Hey Guys, Mike L. and myself visited with Paul Bayarinas today. He injured himself when a ladder
kicked out on him while he was working on his house. Messed up his knee pretty good. Paul is
always a fun person to spend time with. His interest has drifted from his race car and onto his
latest purchase, a 24 ft sail boat. He did open the garage to show us the retired Willys aka
the “Lithuanian Locomotive”. It was kind of bitter / sweet seeing the Willys….. 😮
Frank… 😎
I’m off to Jack Merkel’s with the parts for a new motor for the MG. A flat top piston 327″ motor, nothing wrong with the old John Gunn built 355″ in fact it ran too good. We have to slow the car down some so this is what I decided. The 355″ motor is for sale less Hilborn and magneto, $3500. runs 10.60’s easily in 2260# car. Would go nice in Paul’s Willys!

Seeing these depressing photos of Paul B’s ’34’ Willys AA/GS, really saddens me,and I’m sure there’s a line behind me,thinking the same! As I hear say,Paul had a goal in mind,all along,that ‘magic’ 8 second, e.t.and he accomplished it! You don’t have to convince me how much $$$$ it costs to run a big block ‘blown’ motor,and being a retired married man, I’m sure it put a big dent in his wallet,just for the upkeep,and maintainence, of the 8 second beast!!! So…..’mission accomplished’…Paul’s very happy with that,with all the blood-sweat-and tears he put into it. And now it’s ‘break’ time,for him and,his wonderful wife Linda,to do some ‘overdue’ R&R, for whatever they choose to do; they earned it!!! Guys, ‘it is what it is’,and maybe someday Paul may decide to run his ‘beautiful’ Willys again! ❓ ❓ ❓ ❓ Mr.Pete.
Me Too…But the increased costs of keeping up with NHRA’s constant yearly safety upgrades has to be entered into the equation…Paul said it was a LOT of money just to pass tech.
Ok ….Time for a laugh…If you remember the original, filmed close to Dover. ..Dirty Dancing : In the summer of 1963, 17 year-old Frances “Baby” Houseman (Jennifer Grey) is vacationing with her affluent family at Kellerman’s, a resort in the Catskill Mountains.
