Von Esser tribute car back on track
For those interested we will have our 54 Carrera car back on track this weekend at the HAWK vintage races. We took it to Sebring in March and fixed a few problems on it's second maiden voyage. Here are a few black and whites.

On Saturday Bill Von Esser Jr. will be with us in the pits. I am sure he will answer questions about the original car. One thing I found out when building the car was the original did not throw a rod as rumor has it. They broke the valve train and ended finding another in a school bus but by then it was too late to continue so they drove it home.
If you are at RA this weekend stop by. #12 will also be in town for the Friday night car show.

I saw the car when it was at Sebring. I love the wire wheels.
