Pattie,

Picture #13 is quite the picture, really well composed and taken! Your dad, Jim Frederick and Bob Sykes Sr. (sitting on the front fender of Bob Sykes Jr.'s 69 Z-28). Late in the day, most of the tarps are down and Bob with a beer. Bob Sr. passed on last year.

Really all of them are good pictures.

C5X DAYTONA

Quote from: wrenchgirl on March 05, 2010, 01:51:16 AM
C5X Daytona -- I just scanned a bunch of pictures from '85 Bonneville and I only remember one person there with Vernon . . . besides his wife and daughter (Elise?), and think I have a picture of you at the starting line, and also with you head under the hood of his car.

I made 13 attempts at Jim Frederick's record in 1985 and came within a few tenths of a MPH of qualifying.  Back then you had to run up and back AFTER qualifying so I was still a ways from the record.  The goal was "first 3rd generation member" of the 2-club, to follow up on my Dad being the "first 2nd generation member."  The fire on the way home and my move to New Mexico later that year kind of ended my driving days.  My cousin Gary did get in the 2-club with the Firebird but by then there was already at least one third generatino member.

I've got 23 photos scanned and ready to post but need to figure out the best way to post them.  They scanned at 300dpi and are larger than the maximum size allowed, so I may have to rescan them before I can post them.
Did you get all 13 runs in, in the week.  I know with Vernon 2 runs a day tops.  That is Joe Slama under the hood.  I didn't see any pictures of me.  :rotz:  Yes Vernon's daughter is name Elisa or Elise.   Blanca and Vernon Divorced about 15 years ago..     I think the red Superbird (Looney Toones)had a Wedge in it.  Also I remember them running the car with no oil in it for a while on accident.  But I think that was in 86.   That error put an end to their week.    I know Vernon Judy has tons of photos and hours of videos.  He still lives out here.  I copied some of his stuff many years ago.    I didn't know you didn't make it in the 200 club.  I had thought that you did.    Didn't your grandpa Jim spin the car one morning during the early morning back up run?  I remember that.  I was 15 in 85.   I got get the picks out and post them too.  I have some of the ones with the cars lined up on the salt like you have.

Redbird

In '85 as I recall I went 173 with the original 60,000 mile short block in my red Superbird. I decided to put that motor in the corner of the garage since it was a matching # original motor. In '86 I put a new wedge in the car and certainly had an oil pressure problem. We made a mistake in assembling the engine, fortunately we didn't damage the motor and it later went 198. I'm readily capable of not putting oil in a car but my mistake wasn't that simple.

I have most the runs from the in car video and outside video at about the 2-3 mile marker video from/of Vernon's Daytona.  How to I post them?  They are on VHS.   Hope they are still good.  Have not watched them in probably 15 years.   I even have a 200mph run on I-10 coming back from Phoenix 1 year and then the CHP made a road block out of semi trucks.  I have that hole deal on tape..lol.  From Vernon's car and our car..  We had 3 69 Daytona going across the Desert and got the hole thing on tape.  Crazy.  Everyone was going to jail..  But the CHP lightened up after a long conversation.  And yes I have that all on tape too.   I told my dad (I was passenger) that someone turned around in the medium as we went by (around 120) and he said to shut up..lol   Later, my dad says where did he come from and I said I tried to tell you and then I think there was some profanity...lol.  Vernon said he was going faster on the 10 then he went at Bonneville.

wow awesome memorys  thanks for sharing :cheers: :popcrn: :coolgleamA:
mmm could play the video & record it  via a digital camera & put it on youtube , or  get one of them tape to dvd recorders ! hmm yeah not being played for so long , could be a prob , something like that needs to be preserved! thats wing car history, could take it to a specialist & get them to convert it to a DVD !  perhaps ! as they would have dealt with old tapes before  :yesnod:

VHS would not be that difficult to convert to a digital file. The problem with VHS is that the more times it is viewed the quality of the video degrades. Each time the tape runs over the heads on the VHS player it wears off. Another problem with VHS is that if its stored somewhere that their is humidity it can start to have mold grow on it as well. I could convert those video's to DVD or even blu-ray for you if you'd be interested.

I need to get all my early years of VHS tapes that I have earliest wingcar archives on .And get transfered over .Then figure out how to post it on you tube

C5X DAYTONA

Well it is not humid here so the mold is not going to be a problem.   About 15-20 years ago we loaned out all of our super 8mm Wing Car meets and Wing Car races.  I see some of them on YouTube.  If you have ever see the video where Bobby Allison is on fire and hits the wall nose first with the Daytona and then climbs out.  That was our 8mm.  Also Glotchback and Lorenzen at the World 600 where Glotchback blows an engine and him and Lorenzen crash in turn 4 I think .  Again my dad.  These are on Youtube but we don't have 8mm back.. There was a lot of family stuff on them also.  We never got them back.  No one knows where they went.  I ask my dad (Joe Machado) to get them back but nobody knows who has them.  That really sucks..  Even Super 8 of the Warner Bros Dukes of Hazard storage yard with well over 100 General Lees sitting in there wrecked and then taking one of them out for a drive..   So if you have them or know who does please get in touch with my dad or myself....  You know who you are......
