Jim,
Did you see the article in the July, 2011 issue [I just received it last week] of "Vette" magazine there is a article in it about Mike Walsh 's 1959 Vette race car , as you know he is from Shohola Falls ,Pa. . The article is on page 45.
I showed your friend Gary the article at the cruise nite in Hackettstown last tues.
We need an article about your car in the Mag.!!!!!!

Here is a car that Joel Miller is restoring. Its the Deloy Naeb '58 Corvette the "Pooch". It was the 1966 NHRA World Champion Street Eliminator. It held multiple NHRA class records. You can see the Tulsa round timing tower in the Moon Ad.

Regards.

What brand and model wheels are those? They look like hubcaps.

I did not see the article on Mike's vette. I knew about it through Mike, a long time back. Good for Mike.

If anyone wants to put my car and other classic Corvette racers in a magazine, they should show up at one of the "North Jersey Outlaws" race, which only runs Solid Axle Vettes. The only one in the country of that format. Mike is an active member and runs really fast in his 62.

Maybe it was inspired by the "Jenkins Automotive" '56 or '57 at about 2:13? You can take just about anything too far.

Here is another one. Just turn the music off. It was originally done to Flirting with disaster, but You Tube changed it.





Some more current cars with quite a few forum members cars that are still getting it done today.




Road Race Corvettes.
