In order not to overwhelm readers with grief this will be serialized in coming issues.\u00a0Dallas Jones<\/strong>, the longtime owner\/operator of historic Beech Bend Raceway and other Division 3 tracks, died February 25, 2023. He was 82.\u00a0Wayne \u201cthe Peregine\u201d King<\/strong>, a staple of the SoCal drag racing scene during the 1960\u2019s up until the mid-1970\u2019s when he retired from active racing, has died.\u00a0Roy \u201cGoob\u201d Tuller<\/strong>, a pre-eminnent dragster driver in the 1960\u2019s known most famously for driving the Freight Train Top Gas dragster, has passed.\u00a0https:\/\/www.nhra.com\/news\/2023\/memoriam<\/a><\/strong>.<\/div>\n

3)<\/strong>\u00a0The info on the Cam Father (Ed Iskenderian<\/strong>) is somewhat accurate (in the newsletter). There is a post on his Facebook page giving similar details.\u00a0March 27, 2024.\u00a0\u201cHi, racing pals, I just wanted you to know I was assaulted by a homeless man out in from of my house last Wednesday, March 20th. The Police came and arrested him, and my son Tim took me to emergency to get checked out. I got a clean bill of health and went back to the Isky Plant later that same day. Then I went to Roland Leong\u2019s Memorial the next day at the Lions Museum. You can\u2019t keep this Legend down! Thanks for your concerns.

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I have some good, updated news on Ed. I\u2019d like to ask you to put it out as soon as you can. Just off the phone with Ed. He\u2019s Ok and in good spirits. He gave me a brief description of what happened on the street near his home. A derelict fellow approached him, knocked Ed down and took off with Ed\u2019s cell phone. Ed called the police, and the police used the \u201cfind\u201d feature on Ed\u2019s phone to track\u00a0him down. Ed was far more nominal about it than I was, and that\u2019s an understatement. He sounded fine, said he\u2019ll have to be more careful in the future and (since I told him that a lot of his friends were very concerned) asked that I thank them for worrying about him.\u00a0Doug Stokes<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0TIM, DOUG and KATE:<\/strong>\u00a0Thank you for the good news. That will make all of Isky\u2019s fans feel better. Google the link in your search bar; there are some photos on Ed\u2019s Facebook page.<\/div>\n

9)\u00a0<\/strong>The Tire Rack One Lap of America is celebrating the 40th running.

While the first event was fun, it was more of a stage Cannonball with more police. Over the years, different automotive challenges were added along the route, autocrosses, TSD rallies, regularity runs, in 1989, we ran our first road course time-trial at Hallett with Brock and Toly conspiring against an SCCA edict. Since then, One Lap has run at over 90 racetracks all over the country with millions of miles of cars, friends and competitions.\u00a0Brock Yates Jr<\/strong>\u00a0is at<\/div>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Compare that to the outlaw tracks that put racers and fans in danger, damaged the reputation of the sport and often refused to pay prize money. I have a bias towards groups that enforced rules and treated people fairly, and the NHRA in particular, which my father founded. Yet people in the IHRA and AHRA are my friends as well and I respect them, even when we argue over detail. Can I recommend Doug Boyce\u2019s\u00a0Drag Racing\u2019s Rebels: How the AHRA Changed Quarter-Mile Competition<\/em>?\u00a0<\/em>The answer is yes, wholeheartedly, as it is a wonderful book which will fill a gap in our knowledge of drag racing.

\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ak Miller<\/strong>\u00a0left the Miller Brothers Garage to open up his own auto repair and speed shop garage. Then came a stint with the Ford Motor Company as the racing program consultant. But whenever Ak heard of a race, he closed the shop and went racing. He built the famed\u00a0El Caballo de Hierro<\/em>, or\u00a0Horse of Iron<\/em>, and took it down to Mexico to race in the Pan-Americana Road Race in the 1950\u2019s.\u00a0Ray Brock<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Doug Harrison<\/strong>\u00a0were among those on his team, and they raced and partied their way from Southern Mexico all the way to the American border. Ak also raced at Pike\u2019s Peak and in the Miglia Italia road race in Italy, where he is remembered to this day. At the age of 72, Ak was offered a ride in the\u00a0Earl Wooden<\/strong>\u00a0Crossley Coupe and set a record at Bonneville over 200 miles an hour to join the prestigious 200 MPH Club and earn the privilege to wear the Red Cap.\u00a0\u00a0(to be continued)<\/div>\n

Sponsors and advertisers are welcomed to help offset the costs involved. According to Joe,\u00a0\u201cMost of the entire market for modern day website owners\u2019\u00a0charge per click\u00a0meaning, let\u2019s say they get 10 million visits per month. They have salespeople to sell 250,000 (clicks for an ad) then the ad is done, and the ad comes off their site for say $500. The customer or sponsor doesn\u2019t get 10 million views. He or she only gets 250,000 views. I feel that is robbing the customer or sponsor.\u00a0Press releases in writing will be free (like they did it in the old magazine days), as long as I can hold out. Video news\/ads or product releases will be charged in 30-day cycles.\u00a0No long term\/big dollar contracts.\u00a0We\u00a0will have a simple $400 per month charge to have videos on our site. We will have PAYPAL buttons with a simple charge the customer selects for a 1-month\/3-month\/6-month or 12-month onetime payment.\u00a0Because of our Adamstand Workbenches, we will soon launch our ads into millions of homes. Then our ads will link to our websites\/where on the bottom of each page on both of our main websites already exists a link right to the American Motorsports News website.\u00a0The difference is when we get 10 million page views, as our exposure grows so will our advertisers\u00a0and sponsors.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThese historic milestones can best be appreciated in what has been assembled in the NHRA Motorsports Museum at the Fairplex in Pomona, California \u2013 which is a prime inspirational source of this column\u2019s contents. Its history and that of the hundreds of people involved with the museum\u2019s origin, design, preparation and ongoing attractions is what these writings will be about. And as one of this wacky car world\u2019s elder historians, I do hope to keep the contents interesting. First off, this Museum, as planned from its start, is a mixture of many forms of motorsports \u2013 not just drag racing, but ones that connect with its early roots and industries that have grown with its popularity. Pioneers in this action are seen in all aspects of motor racing, and their names are a legendary part of its history \u2013 often overlooked but nonetheless heroic. (to be continued).<\/div>\n

Although this is the first book I have written, research and auto racing has been a passion of mine and I have written several articles dealing with the history of auto racing back in the AAA 300 cubic inch era (1915-1919-the birth of overhead cam racing in the US). Corvette drag racing has also been a real passion as I was a member of team so to speak in the 60\u2019s when we raced two Corvettes and I have vintage drag raced two 1962 Corvettes occasionally since 2013.

77)\u00a0<\/strong>Locked rearends; pros and cons, by\u00a0Dale Cook<\/strong>. The \u201cDifferential\u201d was designed to allow the rear wheels to rotate at different speeds, allowing the outer wheel, on a turn, to cover a greater distance than the wheel on the inside of the curve. Without the differential at least one tire would have to slip while the vehicle was moving in any direction other than a straight path.\u00a0On oval-track racing, there would typically be less weight on the inside tire, causing that tire to spin. The racers started blocking the Spider Gears from rotating against each other by welding them together, installing square blocks with gear teeth on two sides, which blocked the rotation, or running a Spool, which actually eliminated the differential action altogether.\u00a0(to be continued in the next issue)<\/div>\n
