Re: Cool race car names!
 

Ronnie Jr. I also remember the old days at Riverside Dragstrip in Proctorville Ohio. I don't think Joe ever had a name on the Vette. The green AMX belongs to Hemi Adkins from Ravenswood, WV. He has owned the car since it was new and still runs in SS/B & SS/C. Mike

P.S. Hope your Mom & Dad are doing well. I miss your Dad running K.V. Dragstrip.

Mike,

I couldn't remember if that was Hemi's AMX or not. His car has always ran good. I see him occasionally at D-1 events and the S/SS races at Hagerstown.

Back at Riverside and Winfield, being a 10 yr old kid around all those cars was WAY COOL.

Hoy's "Rajun Injun" Pontiacs
Hundley Brothers Pontiacs
Johnny Duncan's Pontiacs, too
Charlie Betts' original 69 Z-28 with 46 miles, which Roger Keeling bought, raced and sold. I heard Charlie has bought it back to restore. Heard he still had the original motor and drivetrain.
I thought Joe's Corvette had "Swamp" as part of the name or "frog" etc.

Dad misses the racing activity and being around it. He is following a couple of leads right now but not for operating the track.

Good luck this season.

Ronnie, Jr.
