[Verne_Frantz]

Just curious if anyone knows the name of the guy who brought the '63 Impala and what times it ran??

[Mr70]

When I pulled in at 9AM,he & his buddy,in a similar Imp., were in front of me on the Highway.I could hear him a 1/2 mile away.
Two nice guys with one Hell of of a fast 409.I thought he ran in the 12's?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/Rick_Peters/scr8x30006.jpg

[csx289]

I did see the 409 run briefly, it was in the lane next to me. Didn't catch much after I passed him. LOL

Must have run pretty good, I think I ran a 12.1 or so on that pass at 116... it was a fun race, much more challenging than racing Charley - yawn.

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/CharleySucks.gif

Colin

[Xplantdad]

Verne...I've got some runs on video...I'll let you know...I believe he was running low 12's.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Verne_Frantz]

Thanks Bruce. I've enjoyed every one of your photos, even though I kinda lean toward the big cars. Perhaps someone who ran alongside him has saved their time slip.

Thanks for the extra photos of the car Rick. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I also loved seeing "your" sign on display. Having Mark's '68 in front of it was the PERFECT setting!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

Verne

[Belair62]

Verne I talked to him for a while . He came with a buddy in a Roman red or Honduras maroon (can't remember) , Grey interior 61 Impala with SS trim on it...348/350 4 speed !! The 09 was running low 12's I'm sure but has been in the 11's...lots of real aluminum on the car...he was sorting thru some AFB stuff between runs...it was an automatic.

[csx289]

If somebody knows the number the 409 had at the Reunion, I can sort through my time slips and see what he ran on the one pass I was next to him on. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to meet the owner or get a name either. Cool car all the way - I think it had Raider wheels also? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[John Brown]

Since we pitted just across from him, I talked a bit with him about the cars. Neat cars! Don't recall his name, but he had a "Phil Reed" t-shirt on. I haven't seen Phil in years, but I'll bet if you gave him a call, ole' 409 Phil could put you in touch or give you the low down on the car.

[bad1racing]

CSX289,the cars number was 37 on the windshield.The last few runs he was starting to get the bugs out of it.

[markjohnson]

Verne, I sent you a PM about the car and owner. I can give you his number off line if you are interested.

[1970Ls6]

Here are some more shots of the '63 409. these were taken on august 9th at the g.i.r. test and tune night. 63 launch (http://www.racingperspectives.com/cgi-bin/store/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Bret_Kepner_Photos/Domestic_Body_Styles/GIR_2005-08-09_Tuesday&image=BKD5-08-09_073.jpg&img=40&tt=&tfile=tn_BKD5-08-09_073.jpg) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif I will let you decide for your self about the left front.

[1970Ls6]

Here is a better picture. 63 launch2 (http://www.racingperspectives.com/cgi-bin/store/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Bret_Kepner_Photos/Domestic_Body_Styles/GIR_2005-08-09_Tuesday&image=BKD5-08-09_065.jpg&img=40&tt=&tfile=tn_BKD5-08-09_065.jpg) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif again, i let you decide for your self about the left front.

[Verne_Frantz]

Thanks for the shots! It looks like a car should coming off the line and doing a low 12. It's certainly a "fun" car.

Who do I have to bribe to let a legit '62 into that crowd next year??? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

COPO Pete, took me at the tree, I got even with the slicks by the 60 foot mark and he motored by me on the big end. I never had so much fun loosing a race.

I dont have it right but he guy with Jr Dragster was a wrench back in the day at ?????? or something like that, someone told me who he was and said he looks the same today as he did in '69...I walked through the pits with them when they went to run it..the kid was so jacked and proud to be hanging out.

Last one.
Taken at end of the show when all moved out.
That's Tom in the Center.
A few of us got some Dick Harrell/Fred Gibb cars in a row back against the far wall.
Many noteables stood there looking at this site for a moment....You could hear a pin drop.
It was a moment that a camera just doesn't do justice.
I was in awe. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

Rick, I was very HAPPY to be a part of the Great "MOTION" display!! It was a good spot and the Motion guys moved their cars over to make room for me. APPRECIATED that. I enjoy coming to the REUNION as my "SON" gets to attend and this year Especially VERY "PROUD" of him for running 11.9 with the MOTION. We were having problems with the HOLLEY 3 barrel and when we got to the motel Jim Johnson tore it apart and made some repairs and assured us that she should be running 11.50's -- maybe next year we will see. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif THANKS to all for the Pictures, we have a video that maybe we can post too. GREAT seeing everyone and the cars!!!

Thanks Sam,
The Lamar Waldon decal explains a little about how he ran so good. Carter 750s, not the stock 600s. Lot's of changes from "stock".

John couldn't get the car off idle and Darren was quick on the spot to lend a helping hand.He was soon on his way.
These two guys are a wealth of knowledge & experience,who are only surpassed by their kindness.

yea, second that - I think they look pretty cool!

[Verne_Frantz]

I wasn't going to comment on that.................... I was being a good boy. I guess I'm just a little biased since I have the original M/Ts those were copied from. Yes, I like the "style", but I prefer the old school look of a chrome rim and aluminum spokes. It started in '65, so it's a contender for a "Day-2" '62 or '63. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey Belair, did you notice the 348 valve covers? (no drippers)

Verne

[Belair62]

Nope..I was too busy looking at the 61 348 horse behind it....I have a set of M/T's too...NOS..Radirs are still cool...they look awsum on big cars..

[AnnieHartweg]

Super pics from one and all....many thanks to each of you for your efforts! Special thanks to Jeff Murphy for allowing me to go side-by-side with him. In his words, we were running the risk of taking out a large percentage of COPO cars in a single pass! Mr Cumby, it was great to run beside you. Thank you for the chance and the encouragement. Big thanks to J. D. too for the great pic and the mention that at one time both cars were sharing space in Dennis' garage. I am sure he was watching and giving us the thumbs up. (right after he smacked me in the back of the head for risking damage to his car that way) Oh well, that is what he gets for leaving me in charge. Red lights included, I had a fantastic day.

Once again, thanks to all for your patience, assistance, pictures and a great weekend! I have to ask one more time....Is it next year yet?!!!??!!??

The pleasure was all mine, my Dear. Of the three passes I made Friday, I was beaten TWICE by GIRLS!!!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Maggie Pelts gave me a HARD lesson in racing on my first pass; one I barely had a chance to see... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

And Annie thumped me the second time (with her <font color="red"> -.291 light! </font>). I guess I should have run Caleb to make the day complete!!!!

Third pass,......... RETALIATION! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

But the best part was what no one else saw; the greeting at the end of the track. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif I'll say no more....... you just had to be there. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

It is my daughters car, and she has been racing it since she was 16, it was a 12.5 street car and we have ran a best of 11.39 at 116, stock bore 70 short block, 906 heads with stock valves, 1969 six barrel set up, car weighs 3700 pounds with driver. it ran 11.50s at reunion. Maggie is now 26 years old and single. she'll kill me for that....

Larry

[69sixpackbee]

Also I just want to say Maggie and I had a great time, she loves 69 Camaro's and I think she got her fill this weekend.
This was her first year to come with me and I told her there would be some very cool cars and as always you guys lived up to my expectations. It really embodies what the car hobby is all about when you can see different types of cars at a specialty car event. Thank you all again for allowing us to be there with our Mopars and if you will have us we will be back for SCR 9, Let's do it next week.... a year is to long to wait!!!!

Larry,
I'll vouch for the 11.50s. She ran an 11.55 @115.56 against me! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif
I ran a 10.021 on that pass............. (at the 1/8 mark) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif

[69sixpackbee]

She is a good kid, but she is real hyper and talks to fast for me. either that or I just listen to slow... The tattoo was a surprise about 7 years ago. She whipped me both times we lined up at the reunion, the deal was she had to win by more than a second counting reaction times. her best 11.55 beat my best 12.58, although I did run 12.30 at monster mopar this past weekend but she went 11.51 there in the heat.

What number was your car? I was great to see some quick "B" bodies running .
