Yeah, and strangest thing was that my surfing session began by googling "Joe Pisano", as the name was familiar and couldn't remember from where.. The answer was the Mike Dunn Dodge Omni Funny Car that was in many magazines 20 years ago.. Cannot remember how I ended up to selvedgeyard

Yeah, and strangest thing was that my surfing session began by googling "Joe Pisano", as the name was familiar and couldn't remember from where.. The answer was the Mike Dunn Dodge Omni Funny Car that was in many magazines 20 years ago.. Cannot remember how I ended up to selvedgeyard My dads old funny car partner was Tom Ridings and he later drove for Joe Pisano. Joe was owner/founder of Venoliia Pistons. Way BITD Tom Ridings father owned Ridings Cadillac in Long Beach, Joe Pisano was an avid Caddy owner, bought a new car every year from Ridings Cadillac. Back in those days my dad was a mechanic at Ridings before moving on to bigger and better things. He became very good friends with Joe Pisano which lead to friendships with Joe Mondello (Pisano's first driver was Sush Matsubara and he ported cylinder heads for Mondello) , Howard of Howards Cams, Art Carr, Dee Keaton and Mickey Thompson (Dee was Mickeys crew chief) and a host of others. All of these friendships enabled him to drag race on a very small budget. Pistons were mostly free, Mickey gave him a lot of "experimental" parts.............you know, the good old days!

I was working for a grading and paving company and was responsible for the grading of the road course at Fontuckey --- THey had us tied to the weirdest requirements as far a grading that course and they made it SSOOOOO rough. I want to apologize to anyone who has to drive that thing because it is rough. I took the project manager for a ride before it was paved and showed him how rough it was and explained how easily it could be smooth out -- He didn't want to hear it -- said the course had been designed by someone famous and no changes were to be made -- Then it was paved and (I forget who designed it) drove it and was PISSED about how rough it was -- of course the Project Mgr couldn't remember our trip around the course in my truck and it became all my fault LOL ---- --- Gotta love construction and politics LOL

Tracks that get used need to be repaved every 7 years, they aren’t done efing if up. Today my guess Chuckwalla is the smoothest track in California. At 200mph smooth enuf rwy at the Mojave mile. Anyone going? http://mojavemile.com/
