I was gonna mention that car,but someone acted faster than I did and now it's out west...That lucky stiff...:TU: :TU:
Hi guys, I'm still around and do check this site once in a while. The car has not been uncovered or left the trailer since the 2005 Grudge Race against Ollie and the California boys. Both my kids play so many sports that we don't have the time to play anymore. The motor that went 9.45 in Kentucky and a tire spinning 9.80 in Ohio at the Grudge race had the lifter problem and a cracked main web. We took it apart to step it up and be ready for the 06 races and found the main web problem and stopped right then. There was no girdle on it. The block was scrapped. All of the remaining parts were just sold to a new Buick kid at the machine shop last week. He got a good deal on some good stuff. The car is still up for trade for a 67 or 70 GS and the trailer could be part of the deal. I am considering selling the package if I don't find a trade sometime soon. I do still have the stock rod 13-1 GSE motor on a stand. Take care Happy Thanksgiving to all of you Gary Laughlin
Anyone remember this car? It used to belong to Bob Lindquist, it was raced in the Buick vs. Hemi Round 2...about 1987. Fred Catlin built the stock appearing engine and if memory serves me correctly, I think the car now sits in a muesum in PA. Enjoy!
I've got a whole drawer next door filled with a BUNCH of old photos of the Wagon, Nobody's Fool and Rich's Coil Operated car. If I ever have the time someday I'm gonna scan em to the website, pretty neat to look through em. :beers2: He brings it to the BOP car show at the Pavillian's off of Indian Bend and the 101 in Aprilish (whenever the show is). You guys referring to this? :kodak: I got a page back up on the site for the wagon that has 2 videos at the moment, I'll add more vids and pictures over time. http://www.taperformance.com/TAWagon.htm

Guys, There was a 69-70 Green Electra that ran at BG. No It wasn't the big race car, but it was alot of fun to watch go down the track. Thumper was the first Stage 2 car I had seen.
Thanks,Al for the great pics of Thumper and the engine bay.Iron stage2's a B4B ,KBmark4 cam and 1000 thermo quad,ahhh,old school but still ran like hell. gary
C'mon Gary, you know you'd like to "re-live" it a little bit. You still have some old parts....how about Thumper II ?
That pic in the parking lot is at the Ontario meet,the lady with her back turned is Lisa Mongeon, and seated in the lawn chair is my wife Sandy.We were so much younger back then, gary
