Thanks by the way for posting these magazine article shots. These images are priceless, especially for young guys like me who never got to know what the racing scene was like at the time. This is also the first time I've ever actually seen what Heavy looks like! Very cool stuff man, thanks!

The Camaro on the hauler came from Motion. Joel deliverd it to Heavy after the NY auto show in 69. I still speak with Heavy on a fairly regular basis and while he ran into some tax trouble is a great guy. His stories are priceless.
I am the guy who bought one of the haulers that came from Dick's shop. Heavey considered this car one of his favorite cars along with the Duster that went over seas. It saw a bit of street use before it was converted for the track.
Rumor has it it was left chained to a pole in NY and was striped then rusted away till the shop was sold and it was scraped. As for the 70 in question again rumor has it it went up north and was never seen again.
This is a great pic of the car and big sleeper truck.
Heavy's nick name was Junior and his brother was Lonie hence the J&L... There were dozens of cars in his camp including a Jenkins 68 rs that is believed to still be out there.
Love the Pic and I will Try to get a copy for Heavy..
Thanks
Brian

Hey Brian, Welcome aboard. Keep the NY based stories coming! Sometimes Heavy would show up at Cecil County with 4 cars at the same race in the real early 70's. Cecil County Snowbird meets in 1970-72 time frame in February if I remember correctly.
