Attention In The Pits!

October 29, 2007RIP, Mammoth Orange
Here's how the Central Valley's last "big orange" looked the last time we grabbed lunch betweenorange_busy Fairmead and Chowchilla, Calif. Alas, after 53 years of feeding motorists, the Mammoth Orange got squished by Highway 99 "improvements" that forced a three-mile detour. Dave Wallace tells the sad story in words and pictures.

June 2, 2007The Back Roads Are Better!
California's freeways are no place for a Slant Six-powered 1961 Plymouth like this rolling family heirloom, so Dave Wallace seeks out alternate backroads teaser rural roads for his frequent north-south treks. Accompanied only by folk music and a digital camera, this baby boomer's slow going is ideal for reliving
old memories and capturing new roadside attractions.

CACKLIN' WITH WAYNE KING
Yes, that blower pulley is spinning, and Wayne King's iron 354 is cackling. At the March Meet, Chuck Doss made his first visit to a drag strip in the 42 years (!) since selling this A/Fueler.6669 ("My wife told me to start sleeping with the race car," he explained.) Former-driver Wayne King tracked down his old ride, restored it to 1964 spec's, and lured Doss back to the track with an offer to let him go for a "cackle." Dave Wallace interviewed both men, shot some photos, and thoroughly enjoyed inhaling the nitro.





March 13, 2007BAKERSFIELD WAS BITCHIN'
A new track surface,6669 70-degree sunshine, 500-plus race cars and the return to local ownership added up to a terrific March Meet. See Dave Wallace's words and pictures inside.
