Ever wonder what it is like to drive a 5-speed stick? Now you can take a ride with us. I shift at 7800 and the little 331 hits the finish line at 8300 RPM. And yes, I do use the clutch on every shift, this is NOT a clutchless transmission. This was in May 2013 with our old Long T-handle shifter, since replaced with a new Long pistol-grip shifter which is a major improvement.
Enjoy the ride! – Roger

We love this shot that Mike Gardner took with the front parking lights lit. We love the new grille and the now functional parking lights! Thanks Mike for the memories!
Driver of our '57 Chev from 1972-2019, Vietnam veteran (A Troop, 3/17th Air Cavalry Scout helicopter Line Chief and later Cobra Periodic Inspection team leader), retired ASE rated automotive mechanic. Roger became involved in drag racing during his high school days and after his stint in the Army ran E & F/MP [Modified Production] here in Division 6 before switching to bracket racing when the '57 became obsolete for class racing. He often raced at Puyallup, Kent-Pacific Raceways, Bremerton, Portland & the original Mission, B.C. track.
After September 2026, I will no longer be hosting our entire website. This includes military news, the Silver Spur sites, nor our racing pages. After 27-years it will be time to close it all down. Be well. – Roger
