| 07/03/06 | Tom Berry | Half of the famous buick powered candy cane racers, teamate to Wally Dallenbach Sr. (also cousins). |
| 07/04/06 | George Perkins | Check out that whitewall. The answer to what the name of those things is would have made a good trivia question. I've really enjoyed these latest pics from Wall Stadium. Studying the trailers/tow bars has been interesting too. |
| 07/26/06 | Jim Murrow | Those whitewalls were called "Port-a-walls" You just broke down the bead on your blackwall, inserted the port-a-wall lip, and pumped the tire back up. The bead held it on, (sorta), . A coat of glue on the sidewall before installing the port-a wall helped. |
| 07/26/06 | 3Wide | Looks like they did a great job on 45% of the tire! |
| 02/02/07 | George Pavlisko | This is the car Richie put up higher than the light poles on the backstretch at Old Bridge N.J. There is a picture of that because I had it until my divorce. Was purchased at the photo stand in Old Bridge. |
| 11/07/08 | Bill Van | #35b at the Garden State Classic perhaps? Great photo of
this car. The two #35 coupes were bright white with (I think) red trim, the
Buick engine blocks were yellow & chrome and all of it just plain gorgeous
and entirely too clean. If memory serves it's a Buick with Hilborn injectors
on methanol, common Modified fuel for the day. The other car was Wally
Dallenbach's #35a, also with a Buick, but with a GMC supercharger of all
things. Many laps and dollars spent proving that the GMC blown nailhead
Buick wasn't really the hot setup for a small track like Wall. I've never asked either Massing or Dallenbach to confirm, but the blown car didn't appear to be very driveable. I understand big GMC blowers tend to "windmill" and carry you into the corner, so one has to let off pretty early. Mr. Massing? Mr. Dallenbach? Anyone? AND Is the lack of glue why my port-a-walls didn't stay on? |
| 03.11.11 | mark tresch | in the late 60"s i worked in new brunswick at mark auto body, and one of the bodymen there then was a guy named alfi klein, he himself did all the paint and all the body repairing on richie"s 35b and his cousin wally "s 35a racecar, he shared many true racing stories and a lot of pictures with me , he died at a young age from a heart ailment, those cars too, always were shiny and fast at old bridge and wall. |
