[TPR] Silver State Update

Tue Aug 29 08:14:21 PDT 2023

OMG I remember that PACER at Silver State in 1997 as it was my first year of ORR and I did both the SS and the NORC….Seem to recall we also had a couple AMX’s and a Rambler that year. That museum sounds like allot of fun. We’ll have to visit it the next time we come out to Denver next summer. i’ll wear a TPR tshirt and hat just like I will next month at SilverState.
Yea the duality of man!

Dad had HUGE respect for ANYTHING Jeep after his time w them during WWII!!!  Jeeps/Rambler/American Motors…..all we had while I was growing up!!!!

He even had one of these for plowing snow!!  (I think 1958 FC 170 model )

NOT fast at all.  I think inline 6 cyl flat head.  PLENTY of torque….no speed!!!  I just looked it up…..an Impressive 115 HP!!!!!!!!

BTW:  Rambler Ranchis just three miles from our current house.  ( Elizabeth CO )  Terry has maybe 300 Rambler’s on display inside…..& maybe 500 more outside in trees.  Building after building….all devoted to the brand from it’s earliest years to last ones produced.  MANY rare & one off conversions.  I think a “Beauty’ Un-restored 1918….even leather seats Original & look awesome.  Even some that were special to Mark Donahue.  ( limited edition Matador I think …like 200 miles on it )

He has an American Motors PACER with all it’s stickers from Silver State ORR back in 1997!!  ( Seems like it ran 140 class according to decals )  Certainly modified!!

TOO bad is wasn’t closer to you folks.  He LOVES to have car clubs rent the place out for the day.  It’d be a GREAT meeting place for TPR!!!!!!

Some come from the generation:

‘’If you stop crying, I’ll buy you something!!!”

WE come from:

“ If you don’t stop crying, I’ll give you something to cry about”generation!!!

‘Thanks Dad’….we were learning & didn’t even know how important the lesson would be!!!!

My 1962 Willys pickup cab on a 1968 Willys Wagoneer frame with a 1967 AMC 327 and Turbo 400…

Could probably hit 100, though I don’t recall ever pushing it that far.  It was a screaming engine.  I get kinda sad occasionally when I think I should never have sold it.

My 1949 Willys Overland with the original 4-cylinder would get up to 50-55 on level ground; 45 up Sunset hill.  And that’s all she had.  :)

Here’s the latest on a head count for Silver State.

Right now no Pantera’s will be ready for next month….first time I can ever remember that happening in the last 25 years.

In *other cars* we have Mark&Jim bringing one of Jims spec race cars BMW as I recall (?), Paul in his Viper and Dawg in his C8. We might have to adopt other-other cars in Ely to make up a team🙄🙄
