OK, last one and i'll stop boreing you guys . . . . this has been a cool trip down memory lane . . . . This one's for our fearless former DKK pres. . . . .
If there is something that you cannot bore us they are the period pictures and stories, if there is more (your car, DKK, events, other cars..) and you have time please do post them  At that time I was a kid growing up thousands of miles away and the only "contact" were the U.S. magazines we were subscribing, it's just too cool to see those colours, "pro-street paintjobs with graphics" etc. from Sweden two years ago:  |

Mike, it's so cool to see pictures of SF when it was a street car. Gives a lot more life to the car. Please don't stop posting old photos and telling us old stories! Thanks for taking time, Georg BTW, SF looks the same from the outside, but Helge redid more or less everything underneath. [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] |

What an awesome thread  Thank ya Mike and don`t stop telling those good storys and showing pic`s from back then! I totally dig SF. Everytime I see this car I discover more cool and complex details... Here are some pic`s from the mild restoration Helge did to the car. His main intention was to leave the shell how it was.With alle the little scratches and here and there and dents (race scars). The underneath of the car was carefully restored.The overall condition of the car was very nice if you mind that it was unrestored. Helge really wanted (and did) to keep everything how it was back then when the car was running in US. Some club members me included always teased Helge about the very furry front carpet and that a race car doesen`t need carpet up front. But Helge whitstanded (luckily) our necking. He leaved the carpet as the car was running back then WITH the carpet. You get the idea... On many other details Helge even walked the old/original way and only did some mild updates. A real cal-look nerd as many of us  Helge is running his own parts buisness now. So give him a call if you need some parts or are searching for some special parts. And check out the coulor sheme of his website and buisness cards: http://www.helge-ohmes.de/     Have fun, Felix |

Very cool dash in Stage Fright. He still has some of our early Phoenix Bug-O-Rama dash plaques in it. Makes me nostalgic!

Hi George, I got the nickname from Jeff Shearer (the guy who painted Stage Fright) when I was a kid. I was about eleven years old and Jeff was about six years older than me and he used to date my sister. I was into BMX bikes at the time, and every time he would see me, I would be doing wheelies and stuff so he started calling me that. I had Jeff paint my bike which was really cool! It was whit in the front then faded to candy apple red in the back. Dennis Jones did some pinstriping on it and I anodized all the components red. I have some pictures somewhere, but I did find the old helmet which Jeff also painted to match. Here's the visor . . . . . |

Oops! Your right Mike. My Bug-O-Rama sign was well out in front of the starting line lights. Good catch. Glad to see you are still racing. We enjoyed having you and the Stage Fright car at our events back in the day. In fact, I think one year (if I remember right) we awarded the car "Best Looking Drag Car" as well. You looked a lot younger back then. I fact, we all did. :-)
Rick M
Yep, you are correct Rick. I think we won a total of five "best appearing" awards. 1988 was when we got the one from you guys at the phoenix Bug-O-Rama. Yep, I still have 'em! . . . . I am (and was) very proud of those awards because the car was still winning them after years of racing. "Stage Fright" appeared on the cover and was featured in Chrome & Flames magazine in May of 1989, five years after the car was built and raced! |
