I wish I had taken a picture it was a true barn find. I had some of the best times with that car and should have never sold it.

You'll never guess who I ran into today at a huge car auction (ADESA) here in central New Jersey. Go ahead, guess. That's right, Alan Halsey! He along with yours truly is one of over one-hundred fifty drivers that work at the auction every Thursday, and today Alan and I just so happened to be assigned to the same group of drivers.

If I hadn't of listened in on a conversation he and another guy were having about old VW's, which eventually got around to drag racing and VW's, I would've never chimed in and Alan would've never told me he ran Hemi Super Stockers in the 1970s. Small world, huh?

I told Alan about this forum, mentioned this post and sent him the links. Hopefully he will sign up soon and join the conversation with more info.

Wow that’s great news I would love to hear from Alan. He was probably one of the best 426 Hemi engine builders at the time. We spent a lot of time with him and he was the only one we trusted to build our motors, even when we weren’t partners. Hope all is well with him and his family.

The late Ray Cook and Artie Leong would attest to that! I have Alan's email address. Send me a PM.

Alan looks great. You should've seen his face after he told me his name and I replied: "I know who you are!" Alan told me he only had one photo of his old race car. Does anyone have any?

He also asked about Artie Leong. I told Alan that Art posts to the Classracer.com forum. Artie, you out there? Hemi Al would like to hear from you.
