It is the site each fall for a reunion of old racers and fans. There is always a varied batch of antique and vintage race cars on display.<br />My friend Verne Trester sold programs there when he was a little kid, and this restored race car the "Black Deuce" was the car that his hero Bobby Grim took many a checkered flag in.<br /><br />I grew up hearing my Grandad telling about the races at Jungle Park, and every time I go there I enjoy thinking about the fact that we were at the same place--just 60 plus years apart.<br /><br />This is a Video of some of the old rides taking a lap on the old race course<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc4KzEaQWyY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc4KzEaQWyY</a>Baron Von Chophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18022258972649338248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543891687791972348.post-86923880320589173402008-09-11T12:39:00.000-07:002008-09-11T12:41:54.681-07:00Name that MILL!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAXyO-NJqa3LNLHiRpkpeMMbgEcT75M-fCZYpH6izYPgwIOtI32R29zra0oMmUdnDTO3w49UnLuz6c8X4xf4mmonWD-1-NqXlr2w7WZnmbuJ9LTS0gTpUr1jhPIaoQgWVeH4kBdrerX8C9/s1600-h/1933_Ford_roadster_engine_001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244850978185457762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAXyO-NJqa3LNLHiRpkpeMMbgEcT75M-fCZYpH6izYPgwIOtI32R29zra0oMmUdnDTO3w49UnLuz6c8X4xf4mmonWD-1-NqXlr2w7WZnmbuJ9LTS0gTpUr1jhPIaoQgWVeH4kBdrerX8C9/s400/1933_Ford_roadster_engine_001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.americantorque.com/game/engine-id/">http://www.americantorque.com/game/engine-id/</a></div><div> </div><div>Take the motor quiz, and see if you are a real motor mouth or just a poser</div>Baron Von Chophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18022258972649338248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543891687791972348.post-39656753060836822012008-09-09T14:01:00.000-07:002008-09-23T18:02:41.706-07:00Different Lookin'----and fast !<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzM1szWGjC6oP1y9_S-oXZhG5ezPC_PUY5Tdr9KQy_05iMiucgKxGyePdRd5DNLsxs_r2ZmDC1iGzLNysWKiZAxtq_lkhdEChWueRUWs7VVcSvA2R3lGSsr0lvYXXzN4vqx_ELQLb7gjpp/s1600-h/493-2-07.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244130167894978930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzM1szWGjC6oP1y9_S-oXZhG5ezPC_PUY5Tdr9KQy_05iMiucgKxGyePdRd5DNLsxs_r2ZmDC1iGzLNysWKiZAxtq_lkhdEChWueRUWs7VVcSvA2R3lGSsr0lvYXXzN4vqx_ELQLb7gjpp/s400/493-2-07.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Kgu3fkDgSa7rQmKo-8LRwWwTxbmjxte06cxsjCqCZKGbB4Ue16XUHeHWm1oIffSzihg12tjt50NUeLyQ7LJCLMRzrpRBM-zpg-E4XkSngiQDNQdaWQga3YfE12YWdmpgETSmwVlRQixj/s1600-h/0801sr_10_z+grand_national_roadster_show+.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244129958597498594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Kgu3fkDgSa7rQmKo-8LRwWwTxbmjxte06cxsjCqCZKGbB4Ue16XUHeHWm1oIffSzihg12tjt50NUeLyQ7LJCLMRzrpRBM-zpg-E4XkSngiQDNQdaWQga3YfE12YWdmpgETSmwVlRQixj/s400/0801sr_10_z+grand_national_roadster_show+.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />These are a couple rear engine roadsters from the Flats.</div><div>The red one is current design, and the blue car is a vintage job.</div><div>These cars have the driver in front of the roadster body, because the engine and gear box/differential fill up the car body.</div><div></div><div>The Speedwagen Roadster has such a short mill/transaxle set up that I hope to keep the driver in the Roadster body.
