Default Re: Racing the Deuce

-----Thanks to Jake, Rob, and Tom for this trip down memory lane. This was the 1st year I had Red Alert (maybe only the third time to a track). You can see the Motor Wheel Spyders on the rear. They felt like they weighed about a hundred lbs apiece. It was actually difficult to lift them up over the studs. This was also the 1st motor and made about 650 horsies. I wanted to feel the car out for a season. Im pretty sure I even still had a posi unit in the rear at this time, and I know there was no 6-point in there yet as that was put in at Jegs the following spring. We woke the car up the next season, but these early days were really fun, especially being at Union Grove with good friends.......Bill S
