Re: Joliet Pics

Dave:

You have taken some great pictures.

I am from the South Suburbs of Chicago, Homewood-Flossmoor area , and  
I am glad to see you have a picture of the AMXPRESS. Garrett is a good  
friend of our family and I have crewed for him several times before  
moving to SC. We actually owned a different  AMX together when I owned  
Imperial Stripaway in So. Holland, IL. In fact I crewed for him at the  
first Route 66 Nationals back in 1998.

A little history on that car. Garrett was hooked on getting an a 1968  
AMX SS/C car after seeing Shirley Shahan, "The Dragon Lady", race hers  
at Route 30 Drag-way in Gary, IN.

When someone several years ago did a list of the 50 SS/C AMXs with  
their vin numbers his was not in the list. He was concerned and then  
he talked to one of the real gurus who worked on the original SS/C  
program. the guy said of course not because his was the original Mule,  
prototype, car. He has done great work with the car. Currently I think  
it is running in SS/MA with a small block American Motors engine. In  
fact when he was making the switch to SS/MA NHRA had no official info,  
Heads-Intake-factoring-flow rates- etc.,  as to that engine because no  
one had ever raced it in SS class before.

Garrett is a stand up guy and GREAT FRIEND and runs a great first  
class operation. I have been in the car when he was running the trans- 
brake and the 348 CI engine in SS/I or J when he launches and it is  
something else.

Also back in 1993? he was runner up at the Spring Nationals in Super  
Stock.

If you or any of the guys or gals run into him at a meet tell him Jim  
and Judy ((The Media Man (Imperial Stripaway-Media lasting Co.) from  
SC says hi.

Here is a link to pics from the NHRA Route 66 Nationals at Joliet, IL
last weekend.  I have a lot more - including pics of the pros - but  
these are more on topic with our group.  The '64 Savoy is said to be  
an original Max Wedge aluminum frontend car.

This is my first try at Photobucket, so let me know if it doesn't work.
