The pipes "peeking" out of the fender looks mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone ever cloned this car?

its not how fast you go, its how you go fast.

thanks ted, what a great photo ...have read everything available (?) about karol's trip into yblock history and am amazed each time at what this man accomplished.

He's trying real hard to keep his focus on the race! Nice picture. Notice the extensive tool kit from his support vehicle. Compared to today with spares for almost everything in their trailer including engines and body parts. This is grass roots racing! Chuck

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Great post Paul. Thanks. Keep looking; they are still out there. I was there but did not see his run ( but I heard it!). BTW, One of the S.D. Vesco Bro's set some records that year.Wj

If you get a chance to or have read it and want to refresh your memory of Karol's accomplisments. Google "Karol Miller and Ray Brock". Ray did an excellant write up on Karol's skills with a y-block and that it took to compete as engines got bigger and it was written in 1962.

Back in the 50'-60's like NASCAR Bonneville coupes and sedans were basically stock especially on the outside let alone the very sparce safety requirments.

Actually today in the Production classes there is not much room to fudge original body parts unless they have factory #'s. There were no production classes at Bonneville back then. Funny thing if Karol would have left the rear shackles alone and heated the front coils to drop the nose 3-4" who knows what he would have run.................Anyway great reading

Also looks to me like the rear is raised as in the shackles reversed or maybe the front dropped a little.
