What's Up

This picture shows one Scott Bowser workin' over his Cragar B Powered Model A at Muroc this past April. Scott put on that maroon paint 39 years ago. This family racecar has done lakes and drag duty all this time. Scott cut his teeth at Pennsylvania dirt tracks like Williams Grove. He's seen guys like Otis Stine, Ted Horn and the rest . Scott is the genuine article, boys. He talks rough and has beer and vienna sausages for breakfast. (At least that's what he served us!). We plan to introduce you to alot of real hot rod men here. The muroc event was less populated this year, and the event was better for it... No pretenders to speak of, just folks who like dry lakes racing, race cars and racing people.

Another big, white headed galoot called Jack Underwood owns the primered '29 whose moon disc, racing tire and quarter panel are shown at the last river city reliability run (pictured). This thing has a real hallock windshield, the nicest running flattie in town, and it is just too cool. Jack knows about all you need to know about this stuff and does no posing, or power parking. He crews at bonnie and lakes meets and just walks the walk. He has hop up style.

These are the kinds of cars and people we want to praise here; if you know one of them - crusty or not - let us know.
