Here's a sample of his work

I stayed at the track Saturday night and when I woke up, all the cars looked like they were posing. So I thunk, why not?

We had as many as 17 cars at one time altogether.

100" cars- 6 on track, 5 for display. Some cars didn't make it due to numerous reasons, but I'm certain they'll be there the next time around.

Midget-1

coupes-3

vintage sprint-1

Fendered cars-2

As always there is a gray area in car numbers that intend to show, then there is a solid number that will show, then there is the cars that do show. We took an unusual hit in the numbers of the cars that were to be there, but we still had enough to make a statement that we're serious. There can be no turning back now, too much money and time has been invested in cars that we want to drive.

Yes Bubba, they's more cars to come.

James Skinner and David Hestand have teamed up to get this car out. In three laps it all came back to Skinner. They said he woke the place up now.

Well we tried to get Stanley Cothren to run his car Saturday night but it was no go at the time for various reasons. So here's James Skinner about to go out in the Sizzlin 6 on Sunday. It's the first time he sat behind a six cylinder in 36 years! Transmission was low on fluid and he brought it back in, but he'll drive anything!

George Jackson brought out his '55 chevy. THIS WAS A RUSTED OUT 4 DOOR 2 MONTHS AGO! It went from a crusher candidate to a favorite toy in little time.

Harold Lindsey brought in his '55. This has started a few thinking 'bout their vintage stockers.

We need to keep this group before 1972 if we could at least. Definitely the outsides need to appear that way. Anything after 1973 starts getting into modern day Factory Stock territory, and I'm just not sure we're ready for that.

Lance Lindsey took some good laps out there in the 8jr along with George Jackson in the #7

Lloyd Cooper brought in his rig

John Chadwell and Lloyd Cooper go at it with FLATHEAD POWER!

Trammell Rushing brought in his new aquisition. You know now that Chrysler corp. got back into oval racing with their V-8s in the 90's. You may know that Gary Stanton had the hookup with MOPAR with his USAC Silver Crown car, and then went with the Kinsers to do the WoO deal. Then MOPAR got into NASCAR and so on.

But, did you know that this project came out in 1990 with a set of 'hush-hush' heads that just sorta fell out the back door of a Direct-Connection/MOPAR entity? The history is a little cloudy, but I remember when this happened. Sure was one hell of a coincidence that MOPAR got back in when it did AFTER this car and a few others in other classes cropped up. One of those interesting technical leaks from Chrysler.

Oh, and those cage-nets were invented by another modified driver from the OkC area, JimWhite. I have one of the first ones! A lot of things came out of here and spread like wildfire over the years. So, do we have history? Yee-huh.

Check out the bump steer cure for this car

And the 38 Special made it too. Turned out it didn't push like a freight train, and I can run like I was 20 when I need too.

Your site made this work!

I have a lot of people to thank and I'm busy with the car and looking to Ada, Ok now.

We have more pics at this link, this guy made me look good!

I wanted to touch on this car a little more, this is from memory, and leads to hypothesis not fact, but you get the idea-

Mid 1980's- Cirlce Track magazine asked the inevitable question as to when MOPAR would get back into NASCAR. A representitive replied "The future is the v-6, and that's what we are focused on. When they begin to run those, we'll be ready to look into it".

1990-ish- Representitives announce Chrysler is getting into INDYCAR racing with a DOHC v-8. When asked about NASCAR, the reply is "They use technology(pushrod,ohv) that is 30 years old, why go back when the future is in our hands"?

1992, maybe 1993-- Roger Penske wins another Indy 500 with a new Ilmor engine design. Chevrolet bailed when the pricetag was high and the existing engine was still competitive. Mercedes came on board and paid the bill that was in the tens of millions from what I recall.

The writing on the wall was that the 'future' was incredibly expensive with a high probabilty against a sizeable return. A good business visionary could have seen this as possible early on, and ANY good strategist is going to have a plan 'B' if it's doable.

In 1985 Buddy Arrington had to use existing inventory and junkyard parts for his Cup cars, thus if he couldn't get access back then, no body could. MOPAR wasn't talking oval racing in the mid 80's, but they were 5 years later.

----So, seeing the GM/Ford v-6 program bloom and then quickly fade, Indycar engines become outrageously difficult to finance over a long term----What are the chances of some 'experimental' old technology heads easing their way out of the back door of a skunkworks facility, to some grassroots racers? Surely someone knew Lee Iacocca was going to retire in a few years, so it would have to be done quietly.

It is a fact that Gary Stanton had a MOPAR Silver Crown car in the mid-90's. So, somewhere in the bridging of the gap...............see what I mean?

This is purely hypothetical.

Brian Thanks for a great weekend. For all those who didn't make it they missed the start of history in the making. Also a great thanks for the Texas hospitality and great food on Sunday. What can I say about Harold Lindsey and all the effort he put into putting on a good show, and bringing out all of his cars for us to see. Again Job Well Done

Trammell, Thank you for bringing a car in and a nice one at that! Looking forward to when you get out there with us.

A few things I learned this weekend-

On the subject of this thing we call "exhibition racing"

1. Build and/or maintain a car you trust with your own life. Respect for the machine will lead to respect for your investment and yourself.

2. Respect for your machine will lead to respect for other peoples machines and their own wellbeing. We need the cars and the people your are driving next to. Show the proper courtesy, then that means we NEED you as well.

3. Respect for all those things above will lead to having more 'uptime' to improve your car and improve your driving skills.

4. Part of the 'pop factor', that 'dive in and find the monkey feel', comes from A. the number of cars we bring to the table, B. the sheer diversity(within a common set of rules), C. the way they perform either on the track or just sitting still. Balance in a positive direction. In time if we get enough cars, we may have to look at ways to balance the field to keep this diversity

Of course as this thing grows, adjustments will have to be made. We really like the mood loose, yet effective. Time manangement in respect to what the track promoter needs will also have to be a priority. Remember, the promoter is entertaining people and we are a part of that............The trade off is getting to run the next day or at least having the option to do so.

----The pressure that a young racer feels to 'prove himself' in a short amount of time with limited oppurtunities, is pulled away. Leaving us the time to have fun and drive in a race by our own definition.

The road to Indy has been closed to us, but there are still a lot of friends to be made out side of the gates. Just like it always was. But this time,we get to drive the cars we dig!

James had so much fun Saturday night,he called me early Sunday morning and we got all of the Walker car parts together and he started assembly monday morning.Chassis has been painted already,so now we just have to reassemble (sounds easy).It was great to see everybody,good food and nobody tore anything up.We are ready to go to Ada!
