Chilly Willy Thanks

Castrol Lubricants for the R40 engine oil. Smells like Nitro. Protects and resists against the wear of merciless driver abuse. Every drop is precious.

Tim and Trish Biro of RPM Classifieds. Their magazine has it all. The coolest articles on racecars, events and race car parts.

Pat at Co-Auto, supplied all the beautiful rich paint and paint supplies for free to be part of this historical project. Christopher spent many hours in the booth laying down the paint job with a flick of the wrist.

Without Carol Straus, this car would not have been so finely detailed. As of day one in Bert's racing career, this fine lady collected and kept all pictures, news clippings, time slips from so many different drag strips, preserved in two albums. We examined these books with magnifying glasses so nothing was missed in order to replicate this car to the finest detail.

A special thankyou to all our sponsors: Brock Ford Sales, Buffalo Clutch Company Company Inc., OCF Ontario Competition Fuels (Pro Racing Fuels), Thermo-Bond Flame Hardening Ltd.

Last but not least, to all the people who have given interest in the rebuilding of this this historic Canadian drag car by hunting for ex Chilly Willy parts, old movies, pictures and stories. We thank you!
