I was out and about this morning and saw these two frisky playmates over at Infinity of Columbus.1894
Just finished walking the dog... We're both panting... Man is it a scorcher outside. So we (the dog and I), are walking around the local park and I saw this...
Chuck, I usually notice nice looking runners and joggers while walking the dog, especially on a hot day. you....red Mustangs?
My bad... It was a Saleen Mustang, first one I've seen.... It could have been the heat affecting me.... The dog splayed out flat in front of our floor fan with her chicken drumstick legs point towards the four points of the compass. Me.... I was rolling a tall neck across my forehead....
Yep. That is a "normal" S281 Saleen Mustang. I'm a Mustang guy (stated many times before) but I've never liked these. The way they did the rearend is AWEFUL on good day with bad lighting.
I forgot about this..... I was at one of my buddies businesses yesterday. In his lobby is a very special racing engine.... And here I thought the mini engine was small... Yes, I have "normal" size hands... It's a Crosley... Built by one of my customers... Bud Wachholz... Supercharged (Wikipedia) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AZrV15job4[/ame] Under Video comments..... Boy that brings back memories. My dad Bud Wachholz was the first to put a roll cage on a sprint car.
Maybe we should go to see the AARA race. Fun stuff for sure. EDIT.... Added link http://crashton.smugmug.com/Cars/AARA-Vintage-Racers-08-09-2008/6567909_cC9BX
Here's an old photo of one of my father in law's vehicles..... Blackwood - Eckard - Kirk They were known in Columbus as "The Flying Fat Boys".... [/IMG]
No, but I'm sure most of the drivers are members. Gotta love the kids in the stands yelling "GO GRANPA GO".... :biggrin5:
Chuck, are they still running those races down at Washington Court House? I would definately go again! EDIT: They are running September 10 and 11 in Celina, Ohio.
The Lima event is the same weekend as the Continental Tire Challenge at Mid-Ohio. Looks like Celina to me...I'm in!!
Do they race old sprint cars? Soooo cool!!! Celina FTW.... Brian can show us where to get donuts there. :donut1:
