If you want to see dozens of twins, go to this site called "Two To Go". Great stuff!

My Engine??
Your inclusion of Stan's 2-engine car is astounding to me. I believe that I am the guy who built the rear, 286, engine. It had an Isky 404 cam with radial tappets (same cam as Yates-Mickelson) and was balanced by Granatelli in Chicago. The heads-as I sold it to Stan in 56- were Evans. Are you familiar enough with the car to verify thats the engine? I haven't spoken to Stan for 50 years and would be thrilled if that was a pic of an engine I built in Spfld.

Jim,
No, I can't verify. I haven't seen Stan since the early 1960s when I left for college. I remember the car, but I was more interested in his F/Gas slingshot.
I was looking around the web, and found the following:

Stan was at White Hall, IL with Joe (we used to call him Jody) Hendricks earlier this month. Joe's running an AA nostalgia Fueler. When I was in high school, Joe was running a '40 Ford gasser, and Paul Smith was running a hot rod '55 Chevy. "Pork" John Lawson has crewed for Stan, and Joe and has run some cars of his own. I went to high scholl with all those guys.

I wasn't a member, but I remember the name. I was a bit younger than Stan - graduated from Virden High in '61. The big boys would let us hang around, but we weren't in the "in" group. We were the "Potsies" to their "Fonzies."
My crowd was running 49 - 52 Chevys. Mine was a nosed and decked blue '52 post with a Corvette six, Fenton splits, dual carbs, rolled pans, '55 Pontiac bumpers on the front, mesh/doorknob grille and spiders on reversed-rim wheels. I blew away some small block Chevy V-8s at the eighth mile strip in Springfield. Lucky it was only an eighth. They were coming on fast.
Do you remember a Cadillac-powered white '32 (I think - could have been an A-bone) Ford roadster from the Virden area? Bill "Woody" Woodruff was pretty well known in the local hot-rod circles.Jack

Jerry, I grew up an hour south of Chicago, and am about 5 years younger.
While you are on here, I have to ask a paint question. Who actually came up with the "string art" paint design for your beautiful race cars? I was impressed from the first time I saw them, and would still rank those as one of the best designs I've seen.....and I've been in that biz since '71! Jay Moody
