Keith Cornell owns this deuce Deluxe coupe, and
hails from the famous Rolling Bones Hot Rod Shop in
Ballston Spa, New York. He and business partner
Ken Schmidt drove their deuces from NY.
Running in XF\STR this little flat motored '30 A
roadster was one of the prettier cars there.
The Beck, Cummins, Davidson '28 roadster
was chasing a Jimmy Shine record of
208 mph. A sister
car did 246 on a 256 record.
The Creel & Buck '34 is the world's
fastest vintage 4 cylinder coupe, having a 5 main bearing Model B
engine that has pushed the Rutherford OHC equipped car to 156 mph.
This fabulous little
Ardun converted flatty sat on a trailer in the pits all week.
Obviously the motor in the race car didn't need changing.
Maine Barons Racing made a 2700
mile trek from Strong, in Maine, the one right up
near Canada, to Bonneville, then the
car ran like a train all week.
This is where the pages could use sound to great
effect - check the efforts of the bystanders to muffle the sounds of
the Shadow team's blown fuel A coupe.
B\GR is a tough class, but Vince Norton, from
East Wenatchee WA, has the goods, in the form of a highly modified
'28 roadster. Note how the extended hood replaces the top of the
fuel tank, a common modification in this class. |
Resplendent in the
sponsor's bright yellow, this car could pass for a street driven
rod. The Monterey CA based Mooneyes car was all business though.
The paint & finish was exceptional on the race
car...
The rod that pushed
the Beck, Cummins, Davidson roadster was the '32 pickup
from the Vintage Hot Rod Shop - read more about their outfit
here.
The Barbee Boys, from Dana Point, CA,
are members of the 200 mph club. and blasted their '28 roadster to
210 mph during speedweek.
That's a 'Crew' sticker on the 'screen of this
muchly chopped '32 Tudor hiboy.
The Maine Barons Racing
9" chopped '34 3-window was built by the late 'Sam'
Samson, whose son Greg handles the driving chores.
The knockabout Castenada Bros '28 A
hiboy on deuce rails, was as old school as a rod could get, right
down to the early hemi power plant and period correct sign writing.
Given that some of the roots of hot rodding come
from dirt track racing, this side valve powered vintage sprint car
fits right into this page for Rods .

7112 is a Model A 4 cylinder (banger)
powered A roadster,
from the SoWhat Rod Shop, the province of
Irene and Shug Hanchard. The race car
was built from the crap that
was laying around their
rod shop.
...and on their matching push\tow car, a sharp
'36 Ford Tudor street rod.
While some of the entrants made spectacular
journeys of mammoth proportions, the Volk Bros & Elbert
car came from
nearby Bountiful, Utah.
Many street rods are part of the on-salt
experience; this '32 5-window would be right at home at any rod run
- in fact, it was, just a week later.
Another member of the Rolling Bones high
adventure from NY, the old timey Tudor was a neat fit with the rest
of the 'Bones entourage.
Team Green Rose has an immaculate black early A
roadster that ran 195 mph. Philip Kalawaia
is the front man of Team Green Rose.
M & S Racing, from Dittmer, MO were a long way
from home, and had a time running their '34 coupe.
There are a few more shots of this Tudor coming
up, in the Art edition.
The end - the next edition will focus on the
teams.
