Nice Job Rick.....
I wanted to show all of you who check out my blog and thankyou for doing so, as I try to keep the site as updated as possible, but when the racing season goes cold, I have to become creative in another way to burn up some of the energy. Surfing on the web I came across Krazy Ricks Chilly Willy Gasser. I opened up the site and low and behold was a gallery of pictures from all sides of the car with the 1967 green and yellow combo war paint. I had to look at it closer, something seemed funny and I realized it was a model. Holy smokes!!!!! Is this ever neat.You never know whats out there until you look. He stated in his posting that we met at one of the local tracks and that he sifted thru my collection of pictures that I display and loved the paint scheme so much that he recreated a model of it. Well some of you may not know, this is the way the car looked before the blue paint job that we currently run. Rick has done an amazing job of just that. This was Berts first year with the Willys and it had a junk yard engine for power. The purchase price of the car was $1200.00 and his wife ended up buying it for his birthday. What a lovely gal. Burt said he found the original sales slip the other day when he was looking through some stuff. Anyway, the car never went as fast as he would have liked it to, but Straus was able to keep the car very consistant and new he could win some races. Wasnt till the next year that he bought another engine which had much more power from a well know altered called “Percy Also” who changed his engine to a Hemi. Heres the link to Ricks forum posting. Check it out and also another new page I have added in the pages section to show off your hard works called “Model Builders Corner” ………Dyno http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php?t13813.html

Go Back In The Day
The famous and beautiful Milan dragway outside of Detroit Mighigan will be hosting the first ever nostalgia show and shine event on Sept 26. This one day event arleady has a large booking and should be quite the show. We are counting down the days till we get there. The Can/Am Gassers will be in full swing with a larger than nornal American gasser turn out. Deric Knowe on the Candian side who runs the “Hyper Henry” said to me earlier “We gonna have to work real hard to take them out. Theyre good racers you know.” Ya I know Deric, they beat us last event. So stay tuned and see what happens. Have you seen the latest video on the Chilly Willys in Lancaster New York? Its on YouTube courtesy of Frank Kunkel and it was a wonderful ride. By the way its on my video page too. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G4EFEGHbUM Dyno
OSCA Fall clasic at the Bend….Sept, 15, 09
Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Imagine seeing this on the street
Last weekend we hit the Bend for one day of racing. The stars of the OSCA realy let it all hang out. Nice weather, dedicated and efficient staff members, awsome strip, clean grounds and fast cars made it another event to plan for next year. Special thanks to Mike Bennet and Rob Barnes of the OSCA for the invitation and treating us ”Candian Gassers” very nicely despite theyre buisy day. Many thanks. We ran the car twice in the 1/4 mile and went 9.86/ 128 mph first pass, (9.68/ 139 mph second pass setting another personal record.) P.S. dont tell the competition……Dyno
