And here is a link to an action shot of the car: Jim Hale GT/EA

And look at that.....4 hood pins...imagine that ! He was using the same eyes that he saw "Alum Heads" on a wedge engine with....lol.

I am not the sharpest pencil in the box but, two things I "think" I seen ..

The hood to me appeared to be glass and the heads appeared t o be alum (seen what looked like alum poking thru the paint ..but, I'm not positive so do say I said for sure on either of those..

Here it is

Looks a lot like Chuck Rayburn's car.

Again, not sure but ..Several years ago I'm fairly certain this is the same car , it was at a Swap meet here in DFW .

The fab work looks like Joe Smiths handiwork to me , and I figured that is was Mr Jim Hale cause the engine compartment was red

And I know Joe does most of the work for him or at least did ..

I sure wish I knew the rules on what fits and what doesn't etc because I must of slept thru the class that said it was ok to run Alum heads, etc. etc and all the other things that seemed to me a novice ol bracket racer
Out of place ..

Bob Pagano, Wesley doesn`t go to National events, Jim Hale ran SS/BA at Bell Rose points meet Sept. 19, Listed 68 Barracuda but 68 doesn't fit in SS/BA, I think this car had a hemi in it when Jim got the car and he put his 383 or 440 out of his 68 Barracuda in the 64 car, he was running in GT/EA, Just guessing ?

Hey Jody, nice car. Can we see a larger image?

In any case I think it will be cool to see a big car in these classes. And I can't wait until someone does a 440 car, so will it be Shaker Hood or the 340 Sixpack scoop?
