Description
I am trying to save some pictures of when I was involved with a race team. I am first to say the quality sucks.
during the 60's a friend had a 50 Ford pickup with a 48 Cadillac V-8. it was a blast to drive. some teenagers in a 56 Ford Vic was trying to get him to race, so when the light turned green he hit it and out ran them easily. at the next light they asked him "what you got in there mister?" he replied only a heavy foot
the engine was a 302 Chevy bored out to 330 cubic inches. it would do 195 mph on the straightaways. Nascar cars were doing 212mph then. when it would be in the pit between races I would clean the windows and polish the car. the driver Jimmy Finger wanted every edge he could get
the co-owner was the Vice-President of the company I was working for
once I was asked to transport 55 gallons of 130 octane fuel to Austin at the drivers body shop. I was nervous but I did it. at least I did not have to unload it
