Someone said there were 300 cars racing at The Valley today!!!
I was one of the paying customers but due to a toasted electric water pump in the staging lanes I was a spectator all day!
Thanks go out to V Bob Racings version of Austin Coil, Mike and Pete for the BIG hand helping to try and get the Vega down the track!!! OH,Brian and son Edward thanks for the help!
Hopefully there will be another race day for V Bob Racing !!!

babycakesMike and I were glad to be a helping hand to V Bob,and as disappointing and heartache it was to V Bob,he had the motivation and positive attitude to try and locate a replacement electric water pump (with no aval).The Vega was ready for bear! Looking and sounding GREAT! Still,all in all,it was a good show and turnout,nice to see Bob and Mike again,along with meeting Bob’s sister,and bro-in-law,and also seeing Brian M. and his son Edward.Bob’s words to me after all was said and done.oh well,’that’s racing’!

Hey, Pete. V-Bob was happy just to be there I’ll bet. I know just how he feels, after towing my car all the way to Island last year, from Florida. I had severe issues with the battery and electrical system, and could only get through one round before the car crapped out. I still had a great time, met some new friends, got to see old friends and acquaintances, won the Longest Distance Towed Award, and I could go on forever! Looking forward to seeing you guys in August. Bob, keep the faith, I want a couple of runs against you this year. ……………..Mikey 😆
vbobHEY
Mikey,thanks for the support!!!
A new water pump is on order and I’ll be looking for Papas Toy in the staging lanes in August!!
Oh,how are you doing on yours plans for the trip north in August?
I have a special ring of of kelbas agin the shed for Dino!

I’m 99% sure that I’ll be there. I just have not decided if I’m driving my Durango again, or maybe renting a small Motorhome. I’ll probably just drive my Durango again, it’s not great on gas, but it’s not a real “hog” either. I’ll just drive until I’m worn out, and stop in at a Hotel on the way up. Not sure when I’ll be leaving, I may get into Newburgh Thursday, visit some friends in the area, stay overnight, and head up to the Valley on Friday to a Hotel. Sure wish I could find someone to share the driving, gas, and Hotel room. No takers as of yet, but I’m hoping. Oh, I built another E85 carb as a back-up for mine, or I’ll loan it to someone if they want to try the E85. It’s cheap, and it works, don’t let anyone tell you different. ………..Mikey 😆
babycakesMikey,me and others are happy your coming;it wouldn’t be the same without you,believe me! As a ‘Willys’ nut,I can’t wait to see yours ‘tear up the track’ at Lebanon! Wishing you a ‘safe’ and enjoyable trip up,and hey,it’ll be here before you know it! For sure your “READY” this year!
dinoWeather report for Rockingham today….97 with heat index of 105 😯
patinaI tried “new topics” but that didn’t work; OK I need a “Original Dover Race Car” or accurate clone for a “Dover Drag Strip” display at the Rhinebeck antique motorcycle show. It is at the Rhinebeck fairgrounds on June 10,11,12. I know its short notice. The car will only be for display inside a building, the MG will be there and Brian Marasco will be setting up a table with “Dover Memorabilia” I need to know immediately if not sooner. Call me at 845-758-8756 ASAP or sooner.

patinaVB it won’t be there, I’m involved with this Antique Museum and Machinery show that is held in conjunction with the vintage MC show. They asked to have a display of Dover stuff, Brian and I said sure, didn’t realize Capitol Area show was same weekend. Can you give me Roger (bad news) number maybe he would do it.

Pat, you might even give Pat Hennebery a call. I heard that he was putting the SIX FIEND back together, and right next door to him is the Vignogna shop, might be something there, he might still have the BEHEMOTH wagon there.

It took me this long to get back online.
I met the former mayor of the town where I’m living now. My old friend from Yonkers and also Halstead took me there for a little BBQ… The old guy still has his Model-A coupe, no fenders and a massive 350 Chevy bolted to a 6-speed transmission and a 5.27:1 rear, in red primer with those cool Hallibrand five spoke wheels. He’s had that since he was a kid…!
Just like the Tomato Head… I got agriculture going on in my back yard…! The lady who owned the house that I just bought must have had a deal with her farming neighbor to cultivate her ( now my ) property. I got Rye Wheat, apples, peaches, dates and grapes going on here and I love it…! I told him that whatever arangement he had with her will continue with me. Beyond my property line he has a lot more stuff like corn and whetever else you can imagine.
I really like it here…
Attn: Dino..We’re almost neighbors now. Keep me posted about any worthwhile Rockingham activities and anything else that I should check out… Okay…?
