I could not stand to be without Roger,
so I had his name permanently tattooed on my wrist.

Racing necessitates the use of a blow-proof housing around the flywheel.
 Here is the custom-built one I designed, welded, & machined for my Bonneville race car.

Julesburg, Colorado, a Bit of Humor

I ran a 56 Ford here years ago.
On a recent vacation I dropped by Julesburg, CO and snapped this pic. 
 And yes, it IS both the airport and the dragstrip.

The Wife's Artmobile

2011 HHR Jeanie purchased for transporting her artwork to & fro around the tri-state area. Too bad it does not get as gooda gas mileage as our big old fat 2003 Buick Park Avenue!

2011 Street Rod Party


Jeanie signed the form for the city and agreed that there would be no excessively loud music.  She forgot to mention that we would have 2 fuel dragsters.  Every car had to start their engines while the crowd clapped...no trailer queens here!

2011 Street Rod Party


We invited only friends who had street rods or collectible cars.  The rule was "Bring a HOT ROD, get a HOT DOG".  We had 36 vehicles show up for our party and the city allowed us to cordon off the entire block.  Ivan Policky drove his stock 1939 Ford all the way from Sundance for the event.  He has owned the (maroon) car since he was 15...50 years!

2005 Chrysler Crossfire

My  wife says that I can drive a car sideways faster than she can drive straight forward.  I did not expect her to find this for me on the internet, but she took me to Greeley, CO and we got this 2005 supercharged Crossfire with 9,000 original miles.

Bonneville Car in Progress

The profile demonstrates the radical chop.  The top of the windshield is allowed to be 5" above the cowl.  Vehicle is supported by steel stands to allow easy access for welding and fabrication.  Front clip is rolled 1/8" aluminum.

Bonneville Car in Progress

A 1976 Chevette proved to be the smallest American-made automobile.  The vehicle has a 206" wheelbase, a 16 foot front clip, total length of car is 25 feet.
