jwmbishop Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 When I first got into racing half the pack was 55-57 chevs buicks and pontiacs. The 'vertable was especially loved for the big X in the frame. Until the mid 70's there were way more big blocks running than small blocks. We had two tracks in our area - Cajon (3/8 asphalt) and Southbay (1/2 dirt). The big cars drove em like two dragstrips with an inconvenience between em. During this time period - I was still in the stands, years later when allowed in the pits - thats me - leaning against the fence post as they go three wide (pretty common as turns 3-4 were apexed to match a half mile track), Best car I worked on (second wrench one year crew chief two) - best appearing three years straight - steel body, hand brushed flames, 383 powerglide.

Hobby Fan Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 He just turned 78 last week and lives outside Uvalde. His 56 was blue and white. I drove it to high school sometimes in the mid 70's. I remember that corvair abomination! He did bring it home. I wasn't old enough to drive yet by a year or two. It never hit the beach if I can recall correctly. I don't know what happened to it. He (ya'll?) built a VW that looked like a Model A pick up, with out doors, out of fiberglassed wood. It was copper color. I drove that quit a bit. I believe he started teaching that class in 68 maybe 67. Said the teacher before him lasted 6 weeks. Driscoll Jr High was a tough place to go to school. Do you remember the plywood board he had on the wall that had the number of licks you would get for different infractions like leaving tools out, horse play, etc.?
