Goodguys
6th Del Mar Nationals
Cacklefest.com
working with the Goodguys arranged for a display of Cacklecars
and appropriate era push cars at the Del Mar Car Show. Drawing
on Standard 1320 members for Cacklecars yielded four cars for
a set-up inside in addition to Norm Weekly with the Frantic Four
car and Dennis Prater and his Stellings and Hampshire car which
were setting up outside to do fire-ups. The Ted Cyr Lincoln and
Chris Karamesines original Chizler rounded out the inside display.

Museum. Behind is long-time San Diego area rodder, Ray Lake's

The Shubert & Herbert
recreation owned by Ron Johnson on its custom trailer behind
Ron's El Camino.
Parked behind the Shubert
& Herbert car was the Paradise Alley 1965 Woody car. This
is a very nice piece but was not originally raced as a fuel dragster.
It has yet to make an appearance in a Cacklefest.
Norm Weekly and Dennis
Prater were busy doing fire-ups the entire weekend with the Frantic
Four car and the Stellings & Hampshire car outside the building.

dragsters of Chuck Bayuk and Zimmerman, Witek & Martin flank
the VRA Top Fuel Champion car of Neal & White.
