a henry J and a willys fight it out

[Hooley]

Well, Sat was our last regular race of the season. Sam and I went side by side 3 times . The first 2 were time trials. They  were heads up with a Pro tree light. The Henry J took the Willies both times. But their is rumbling of the Willies having to slow down for a high speed shimmy. Those are scarey. When it came to competition elemitions Sam and I both went out 1st round. We went together to buy back in. The next round was the Willies and the Henry J again except this time with a dial in.  Yep, Sam took a good clean win. Just good hard racing. Congrats Sam. Does this tie it up or is one of us a head? Any way we have had a great summer of drag racing. Congrats to Robert for his win. He took all the marbles home.  
  We have some Nostalgia racing left to do before Winter.
  Thanks for tuning in.   Hooley

I love the J. Back in 1959, my 1st car  was a Henry J. I ended up putting in a engine and trans out of a wrecked 57 Golden Hawk. I went in the Army, and left it at my parents house. My Brother destroyed it while I was in Korea.

My Wife and I went on our 1st date in the Henry J. Would not mind having another one if I stumbled onto a good deal.
