Brian Hit a Giant Car Show in Kingston today…Had his GTO on display.Home runs all around …plenty of Dover Guys-Great Car club connections And Get This….He thinks he’s FOUND THE ORIGINAL Christmas TREE ! -Really ! …he’s heading out to see it tomorrow.
More day by day the old tree is said to be in my area at a old shop also some new stuff coming to the forum 1975-76 i am waiting on a call to see bike drag photo’s from 75. Dover shirts going like hot cakes at weekend car shows too !! Brian M
Brian called me the other day, said he found some pics of the Datsun truck I ran in P/Stock. Ran the truck 19 times, won 18 trophies. Snapped off the shifter the 4th time I raced it. I had a lot of fun with that truck. Took it to the 73 Summer Nationals, and they would not let me run it. Said there was no such truck in the books, only a B-210 car. I could have smoked them, that thing would run almost a full second under the record at that time. Oh well. ………Mikey 😆
Today was cool… hung with George Olszewski of ”Hawthorne” Auto Parts. At same location over 40 years .He had many cars run out of his place and personal cars. George’s pictures coming soon to the site.He was there right up to the last day, he said he even sold his car when Dover closed.He didn’t want to run anywhere else.They have a lot of speed parts, more than I have seen in a long time .I’m going back soon .
