ALL THIS DAMN GRAFFITI
This was from yesterday's Hemi reunion at Quaker City Dragway
"Mr. 4 Speed" Herb McCandless
Father of the 426 Hemi Tom Hoover (leaning on wing)--I got distracted and didn't get him actually signing the wing...he's standing there with Tom "Ghost" Coddington, another Chrysler engineer
Tom Coddington signing
I feel like an idiot but I forgot to write his name down, AND I don't have a clear shot of the wing on film! he's a Chrysler engineer who worked on all sorts of projects, and was in Talladega in '04
The Motown/Mopar Missile gang
Dick Oldfield
Ted Spehar
Joe Pappas
"Akron" Arlen Vanke
John Teddey
McCandless and Spehar joking around in front of the S&M transporter
I have pics of most of the cars, too. suffice to say that I'd have to go someplace like the Rennsport Reunion to see this many race cars in one place. As much as I'm a wing car guy, this ate Talladega for breakfast. the coordination to get so many race cars and racers in one place must have been insane. i'm still shaking my head over it.
