    The yellow Jeep may be the "Holy Toledo" car, that raced at the old track with the Secret Weapon and Destroyer Jeeps.

    Yes! The Tempest has a "gennie" injected Pontiac motor!

    The famous Speed Sport Roadsters have raced out of Tucson since the '50s! ...and still do! :-)

    More good ones!

    The Stone-Woods & Cook funny was being driven by Doug "Cooki" Cooks grandson... Mike Cook Junior!!!

    The Hemi powered Willys is still owned by local racer Don Toia... and was the AHRA BB/GS record holder! It now is used... ON THE STREET!

    The way it was!

    The Buick straight eight engine was often run in D/Dragster...

    as was the GMC six cylinder. This one had a 12-port head! :-)

    The '33 Willys Gasser was running a blown Olds engine... which was popular in mid-sixties Gas classes.

    "Starvin" Marvin Schwartz' beautiful "Anaconda" sixties fueler!

    Marvin's career actually ended at our old track in the seventies. He puctured a rear tire on his rear-engined digger, when he ran over the timing lights in traps... rolled the car... and died in the crash. I was there that day, and it was truly sad.

    It is rare when you see two Kaiser-Darrin sports cars in the same place. Obviously... (VERY)... the yellow one ran Modified Sports!
