        I got these from a fellow motor head at Marcus last night,
        not sure of the yr, but has a lot of memory here,
        not sure if Bruce remembers me I worked at Mahopac Dodge, rte 6,
        I had the plumb crazy T/A, Pete Improta worked there also, what a fun shop,
        a lot of KILLER cars went through there when it was graduation time for West Point,
        the cadets go the cars at almost cost, quite a few Hemi & R/T 440 6 pak challangers,
        plus 340 demons.

        enjoy
        Bobby Schlegel,

            CAN YOU SAY HEMI POWERED 😉

            (I have a personal invite to this motorheads
            STASH ROOM to digitize and copy his stuff,
            I MIGHT?? be able to get some stuff for Grover & Smoky
            to have at the reunion, NO GUARANTEES)
            he was serious about releasing anything I work with.

                Yes, Bob I remember you at Mahopac Dodge. I have the roadster in the Garage, it is 500 miles short of a hundred thousand miles. We drove it to the Artic Circle in Alaska on ’07 on the Dalton Hwy. (Ice Road Truckers). I have an new 8-71 blown, Indy Cylinder headed 426 ready to go in it this fall. There are two blown Chevys running around here that need to be beatin’ ! Have a good time and stay safe……Bruce

                                            Has anybody heard from Bruce Hertel lately…?

                                            He used to send me a lot of e-mail, and then it stopped and I haven’t heard from him in months.

                                            Is he okay…? anybody know…?

                                                    Bruce is on the Forum username: hemihead you can E-mail or PM him …..bet ya didn’t know he ran Indy Nationals in 68 with his “Dodge Boys’ dragster?. Car had a 426 Hemi & a 727 3-speed automatic with a starter,,,Ran 8.60 at 170. THEN there’s his 200 mph Bonneville adventures. Bruce’s Chrysler LeBaron, Bonneville Salts Flats racer, is now in the new Chrysler Museum. He made several 200-205 runs, leading up to the records set in 1992-1994. (“G” Production Supercharged (G/PS) at 196.8mph. Might call him and rattle his cage.

                                                        I was his partner in the Dodge Boys dragster and worked with him at Dodge for 10 years & even though he lives in Oregon we still keep in touch.
