Don, I really feel terrible for what you went through, and are still going through. You never think about this kind of thing happening. I know exactly how you feel, and what you’re going through. Similar things happened to me in 2004 here in Florida. 4 hurricanes, one right after the other came through my area in a span of 1 1/2 months. Two trees down on my house and on both vehicles, major water damage, etc. We were able to buy a 5550 watt generator which helped us to power up some of the house and salvage all that we could. We had to rent a house for 13 months until the damage was repaired, basically a complete rebuild of the house from floors to the roof. I still have that generator, I wired it into the breaker panel, and it has come in very handy over the last 7 years. You owe it to yourself to have one, even if you never really need it again. Mine will run the whole house, including the central air and heat. The best part is that the price has only gone up $25.00 since 2004. From $625 to $650. Glad you and your family are OK. ………….Mikey 😆
Yeah…
My house got hit by three of those hurricanes that Mikey’s talking about. That’s another reason why I bailed out of Florida… enuff for me…!!!
Nope, I could’nt make that one, but the ’65 is blue and the ’64-1/2 is orange and both have C4 transmissions now.

DINO QUESTION . I GUY I KNOW HERE FROM STAMFORD ASKED ME ABOUT DUNE BUGGYS RACING AT DOVER ANY INPUT ? 😕 ARE THERE ANY ARCHIVED PHOTOS OR NAMES OR YOUR RECOLLECTION / REMEMBERANCES OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS V.W. DUBS DRAGRACING UP THERE ? THIS KIDS FATHER WAS LOU MARZULLO FROM STAMFORD CT. SAYS HE RACED AT DOVER WITH THIS KIND OF VEHICLE . FASTLANE . 😎
I will give you my 2 Cents worth. I remember only 1 VW Bug, it ran in either /MP, or /Gas. It’s the one that got airborne, and sailed over Billy Casey’s car at the end of the 1/4. I was working that day in the Time-slip Booth, and I can close my eyes and still see it coming our way. The other V-Dub that I remember was a fiberglass dune buggy body on a Bug chassis(so to speak) with a roll cage and a highly modified engine. It belonged to a friend of mine, Ed Burgess, who had a sign shop in New Windsor, N.Y. And there you have it! ………………Mikey 😆
A few month’s ago,I had asked about the whereabouts of Cy Vigulto,and his Willys P/U (Psyco Willys) ,seems he still is M.I.A.Last I remember,he put a big block in,and had overheating problems,that’s a while back! I thought for sure he’d be at the Dover 3 event,at the Valley,or at the Dover 50,at Big Al’s this year? But he wasn’t.Strange…and I hope he’s doing o.k.Anybody from the ODF hear from Cy lately ?
See post at 4th Annual Nostalgia drags…It’s “OFFICIAL”—Aug. 11&12 one week before last year.
This VERY intresting
Bobby HVY70SS how did you ever make out with your car? Did you run it anymore this year? Do you know Freddie at the “Crank Shop” I think he’s around your way in Montgomory.
Pat
Be leaving for Rhinebeck early tomorrow morning for 10 days of deer hunting (starts Saturday),so I’ll give my computer a break for awhile.Pat D. if you read this,don’t worry if you hear any shooting,it won’t be me,I’m about 8 miles from Red Hook,and using shotgun slugs.Seriously,I’m ‘very’ cautious,and safety minded,hunting the same area for 44 years now,with two good hunting buddies.V Bob,also ‘ready for action’ Saturday in Ct. Catch up with you ODF guys when I get back;meanwhile to ‘all’,a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Babycakes,
Good luck get a buck
Babycakes, I sold Cy a set of inner tubes for the slicks he wanted to use on the pick-up. We talked on the phone a little, and I really thought he’d be the 3rd Annual. I just don’t know what happened. …………Mikey 😮 😯 😕 😆
