Dick, Dan Hostetter ( Dual Deuce Danny ) is one of the " little hemi
" .......
Dodges and DeSotos, guys you might want to talk to , as both his deuce three
windows use them for motivation . He is also one of the true goodguys in my
book,
as it was mainly due to his assistance, and that of fellow Californian /
goodguy
Gordon Downing, that we got my rental car " unstuck " when it broke through
the
( VERY THIN ) salt down near the floating mountain, in 1987 ....... first
trip to
Bonneville for Darrell and I . I recall the hemi in Danny' s street coupe
hauled the
freight very nicely when I rode in it back then !
If you want his address and tel. number, zip me an email off list, and
I will
send it along to you . It is the great people like Danny and Gordon and
some others I have met ( yes, you, too, Keith ) who make the land speed
events such good
times and great memories ...... not just the fabulous and varied machines
that
run at them .
By the way, a real nice nostalgia manifold set up is six 97s on a
welded steel
tubing type manifold ....... like the old Crower U - fab kits . Real easy
to make
....... just takes time and patience ....... and make sure there are no pin
holes /
leaks in your welds ....... heliarc looks best, but gas or mig can do a
really good
job, also . That is real old time hotrodding .......
Have fun ........ see ya in August ?
