“THE OLD MAN” TO THE RESCUE! Drag Week competitor breaks down and calls for HELP!


Yall already know how much I enjoyed Sick Week last January. Although we had many issues with Billy’s 55, the comradery made the trip so much fun.

So many people stopped to help or ask if we needed parts. So this week while the Hot Rod Drag Week event was going on at our local track, I had an opportunity to pay back the generosity when Charlie Kay from Brooklyn New York broke down in Columbus on his way back from Michigan.

His Big Block Monte Carlo broke a shaft rocker arm and Charlie needed it replaced asap.

With Jegs showing “out of stock” Charlie felt he was completely “out of luck” but thanks to some of his fellow competitors, he was able to get in touch with me. Thanks to our stash of spare rocker arms, I thought I had what he needed. But after driving his 540ci Big Block Chevy over 200 miles with a broken rocker arm, I wasn’t sure the lifter and push rod would be reusable.

Charlie was sitting in 3rd place going into the final day. So, OMG to the rescue!

  1. Ya know Bill ,all this just further solidify why everybody thinks so much of yall! ,for me also I try to give back to the people that has helped me through the years, but while I like to give back ,the thing that's most satisfying to me ,is being in the position to give back because for so many years I couldn't even if I'd wanted to, so when I was finally able to help out someone struggling, I didn't hesitate for a second & I'm just so thankful that it's finally came back around ,instead of feeling like I was always in need or felt like I was taking ,anyways you rock ! #keepemsmokin!
