I love the ingenuity that goes into making speedsters!
Thank you for sharing your photos.

Here are a few more that haven't been posted (I hope).

The red P/U is George Miller's, with a home milled

aluminum OHV head
and other goodies.

Totally bad-a**

Black one with dual rears could smoke all four

The black faux sport coupe/rdstr was a pretty neat li'l hotrod.

Drove over in the cold from NC.

And a dozen or so NICELY restored cars for the purists. Sorry, only roadster shots; all the closed cars were in the covered parking garage

The Black one with 4 rear tires, is Ron Kelly. Anybody know if he had the fastest run on the hill?

kenparker · 10-05-2011, 07:58 PM

Yep, Ron was King of the Hill.

What wheels did Ron use on this Dually set up?

Model A 21 " is what they look like.

Chris in WNC · 10-08-2011, 05:33 PM

Ron's car has 21" on front and the duallys on rear are 19".....

there were a lot of sharp-looking (and fast) cars there!

willowbilly3 · 10-11-2011, 10:42 PM

Must have been a trick spacer plate and longer studs?

I did, looks the same to me. All of the other signs are there, long spokes, round bead edge. The only difference I see is motorcycle tires on the front and the standard 4.50 by 21" tires on the rear.
