There ya go Bob, something to look forward to, in a few more months!!! I understand Jacksonville Florida may get hit with some cool weather and snow tomorrow? Now I don’t feel so bad up here in Yankee territory! Also curious to find out if Pat D. ( ‘Baby Torque’) been hitting the slopes with his skii’s to brave the elements, or waiting for above zero temps.? 🙄 Pete.

V-Bob…

I see your fishing rod there in the picture stuck in the sand… Did you catch anything…?

You MUST drop into the museum at Ocala… you’ll be glad you did. There is one DDS car there, John Fico’s purple “Road Knights” A/D with the Scotty Fenn K-88 chassis and the MoPar 413 ci wedge with the factory intake manifold. Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing… Excellent.

Also… See if there’s anything shakin’ at the historic Desoto Speedway at Bradenton, they put on some fine events in the winter months. The West Palm Beach Dragway is also worthwhile. They have spent a lot of money there for improvements… Top notch track if they only had a better laid out pit area.

If you’re still there in March, Gatornationals up in Gainsville… Go for it. That’s where Kenny Burnstein clocked the first 300 mph run.

ATTENTION Just a quick update for anyone who ever dragraced cars or motorcycle whatever at atco raceway / dragway in south jersey back in the day. Legendary Track owner Big Joe Sway Sr. Has Passed Away Over The Weekend R.I.P. 😥

I just got the sad and ‘heartbreaking’ news. Jack Merkel, a living ‘gasser’ legend, passed away yesterday Sunday! For those who knew him, he was like a ‘mentor’ if you were involved running a Willys gasser, back in the day! I myself, respected him, having such mechanical skills, always a step above others in his competition gasser classes! May he rest in peace Jack, you will not be forgotten!…Pete.

So sad to hear about the passing of Jack Merkel. I first met him in the early ’70’s when he was working for S/K Speed in Long Island. He did all my motor work right up until he closed his shop on the island. Glad I got to see him get inducted to the Hall of Fame @ the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion In Epping a few years ago. RIP Jack…you were the best!!
