                Welcome aboard Bryan! I’m a ‘Willys’ gasser nut and love seeing them run.I remember a ‘few’ years back,you and “Tiny” Eglit ,who had his ‘steel’55 Chevy AA/GS ,match race against you at Lebanon Valley.You guys ‘stole’ the show between the terrific ‘long’ burnouts;blasting the 1/4 mile,and the sound of power,going through the shutdown area.It doesn’t get any better!!! Just think how ‘big’ this “Dover’ 50th at the ‘Valley’ is gonna be;it’ll make east coast drag racing history;and my friend you get to be part of what was,and still is going strong today “DOVER DRAGSTRIP ” dedication.

                    Hey Bryan,
                    Welcome aboard!! We met at Island when I was setting up the “match race” with you and Paul’s ’33 Willys. In fact, one of the runs that day is on YouTube. Your car is always a crowd pleaser. Dino and I are looking forward to seeing you guys at the 3rd Dover Drags at LV. I’ll probably see you in the lanes before that @ LV with my Chevelle. Take care,

                    Bob “Smitty” Smith

                                    Bryan, welcome to the Forum, beautiful car, and fast too. I’ve got one too, but just a little small block and one carb. Would that Tiny Malcome possibly be Bill Malcome?? I used to work with a guy in Newburgh with that name. Had a brother named Gary. Bought a friend of mine’s old dirt track car. Rob Green. Dad was Bobby Green. If so, it’s a small world.

                                            thanks for the welcomes everybody.. Babycakes i do remember racing Tiny Eglits 55 Chevy “Hellfire” plenty of times, wish he could blow the dust off that thing and come back out to race.. your right, theres nothing like 2 blower cars blasting down the 1/4 mile 😎

                                            Mikey, Yes, that is the same Tiny aka Bill Malcome, he has told me plenty of stories about Dirt track Racing with Robbie Green and also Jeff Hoeztler who he used to crew for also.. so it IS a small world, Tiny has told me stories of Dover as he use to go there as a kid to help a guy crew.. i forget who he helped, ill have to ask him
                                            Man, i hope we clear up some confusion with the 2 Tinys talked about on this board, i mean How many Tinys are there? they’re all small guys too right? lol

                                            Dino, i remember you from the Sycamore Drive Inn, and your involvement over there and different car shows in the area, I use to go to the Sycamore all the time in the early 80’s with my Blown 68 Camaro and even have some pics from there..
                                            Miss all those good times for sure..
                                            Here is a pic of my(former) 355″ Blown 68 Camaro, this here pic is from 1983

                                                            Bryan, tell Tiny that “Spanky” said hello! I helped Rob Green and his dad build Robs first dirt car, and I used to build his and his Dads motors. Tiny was, and I’m sure, still is, a really good guy, and a good wrench too. That first race car was the one his brother bought. It will be nice to see him if you guys go to the Valley. Rob might show up too, just to visit and see my car. Take care. I’m posting a couple of pics of my Willy’s. In the one showing the engine, you might notice that the carb fuel bowl is Green, and is a 2bbl. It’s an E85 carb that belongs to a friend. I wanted to try the 2bbl just for the heck of it. It ran 6.56 in the 1/8th at 101.778. …………Mikey 😆

                                                                Do any of you guys know anything about that other red Willys that was there on Saturday. Bob Lagana Sr. was working on it…?
