I always thought he was a good guy. Did he tell you he towed the heavy old SD wagon with a 1963 409/340 HP Impala with a P/G ? I bet that trans...
Cool.....Let me know if I can help. I knew a lot of Jr. stock racers in Md. from that time. Mostly guys like Gene Collins, Bob Maxey, Joe Perzan....
Have you joined the NEW Jr. Stock site yet and how is the Jr. stock book coming? Terry
Can't build one of these on a budget anymore. The collector whore's have all but ended that deal.
LOL...........on the Crager's:D
Anyone interested send a Pvt. email to Colesy or Chuck Norton for a great new Jr. stock site address. We are allowed posts on newer cars and S/S...
Check in with Colsey or Chuck Norton at the end of July. Better things ahead.:)
X's 2 on that.

From the sound of it the problem it is either the air valve spring tension or the fuel vent on top of the carb is to short or both. It dosent...
I used the J.C. Penny A/FX slicks (7 inch ) and M/T headers (early non scavenger type) on my 65 Street Wedge Plymouth and Gebler Headers with...
Did you extend the carb vet tube with some fuel line hose or some other tubing? :confused: The Q Jets were bad for sloshing gas out of the vent...
That picture looks like Capitol Raceway. Capitol hasn't changed much in a very long time.
Isnt that black Plymouth a 1960 ? Look at the front fender crease coming down from the headlights.
I remember "Factory Stock" (showroom) run at Aquasco, Capitol and Cecil County in Md. in the early 60's up until around 1968 or 69 and they had a...

Nice Corvette !
It might have been 67???? It was a long time ago but I do know he would have been out run if he had not neutral started it. That Jenkins powered...
Heh Heh thats how my late friend Gene Collins won C/SA at the Nationals in INDY back in 1966. The starter (Buster) was watching the Super Stockers...
Since you have a 4:10 gear I would use a shorter tire. Not a 26 inch. The bias ply 30 inch tire is growing way to much. The radials do not grow...

Lucky you. I wished I had moved to N.C. as this Florida living kind of sucks. I live in an HOA gated community that I call the "Land of the Living...
Which track do you race at here in Fl. ? Let me know ahead of time when you are going again and I will try to come by and BS with you.
Or a mild one that I can do BOTH with when the urge strikes. :D Lots of driving with some bracket racing thrown in on occasion. Probably just a...
I have been re-reading this Jr, stock site and Im on page 253 now. Great stuff and forgot about some of the great posts. It makes me want to build...
I remember seeing a lot of 8:00/8:50 X 14 inch slicks back in the early days and mid 60's. M&H brand and Caslers early on. Even on higher HP cars....
