Re: True Class War: Pros, Cons, and Why
Yep, that would be it, the post car. After thinking about it for awhile, I'm certain Noel bought the Corvette. Looking back at the pic above, that may be after Dad bought the Chevy 2. I see a yellow water spray can and I believe we used to have a yellow one. Memory is not as good as it used to be. Damn, it's been 20 years now
I also remember Jimmy's SS/E Camaro as well. Last edited by Ronnie Smith Jr; 08-15-2008 at 10:16 PM. |

Re: True Class War: Pros, Cons, and Why
I took the 1st photo at an IHRA race in St Louis quite a few years ago. It was around 1992 or 3. I really dont remember much about the car, other than it was all over the track, and I never seen it run again...

I'm pretty sure that the Chevy II was owned by the Stephens Brothers from TN prior to Wilcox.

Re: True Class War: Pros, Cons, and Why
over the years the mopar guys have done what ever it took to keep the hemi at the top of the heep [ it is a fine engine design ] however it is not the only engine in the world as most mopar guys think,ever time some one goes out side the box with another combo they cry. the above ls7 vette and t-bolt fords can and have run with them..what was the last hemi ss/aa record and how far off is the vette that holds it now??i am not anti hemi but giving them a single brand class is just gay.allow all brands and open up to more combos,t-bolts,ac cobras etc,now mopar will say they never made enough of them, but i grew up in the muscle car days and i do recall those other cars running the street and tracks,just as many as i seen of the hemi cars.tell ford ace hawk he can build a ac cobra,but tell him it wont run with the hemi..lol

Re: True Class War: Pros, Cons, and Why
I was under the impression that Jimmy Bridges current SS Corvette was formally the Scott Wilcox car. Can anybody confirm (or deny) that?

Re: True Class War: Pros, Cons, and Why
Jimmy and I were talking about that a while back, and we were trying to figure out where each car went. I think he'd found out a few things last time we talked, but we were still wondering about a couple of others. Like I said, there were a few of those cars around here, with various owners. I'll see Jimmy at Bowling Green, and I'll ask him. He's a living history book, every time we talk, I learn more, and have more fun.

Re: True Class War: Pros, Cons, and Why
I was told that this Corvette is the car that Jimmy Bridges races. Don't know who owned it between Traffanstedt and Bridges though. I think the car was owned by Mike Robinson prior toTraffanstedt.
