GTX X X X X X ! ! ! ! ! !

Today I got to work and there's Darrel's 1968 Plymouth GTX factory ordered with 440ci and 4 speed transmission just sitting there with all the windows down. Holy Shit it is so cool ! The first 41 years of my life I pretty much saw this same rusty, GTX running around town with Darrel or one of his boys behind the wheel. Then, when it wouldn't go anymore - it sat outside beside the garage and began to erode away. I'm sure many people tried to buy it. Weeds all around. Then, Darrel got a wild hair and had it restored - and he drives it again. He told me this was an early '68 since it didn't have the turn signals on the top of the fenders yet . . . and I like his quart of oil under the brake pedal to keep the lights off when parked . . . Darrel said . . . "Oh yeah, gotta get that fixed . . . " Baby boomers had some cool shit in their day . . . We get freakin' I Phones and a Prius . . . .

Bump Start Only

Greatest Barn Find . . .

A total of 6 cars went overseas. Only 5 came back. This (6th) super Daytona Cobra was found a few years ago after a father left it to his daughter (and she killed herself). This Cobra was found in the shed. It is worth 4.5 million dollars - from a reported 5K investment. But, it's still a Ford . . .

A fresh restoration . . .

No miles on the clock !

The best Harley they ever made . . .

More Davenport shots . . .

It was a hot one this year at Davenport . . . however it didn't stop Willard from runnin' the dual-engine around the grounds. Great to see Wiley & Co., Rattlecan & Co., Hippy & Co., Matt & Co., Heavy & Co., Geltz, Toby & Steve . . . DA & Cyn (that's her '72 she's wrenchin' on) She picked it up this Summer . . . and it's never been apart - runs like a top ! It was great to hook up again and here what's been goin' on in this world. Hope everyone has a good Fall . . . and see you soon ! -Noot Jr.

Team Hawbaker

Jeff has 3 big wins himself at Davenport. He kinda moved into a new roll the last two seasons by bringin' in some top riders - and giving them the opportunity to run some top-notch equipment. Bake's riders are always smiling at the end of the night . . . since 9 times out of 10, they're on the podium !
Good job fellas - nice to meet ya'll !

Joe Kopp is still fast . . .

As everyone kinda expected - Kopp won. They even started him dead last and he came threw the pack and checked out. He had a fast bike - but, a professional rider is always in a league of their own. There was nothing more for him to achieve - maybe sign some autographs? Joe Kopp has always been first class in my book of racing heros. He's won the dirt TT, short track, 1/2 miles, Miles, cushions and grooves. One of the smartest and most dedicated racers to ever throw their leg over a motorcycle . . . and he did it all from the state of Washington - so, he had to drive for at least for 2 days to get to most of the races. Thanks Joe for showin' up at our Iowa track !
