Kurty Huntington · 12-01-2010, 10:01 AM

I drove a bunch of those cars back in the day. Some of my freinds cars from up north...64 Hemi aluminum car of Tolle Polawic,65 A-990 of Jim Van Zee,, Gary Ostriches A990,Lee Smiths A-990, Bill Dagle A990. Any one have any pics of these cars?I have a bunch of old tapes of us running at Cordova, Cedar falls and Eddyville in the early 70's... thanks, Kurt H

Sam Hurley's "Mountain Hemi" was a beautiful car and I always liked Dick Landy's '67 WO23 Dodge.

I remember reading up on Bob Marshall's SS/BA "Dodge Material" a bunch in the car mag's. However, I also had the pleasure of watching Dennis Mauer's Blue & White Coronet at the drags in Denver back in the 70's & 80's.

Now knowing that Don Wann raced one of them too, makes me wonder if any of you have pics of his "Rettig Bro's" car, and of him...I'm certain he had a photo taken with his mustache in a "French Curl" like "Ringo" from the outlaw gunslinger days of the "Old West", but I don't have any of those 70's-80's magazines with me. Any collectors out here with that (I believe Super Stock & Drag Illustrated) magazine? I'm thinking he was racing in the Winter Nationals when the photo was taken, and he was running that Coronet in SS/BA. I told Steve that I remember seeing a photo of his dad like that, but I can't find the right magazine...

Dennis Maurer's with Motor Wheel Flys on it was my favorite.

A car I almost bought in 1970 was the black Coronet of Tom Crutchfield of Kocomo, In.

guys just to let you know, Dennis's car was the old Go Hummer car

Another Coronet was from around Charleston,WV. belonged to the Boggess family with name I think was WV Hemi Charger. I remember a Dodge from Ohio I think that was owned by Furlongs I think.
