19 Tuckahoe Rd

Okay… that must’ve been at the Saw Mill River Road end of Tuckahoe Rd. There are some industrial buildings up that way.

Yes. It was about three building east of Saw Mill River Rd. on Tuckahoe Rd. north side.. Freds Speed Shop also had sign Home Fuel Oil which was Freds, his son Fred Jr. still is running Home Fuel. The building that was Freds Speed Shop is now a parking lot. There was a garage door and a store front facing Tuckhoe Rd. in the rear there was another garage door that led to next street that paralleled Tucahoe Rd it had a long driveway that was the perfect place to practice hole shots.

Hey guys, I’m making this post on John Shimer’s behalf. John would like to
thank Lee Valentine for all his help and direction with John’s 355 ci engine
that was installed by Donnie Carroll earlier this season. With all of Lee’s advice
and direction, John has bettered his et by .28 from his first outing. Yesterday,
at Lebanon Valley with Lee there, John ran his quickest et of 12.62 @ 103 mph. 😮
As John said about Lee’s advice, ” You can’t beat experience ” ❗ When everything
is said and done, the Dover guys are family and always help each other. .Thanks again Lee. 😛

Frank… 😎

I haven’t heard from Bruce Hertel in a very long time…
He is usually good about staying in touch.
Does anybody know if he is okay…?

HEY

Thank you Dino for doing such a fine job with this years Dover Drag Strip Race!!
The race is like a fine aged 7 year old wine!
Getting better as the years go by!!
Looking forward to #8!Without Dino this event would not be!!
OH, thanks to all that stopped by and said HI!!!!
Had new hood issues that need to be sorted out so had to lift at 1/2 track in the 2nd round!
A couple more 1/4 turns should do the trick for Epping!!
Thanks to all my friends who helped over the weekend!
LOVE you all!
Congrats to my crew chief Mike Leroux for winning in the car show with his dark blue 55!! ‘V’

HEY

OK ,I guess I’ll be the one to say it!

DINO, seeing the average age of an ODF is 99 years old howbout having the LUCKY FLYIN 8th DOVER DRAG STRIP RACE at least a month later in the season!
Like the end of September 2016!!!!Not the hottest time of the year!!!

I 100% agree with Bob! Dino….Do your ‘magic’,and see if somehow you can change Dover ‘8’ to late Sept. Believe me,when standing in the staging lanes (especially if the track shuts down for awhile,like an engine blew) in close to 90 degree temps, it certainly effects us ole farts,draining you out damned near completely! Unfortunately,we’re not as ‘young’ as we use to be,and makes ya ‘miserable’!!! Please try your best,I’m sure many other ODF’s feel the same way! Pete.

OK ….. I’m back at my shop.Just unloaded the rental van and peeled all the decals off.(anybody get a shot of it? all ‘pimped’ up thanks to Louie at Economy Signs) .Some quick Dino’s “Bits From The pits” All can say is: Over all…Total Success Car! count up (I’ll have all the figures later-Plus Sue at the track is running off all the race results for me).Car Show with the Dead End Cruisers flawlees operation…I Let them do all the judging…they ran it perfect AND highest car count ever since we’ve been at Lebanon. DRAG ALLEY was just Kool… Chevamoco Great. Blown Hearse-Moroso-Hellzappopin-Red Alert …Opps if I start naming everything I’ll be here all day. Stop…. Now were was I —-Oh….. BIG SHOUT OUT and a tip of the Dover Hat TO ALL OUR SPONSORS-Lisa Bobby-Richie …they make it happen and I couldn’t pull it off without their help & Support. So Many behind the scenes people …I’ll post all that when my body catches up to my brian (4 hours driving Sunday Night & TEN hours Mon.)………………………………………………………………………………… NOW Don’t carve this in Granite…already conferenced call with Wayne ….there Is a ‘possibilty’ that we ‘might’ be able to move the party to Sept. a lot has to be adjusted and his NHRA schedule at Lebanon is being added to/moved around and things are up in the air with other annual events, at his track And Epping. All I can say is he’s all for it and will work on our behalf to try to make it happen.( He And Howie Like the Event-that puts us in the front of the picking line )….he does have to approve things with different people. But the Talk has begun and we “seem” to be in good position to ‘bounce’ something else to make room for us. Lets just say with five great years, we have preference and ‘clout’ now. ,…………….Dumb rumor I picked up…This is the last one -NO Plan now for the 8th annual ! With more fine tuning and ‘stuff’..Getting very nice thank you calls and thanks for all the photos ! back to unloading and sorting everything dumped on the garage floor….More later.

Outside of normal breakage on the track, the racing went like clockwork. Can’t wait till next year…let the planning begin. Excellent job Dino!!
