Anyone remember Jack Arnew ??? - Page 2

Hey Jack! Do you have any Jack Arnew Suspension Systems decals from the 60's left? I run a N/SS 66 Chevelle SS, and I think it would be appropriate to display them for the Nostalgia series. You probably know most of the competitors. The 422 Allstars series is run by Rich Lamont, and Dink Bishop. My cell # is 410-371-2818. Thanks, John.

Hi Jack.
It's been a long time. Glad to see you are still on the green side. If you rember I had my 68 Hemi Cuda down a couple of times for you to work on. I will be at the dutch classic in october if you get up this way would sure be good to see and talk to you.

Jack,
Where are you?

Clayton (Mr. Wright), Are you the famous "SLO-MOTION" of B-Body
Mopar fame. I'm sure you are

. Was that one of the original 72 factory cars or did you get one from another racer? Ever at Dover, NY???

Jack, Found an old Maryland newspaper article. Your Cuda ran a
10.70 @ 130.64 in Maryland (Capitol Raceway?), in 69'.
Thats-A-Flying

Have several photo's of you at Dover, somewhere in our old Kodak
carousel slide pictures. When you were there in 68' or 69'? Maybe even 70'?

Oh, us too. 67' Cuda, 273 J/S (68'), K/S (69'-71') And so on.........
Found an article, with the car named "Poor Boy". Is that correct?

I remember Bob Gipson telling me about you Jack. He bought a SS/JA 65 Nova in the late 70's. He tubbed it and then bought all new front end stuff and drove out to have you sort out the front end stuff. He never regretted the trip from Illinois. It left a lasting impression on me. I am glad you are still out there having fun.

Here's a not so great picture of Mr. Arnew's Barracuda that I took at Kinston, NC, in 1970.
