SS AMX DRAG-ON-LADY

Chris Cary sold traded it to a guy in Arkansas. He got a nice 70 go pack car with 50,000 miles on it. 

Cary no longer has any AMC’s he lives in Florida and drives a nice Red 64 Corvette roadster. 

This is son, I am sure I met you. I am grown 44 these days.

Mike you are particularly right. 

You did sell my dad a new crank and we were all screaming under the tree but it was because the car was so damn loud with the open Doug Thorley Headers!!

Do you not remember the second tack mounted to the engine bay?

My dad did more for AMC’s then just about anyone on the west coast. 

Sorry Charlie, no disrespect, but your memory is mixed up and Mike Maher has and will confirm what I have stated as the actual events of that day. Mike is the guy you mentioned who came over to help. That was ~ 37 years ago and you were a young boy of around 7 years old putting around in a go cart that weekend and you were one of a group of AMC'ers who enjoyed my hospitality and stayed in my home for most of that week.

Mike had his Sears multi-function engine analyzer hooked up under the hood and Cary was pegging the RPM meter off the 6,000 rpm scale of Mike's meter. Mike and I were both at the engine compartment motioning to Cary to cut off the engine when it let loose.

As far as me making the award plaques in my garage, yes I made the awards for the show, but I was not making them at the exact time the motor let loose. Prior to the over rev'ing, Cary had pulled the cross ram for whatever reason and used silicon to seal the gaskets at the ends of the intake, but when it was tightened down, those seals squished out of place. Cary asked if I had any spray carpet adhesive, which I did, and he sprayed the adhesive on those seals and they stayed in place once he tightened down the intake.

Regarding me bringing the Drag On Lady to our show on my car trailer, that is a simple fact and if you need to challenge that further, I have an old photo of the show that shows us unloading her off my trailer at the show.

Now finally, again your memory is mixed up regarding the flat tire on my 70 AMX race car. The show was on Saturday, I raced that 70 AMX the next day on Sunday at the Concord Pavilion in an autocross and took the 1st Place trophy for the quickest time. I was running wide Goodyear Blue Streak Racing slicks on all 4 rims and the side walls of the front tires were rubbing the front suspension under heavy high speed turns and rubbed a hole in one of the side walls that blew out that tire.

Glad to see you are still into the hobby, but you should really loosen up a little on your accusations that are totally unfounded.

PS - I kept the RWB AMC jacket that Cary gave me as a Thank you for my hospitality. I never wore it, as it was to small for me and I recently sold it to another Forum member.
