You know what…?!
I fell out of the whole drag racing scene at the end of the 1964 season. I didn’t get back into it until ESPN started televising NHRA on the wide screen of the sports bar where I hang out in Miami.
I’m shocked,I tell you shocked. Maso hanging out in a Bar. 😀 😀
Well hell, if I knew that, I would have found a bar by the hotel at Island. Had a few beers with Brian at Ruby Tuesdays, but they threw us out before we could “over beverage”. 😮 😯 😆 😆 😆
Wonder if “Doc” ever popped in ol Sam’s after a day a Dover ? If I remember he was a tea-totaler …except for what he put in the tank of the Arrow to feed those Hilborns.
Now I’m a Bowtie fan all the way but I DID have a huge thing for the Black Arrow…..I woke up to see a pic of one of my favorite cars this morning and it made my day……….(I did not want Storm King to know about my closet love for a few Mopars) 😆 😆 😆 ……..Great shot Dino!!!!! 😀 😀 😀

Maso didn’t it just start 😆 😆 😆 Where you racing chariots in the colosium with Nero 🙄 🙄 🙄

I said “Drag Racing” not Round Track”.
Oiy! Dino; Doc bought the car from Bud Faubel (“Honker”) not Stiles.
Doc had Stiles build the motors when he left Jenkins, which was probably in ’66.
Jenkins never owned the car, he just drove it when Doc’s DVM practice kept him too busy to travel to events.
Faubel right…SO much info here …gets even ME confused….By the way …We have NEW slides converted and coming my way from Brian showing the Storm King running The Black Arrow !
That’s great, Bill will love that. We wiped a cam that weekend. We were going to have a two out of three with Doc, but we broke. Very, very unusual for us.
