Chevy Monza Nascar Modified

This is a wild ride. Built for all out speed, this Nascar Modified was made to compete on the big banked tracks Daytona and Talladega Speedways. With 602 cubic inches, 950 H.P and 930 ft lbs of torque it is a handful to keep hooked up and going one direction. But they did, in fields of 40 cars.

Grand National Triumph

It is great to see Triumph and the Union Jack flying again in Grand National competition. Brian Phillips rides the Bonneville Performance bike well and has put it in the Main. Adding another brand to the field is always exciting and giving the Flat Track fans, many of whom are hard core Triumph fans from way back, someone to watch and cheer for is icing on the cake.

Dodge Bros. Indian Sport Scout

The "Dodge Brothers Racing" Indian Sport Scout ran in the Saddlemen Vintage class at Pomona. Wade Camlin ( Brother of the Late ,Great, Davey Camlin) did the throttle twisting and what a fine job he did on the only hard tail in the place. The track was considered rough by some ,dangerous by others with big holes dotted throughout the corners. Not suited to bikes with the only suspension they have are the seat springs. The Dodge Family have been deeply involved in Flat Track for many decades, racing Indians and Harleys, always immaculate and perfectly prepared.




Tony Dodge rolls his Indian to the pre-grid.
This is the best sounding bike around. No Supertrapps or megaphones here, just straight shotguns. This Hot Rod Indian has a sound of its own. I would describe it as Gabriel's Trumpets blowing through a Fender Amp , Aural Ecstasy !

1970 Trans Am Chevy Camaro Z28

The Trans Am Series was a Golden Era in American Road Racing when the Big Three battled each other on the weekends for sales of their Pony Cars on Mondays. This was the Chevy Factory Team in 1970. GM's answer to Carroll Shelby was Jim Hall, a cool Texan who had wowed the racing world with his Chaparral Sports Cars. With the might of GM behind him ,he still couldn't beat the rough and tumble team of Parnelli Jones and George Follmer in their bad ass Boss 302 Mustangs. All of the top contenders in Trans Am are wicked pieces of equipment, snarling, bellowing bare knuckles brawlers. To see a whole field of these cars go at it in earnest, is an absolute joy to behold.
