as ARTS vettes to run also. Ray Paquets Fairlane and AH Adkins will make this the best field yet... Hope to see you there in person.....

Great looking car. He sure did his homework first before debuting.

Chris1529 · 05-08-2008, 07:37 AM

does anyone know who built his engine?

Dick Butler · 05-08-2008, 07:56 AM

Thanks to Paul for his support of TOP/SS. He is wearing his shirt in the winners circle and pictures of the car. We will see the first Heads up race at Bowling Green TOP/SS May 24, 25. This makes 3 Thunderbolts actively running. Matt Dahl out west and RAY PAQUET also here in Division 3.

Tim Davis in Indianapolis is the engine builder. He can be reached at Tim Davis Racing 317-244-8370

Read about Tim at:

http://www.popularhotrodding.com/eng...als/index.html

Both Paul Adams and Tim Davis are former champions over in the fast street car groups (NMCA and NSCA). The racing there was all heads up. Kinda like...go fast or go home. A few years ago Tim ran his fast street car in Comp at the Indy Fall Classic. After a run he would drive his car to the scales and then back to the pits. Thing was he made it several rounds in eliminations. Had the Comp guys scratching there heads. Yes we pumped his engine and it was legal for the class.

Best looking Tbolt I've seen but I have a couple questions. The carb pan seems to be a fab item and I thought SS required the original baseplate or nothing. The Tbolts came with an airbox. Can pans be built for any fresh air cars and dzused on in a similar manor? Also the teardrop seems to be 1 - 1 1/2 inch taller above the opening than original. That would be hard to police since I don't know of a spec on the height.
Again, great looking car as well as killer fast for as new as it is.
