Subject: Drag raceing in the cornpatch--& Poly
news We had a GREAT weekend. Mopar only drag races, swap,
and show 1/4 mile track at Ceder Rapids, Iowa. The weather was just
perfect for the entire weekend. In addition to the regular classes, the
Nostalgia Super Stockers made their appearance. Also four nostalgia Funny
Cars. Our own Mike Creglowe was their with his Gorgeous 65 B body hdtp
running the Pro Class. Now sometimes what I hear is not what was actually said
so I may need some correction! Friends Rosie and Clay Kossuth were there with
their 64 Dodge and 63 Dodge. ( Nostalgia Super Stockers) Clay lunched his
tranny on Saturdays qualifications. Rosie lost in the first round which is very
unusual. They are consistantly in the upper range of points standings.
Doug Jacobsma and wife and us were in Mikes
pit a lot of the time. Mike did major improvements to his car last Winter
and this weekend was the first for him to try it out. After trying the new
trans-brake, he decided to run without it - more familiar doing it the footbrake
style. He made it thru 3 rounds and lost in the 4th round. I think that was the
quarter finals.?? TOUGH competition!! I got a kick out of people coming to
his pit and being surprised that such a beauty of a car was used as a drag
racer. 8-)
Poly news -- in a bench race session with Clay,
he told me that Hemi Hotheads was developeing speed parts for Poly engines
as they are rapidly gaining in popularity. I think?-- aluminum heads-
intakes and cams. And a stroker kit. I mentioned that Gary Pov. was on our 62-65
website and Clay acknowledged that he is well known among the Poly folks.
When we get time, wifey will put together
video clips of Mike C. wheelstands and put them on U - tube.
URL will be posted here.
