He bought it for dirt cheap off a fellow named Genetti - I think it ran Sebring in '56 or '57. Ray Heppenstall and I went to Connecticut to pick it up for George and it sat in the loft of my shop. George would practice the car and Ray and I would split the racing duties. We didn't do anything to the car other than wash it and ran it 4-6x a year. It was pretty fast for what it was, not the fastest car, but it was an old race car by then. When I was moving to my new shop in '65, George wanted to sell me the car for $600, but I didn't have any money for it at the time. He sold it to a fellow named Hap Smallback and he did hillclimbs with it. </div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Here is a picture of it at Marlboro: <a href="https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/l/t31.0-8/858493_472776049437033_1033863366_o.jpg" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/l/t31.0-8/858493_472776049437033_1033863366_o.jpg">https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/l/t31.0-8/858493_472776049437033_1033863366_o.jpg</a></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Bob Tullius and I entered the Glen 500 in '65 in my car and we took the victory in the class and 7th overall.

It was upgraded to a 289 car by the time I got it from Gene Fisher. I did pretty well with it and did a lot of development work on it. We found 30bhp by redesigning the exhaust and replacing the side pipes. I had Air Flow Research (AFR) do the heads and worked with Harvey Crane on a camshaft. It made about 350bhp. The carburetor and intake were the real restriction. You could measure the bump steer in inches and had to drive it sideways. I was '69 and '70 NE BP Champion, set lap records, and finished 2nd at the ARRC in 1970 to Allen Barker's newer '69 Corvette. At the 1969 ARRC at Daytona, I blew my main motor in practice and we used a Holman Moody motor which was down on power. Started from the back and finished 7th. The car was wrecked at Watkins Glen after I sold it in 1970, but was subsequently restored to FIA spec and auctioned a few years ago. </div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Here is a picture of it then: <a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/v/t1.0-9/561553_473084832739488_1428024572_n.jpg?oh=003e71767b0482bbc0d1ecb12d7bb137&oe=55A5514F&__gda__=1438488763_aa815ffae3290645f9f89a0e53284b67" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/v/t1.0-9/561553_473084832739488_1428024572_n.jpg?oh=003e71767b0482bbc0d1ecb12d7bb137&oe=55A5514F&__gda__=1438488763_aa815ffae3290645f9f89a0e53284b67">https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/v/t1.0-9/561553_473084832739488_1428024572_n.jpg?oh=003e71767b0482bbc0d1ecb12d7bb137&oe=55A5514F&__gda__=1438488763_aa815ffae3290645f9f89a0e53284b67</a></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br></div><div style="" data-mce-style=""><a href="https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t31.0-8/856583_472761392771832_151764043_o.jpg" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t31.0-8/856583_472761392771832_151764043_o.jpg">https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t31.0-8/856583_472761392771832_151764043_o.jpg</a><br></div><div style="" data-mce-style=""><br></div><div style="" data-mce-style=""><a href="https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/v/t1.0-9/534974_473084852739486_1853182748_n.jpg?oh=c8dcdc7311701ec6af48f2d633102cf1&oe=559B4F83" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/v/t1.0-9/534974_473084852739486_1853182748_n.jpg?oh=c8dcdc7311701ec6af48f2d633102cf1&oe=559B4F83">https://scontent-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/v/t1.0-9/534974_473084852739486_1853182748_n.jpg?oh=c8dcdc7311701ec6af48f2d633102cf1&oe=559B4F83</a> <br></div><div style="" data-mce-style=""><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br></span></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">and now:</div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><a href="http://www.russoandsteele.com/index.php/media-page/media-press-releases/1241-award-winning-1963-shelby-cobra-csx-2009-offered-at-russo-and-steele-scottsdale-event" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.russoandsteele.com/index.php/media-page/media-press-releases/1241-award-winning-1963-shelby-cobra-csx-2009-offered-at-russo-and-steele-scottsdale-event">http://www.russoandsteele.com/index.php/media-page/media-press-releases/1241-award-winning-1963-shelby-cobra-csx-2009-offered-at-russo-and-steele-scottsdale-event</a><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I know Janet from the IMSA Baby Grand / RS races as we both ran Toyota's. </div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Dick </div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>fot@autox.team.net<br><div><br></div>http://www.fot-racing.com<br><div><br></div>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<br>Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/dlhogye@comcast.net<br><div><br></div><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
