Canada Jeff Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hello all. I'm wondering if anybody out there can recomend a site or a book with some good chassis photos of the real car, either from the 60s or the recent restoration. I've spent some time googlin' but have only turned up a few, small photos that don't have the level of detail that us model guys like to see. Any recomendations? Thanks in advance.

Canada Jeff Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Holy ######! I just did some more googlin' and discovered that the custodians of the car intend to bring it to Bonneville in August for Speed Week! Not to run, mind you, but to fire up the engines and celebrate the 50th anniversary of Mickey's first run in the car. I'm going to speed week this year, so I can take some photos of my own!! What luck! Funny how these things work out. I'll have to buy another memory stick just for the Challeger I pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Jeff.I wish I could go with you.From the pictures I've seen over the years I can only guess as to just how vast the area really is.Mickey Tompson to me was one of my heroes I'ts a damm shame he had to go when and for that matter why. Did they ever find his killer? In closing when you go there humm a few bars from the song "Miles from Nowhere for me, itt'll make sense when ya get there.

samdiego Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) They did nail the guy responsible. It took years but they did. I just saw an older CSI that mirrored the case. Two guys on bicycles doing a professional hit for a former partner. Edited July 8, 2008 by samdiego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eshaver Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Thank you Sam for that information. Mickey was a helluva marketer. I just wish he had stayed with us longer, I miss him still. Ed Shaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
