    Vintage engines-Ohio George

     



    I thought this Engine Builder article about Ohio George and vintage engines must be of some interest here:

    artical has a few mistakes-----in1955 he put an 1959 Caddie in---

    Nice reading , but these articles should of been proof read before publishing--

    I really have fond memories of those years and am grateful that I met, knew and raced against some of those guys----

    No, Jerry, that just shows how far ahead of his time he was.


    Interesting article. I grew up reading about Ohio George and seeing his gassers in all the magazines. Nice to know he is still alive and involved.

    He's too cantankerous. He always was a perfectionist, both the 34 and the 33 were and probably still are show quality. I flagged him a few times and if I he thought I'd screwed up he'd sure let me know.

    Never meant it to be derogatory as he was one of my early hero's which made it difficult to flag him. His cars, like yours, were both beautiful and ran like the wind.
