  2. Wow, I'm envious! Sounds like too much fun! As you know, progress pics are compulsory! Enjoy the project(s).
  3. What a great history lesson on the little cars! Thanks.......................................
  4. Thanks for the post. Wish I could find some of my old programs.......................................
  5. Welcome Doug, Pics and stories are always appreciated. I don't care if it's 1/4 midgets or Indy cars, anytime you are running wheel to wheel with the other fellow, that's racing!!!!
  6. Map the corner of Greens Rd. And Lee Rd. The track, barely visible is Northwest of that corner. I raced there about 1957 or 1958. Fun asphalt track. Pretty much overgrown now.
  7. The story goes that Charlie couldn't fit the long V-12 in the coupe so he set the coupe down on the modified Lincoln frame. Charlie was a gearhead of the highest order.
  8. Looks like an old Lincoln V-12. http://hotrodsandjalopies.blogspot.com/200...arlie-ryan.html
  9. Drool, Drool.................
  10. Sorry to hear that. Our prayers go out to his family. RIP................................................
  11. I think the photographers son is Jimmy McKenzie(sp).
  12. Hi mr427, Somewhere in all these posts, I put up some information that I had asked Red about. The frame, rear end and some suspension info. If you do a replica, might be helpful to have. Good luck.
  13. Man, Those are great. I'm sure Joe would like it a lot. Keep us up to date on progress of all you models. Thanks, Jim
  14. Anymore videos around for Meyer races in the 60s. Broncos, Modifieds, Midgets or Sprints. I can't get enough! Really enjoyed the last one that Randy Posted. Others said they had photos they were going to post. Many thanks to Mark for all he posted. Thanks to all..................................
  15. Anybody talked to Roy Tuley recently? Haven't seen or talked to him in years . He may have knowledge of the whereabouts of a couple of these old cars. Meyer and Playland both. Maybe he can post in this forum. Like I said, its been many years and a lot of things could have happened.............................
  16. You are correct Tom. I would bet that the original engine in this car was a 324. I built a few of those old motors myself.
  17. Billy Griswold drove an Olds powered sprint at Meyer Speedway in the early 60s, give or take, but I don't think it was this one. Might ask him when you see him. Jim
  18. Awesome pics!!! Beautiful cars. Does that sprinter have an Olds engine?
  19. What you mean US!!! Oh, We yam US!!!!!!!!
  20. Hey Tom, Thanks for the pics! Those are some slick little cars!
