Cool race car names! - Page 7

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.

Early 70's at NY Nat'l Speedway and Hamptons ,Sam Biondo and Phil Monteith the "Gray Ghost".Sam had a trailer and I flat towed my first Gremlin called the "Flying Shoebox".Car was original pewter silver,
didn't start with R/W/B paint scheme till 1981.
Maybe someone could put up some of the other names.James Antonetti "Yellow Fever".etc etc...........
