Oshawa, ON: How much of a race car is the driver and how much the<br />

macine? Larry Kerrigan and his ‘33 recently ran a 10.16 ET at 129.3 MPH.<br />

Whlle Kerrigan is the owner, driver and money man, the car is not without<br />

a voice.<br />

Canadian Rick Staples built the car for speed and safety. Sitting on<br />

a square tube race chassis with a 10 pt cage is a 3” chopped Scott Rods<br />

race body.<br />

A 383 c.i. Chevy with AFR 210 heads, a comp soilid roller, .639 lift<br />

cam, Eagle rods, Wirsco pistons, Scat crankshaft, on the inside, is topped<br />

with a Weiand Hi-Ram tunnel ram with dual 660 squiirters.<br />

Power is transferred to the Hoosier rubber mounted on Rodlite<br />

wheels through a Turbo 400 with a Neil Chance 4500 stall converter to a<br />

Moser 9”, 4.86 gears rearend, to wheel spinning 33 spline Moser axles.<br />

ERNESTLY SPEAKING: If you're here, it's because you love the<br />

cars of the <strong>GASSER</strong> Era. Maybe like us, you grew up attending<br />

Sixties drag races where you watched in awe as "Big John" Mazmanian's<br />

gorgeous candy apple red coupe staged against Stone,<br />

Woods & Cook. We got hooked on Gassers at that time and maybe<br />

you did too. You don’t have to own a race car or street rod to be in<br />

the club. All you have to do is love Gassers.<br />

Gasser Magazine is arguably the best member-supported car<br />

club magazine in the world. Members submit the articles and pictures.<br />

Membership includes a membership card, decals and a subscription<br />

“ETs are forgotten, wheelstands are forever.”<br />

Colfax, IN: I bought my ‘55 a month after I graduated high school. It sat in pieces<br />

until 2000 when I decided to go racing. Bracket racing was fun but I wanted more.<br />

I rebuilt the engine and was shocked when the car started wheelstanding. I have<br />

to admit that it was a rush seeing the fans’ reactions. Their appreciation got me into<br />

trying to lift the front wheels further and carry them farther each time.<br />

I’m honored to be chosen for the cover of <strong>GASSER</strong> Magazine and proud to be<br />

a member of the cub. I look forward to seeing you at races in 2019. Don’t be surprised<br />

if you hear me say, “ETs are forgotten, wheelstands are forever.”<br />

It's 1964; a twelve-year-old boy leans in to look over the fender of a dual-quad SS Impala from his Stingray bike. Moments<br />

earlier the big Impala could be seen beating the brakes off of a legit 12.90 drag car on the straightaway in front of his home.<br />

The boy, Jerry Lopez, and the impact of that day would define a lifetime of Muscle cars, Street Rods, Show cars and Drag racing.<br />

Forty-two years later, in 2012, Jerry would embark on his latest creation, "THE RIVER RAT," with the hopes of acquiring<br />

his first nine second ET. slip. The rising costs of classic junkers meant that Jerry would start this build with an affordable fourdoor<br />

sedan. Within the confines of his little, back yard, shop of horrors, the '55 Sedan would get re-fitted with a set of used two<br />

door sedan doors, a one-piece flip front end and a new Speedway straight axle. Wheel well radiation, yellow paint, and a set<br />

of old school slots would finish the visuals.<br />

Pat Musi supplied the Big M Dart block fitted with a set of 13:1 pistons. An 1150 Dominator provides fuel via Victor 565<br />

intake and Brodix 360 heads, which have since been worked over by Mike Stark of CFM Performance. Dale Hagadone of<br />

WHIPLASH Racing Transmissions would supply gear changes by way of a trans-braked turbo 400. A 1957 Pontiac third<br />

member sporting a 4.56:1 gear is used out back and the power is transferred to the pavement with 33x11.5 Mickey Thompson<br />

slicks.<br />

Upon the River Rat's completion, in 2016, the man and his machine would make their debut at the DANCHUCK TRI-FIVE<br />

NATS. Violent starting line launches and huge wheel-stands, that weekend, would solidify The RIVER RAT'S existence as a<br />

crowd pleaser and photographers dream in the world of modern day gassers. Jerry would come to realize one of his dreams<br />

on the last pass of the last evening of that event. Opting to foot brake from an Idle, in hopes of reining in some of the violence,<br />

the back yard hot rodder and his big yellow rat blasted off, and made their way, into the nine-second club.<br />

It’s 2018 and Jerry and the River Rat have traveled the country and raced at today’s premier Gasser events such as The<br />

Meltdown Drags, Hot Rod Revivals, Gasser Blow-Outs and Funny Car Chaos Gasser invitationals. While fulfilling his life long<br />

dreams Jerry says, "My favorite part of my travels are the friends I make and meet along the way." As for The River Rat, it<br />

doesn't speak, it just hangs out on the door, salivating, and waiting for Jerry to saddle up, hit the starter button, and drop the<br />

hammer for the fans.<br />

into this one day event.<br />

Not every gasser that pulls in, is “skyward bound” by pushing the nose into the clouds using a straight<br />

axle, or with the blower popping through the hood. Some of the unique body styles are going back to the<br />

“shoebox” Chevys and Fords from the mid ’50s. We are seeing more Henry J’s kicking up the asphalt,<br />

O F L U S T O D D A R D<br />

I’ve always loved the Willy’s coupes<br />

and hoped that one day I would build one.<br />

Back in the day I wanted to build a pro-street<br />

but as the years passed I decided a gasser was<br />

more my speed. I’d been looking for several<br />

years when I finally came across a 1940 Willys<br />

on eBay. It was a basket case but just what I<br />

wanted. A few people bid on the car but it<br />

never reached its minimum. I kept the seller<br />

contact info and waited for a few months to<br />

contact her.<br />

THE BUY:<br />

I live in Colorado, the car was in Chicago and<br />

the owner lived in Florida. A family funeral<br />

was going to take me to Ohio so I emailed the<br />

seller to see if I could see the coupe on my<br />

way back through the Midwest. I flew into<br />

Chicago and took a cab to meet the brother of<br />

her late husband. When the storage garage<br />

was opened up, I could see that the car<br />

needed a ground-up restoration. It looked like<br />

all the pieces were there. One phone call to<br />

Florida was all it took for me to be the proud<br />

owner of my Willys. It arrived in Colorado<br />

on a flat bed trailer, uncovered and full of<br />

snow.<br />

THE BUILD:<br />

The next three years would prove to be challenging.<br />

The coupe needed a complete frameoff<br />

and rotisserie restoration. The frame was<br />

blasted and then powder coated in a semigloss<br />

black paint for a 60’s appearance. All the<br />

rear end components were stripped painted<br />

and/or chrome plated. The rear end was not<br />

centered in the wheel wells. The front springmounted<br />

axle also needed relocating and<br />

extra gussets added for rigidity.


p h o t o s b y t r e n t s h e r r i l l<br />

THE DRIVETRAIN:<br />

The engine had to be a Chrysler hemi. What else would a Sixties-era Gasserguy want in his Willys?<br />

Mine is an aftermarket block, bored and stroked to 528 c.i. with H-beam rods, JE pistons and a forged<br />

steel crank. The valve train system is spec’d by Ray Barton and includes a roller cam, rockers and triple<br />

springs. It’s got Indy CNC ported race heads and port-matched intakes with a 14-71 billet blower that<br />

has been Teflon lined by the Blower Shop. At the moment it has twin Holley 950s that have been flowed.<br />

My plan is to go to EFI but I need to find an older looking 4-hole system that will accommodate my engine’s<br />

CFM.<br />

The transmission is a 727 Torquflite that has been reworked with all-billet and M300 input and output<br />

shafts. To attempt some ability to drive on the street, the car has a 4200 Stall, 9” ATI converter. Frank’s<br />

in Florida made the ASI 4340 steel alloy driveshaft, U-joints and yoke system. The 9” Ford rear end has<br />

35-spline Mark Williams’ axles with a billet center housing.


p h o t o s b y t r e n t s h e r r i l l<br />

THE BODY:<br />

I wanted suicide doors so the entire doorframe needed to be cut out, redesigned and reinforced. That<br />

meant I needed to have the locks relocated. It took months to make the tilt front end work, get the rear<br />

fender wells radiused and the body straightened and smooth. Inside, I wanted a cleaner looking dash<br />

so we fabricated a new one. I wanted to be able to race in Nostalgia classes so an eight-point cage was<br />

installed and five-point harnesses attached.<br />

The car’s late owner had wanted to paint the car Candy Apple Red like ‘Big John’ Mazmanian’s<br />

Willys. I went with a color ‘Big John’ might not have liked but one he would have recognized when it<br />

was in the opposite lane: Stone, Woods & Cook blue.<br />

THE INTERIOR:<br />

Take a look at the blue Stone, Woods & Cook Willys. It was a race car but the interior could have been<br />

out of a street rod. Their interior was white and blue but I wanted mine to be all-white. I went with a<br />

classic, no frills, clean 2” tuck & roll look. Staying true to the era, I chose a black carpet. I did get creative<br />

and built my own console and shifter housing. In the trunk I put the fuel cell between the rear frame<br />

rails so I would have room for chairs, coolers, etc. when I went to car shows. The trunk’s upholstery<br />

matches the interior.


THE WHEELS & TIRES:<br />

Here we go again. Take a look at some of the early photos of the<br />

blue Stone, Woods & Cook coupe. White walls. Not everyone’s favorite<br />

but if they were good enough for the SWC gang, they were<br />

good enough for me. Completing the look, I went with ET wheels<br />

and Radir ‘pie crust’ dragster slicks. Guys often ask me, “Do they<br />

stick?” My response is always the same, “Hell no! Not in a million<br />

years, but they sure look cool.” To be fair, the M/T wrinkle walls I<br />

run at the dragstrip don’t stick much better.<br />

Years passed and my thoughts turned to the widow who had<br />

sold me the Willys. I wasn’t sure if she would even remember me<br />

but I tracked her down and reconnected with her. I sent her a video<br />

of the car and snapshots as well. She was thrilled and said her husband<br />

would have loved the car. I asked her what she thought of<br />

the interior. I didn’t get the polite old lady response I was expecting.<br />

She said, “My husband wanted all black but I think the white<br />

is bitchin’!” That made both of us laugh. Being able to finish her<br />

husband’s dream project and share it with her was a special moment.<br />

Gasser Appreciation Race<br />

B L U E S U E D E C R U I S E<br />

Chuck & Marcella Lipka’s ‘41 Willys is powered by a blown Olds ~ Eureka, MO<br />

NORWALK, OH: The <strong>GASSER</strong> Appreciation race is our longest running<br />

event and for darn good reason! Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk<br />

Ohio is the best track in the country! My kids want to go there; my wife<br />

has even been there! I know I have said this in the past, but this event<br />

at this venue is such a laid back relaxing weekend. It has the best of<br />

both worlds; Nostalgia drag racing and a huge car show. The car show<br />

brings in 3,000+ street rods and hot rods as well as a bunch of street<br />

Gassers. The track is open to all of them for Fun Runs on Friday and<br />

Saturday. There is also a large manufacturers midway. Speaking of the<br />

midway, this year ScottRods donated a rolling 1934 Ford roadster to be<br />

given to a lucky attendee!<br />

The racers side of the track was packed with three main divisions,<br />

Hot Rod, the NDRL and <strong>GASSER</strong>S; a total of about 500 racers. The<br />

Gassers were divided into two groups: Competition Gas and Nostalgia<br />

Gas. Competition Gas participants got four time trials and ran a handicap<br />

program on Sunday dialing in to the nearest 10th. Nostalgia Gas participants<br />

got three time trials, and then on Saturday evening they ran a<br />

heads up index show for the fans. Each index winner received a trophy.<br />

On Sunday they also dialed in to the nearest 10th.<br />

The winner of Comp Gas raced the winner of Nostalgia Gas for the<br />

Championship. This year we had five rounds of competitors on Sunday<br />

in each Gasser division. The final round in Competition Gas had Jay<br />

Rust in his ‘Bad to the Bone’ ‘55 Chevy from Chesterland,Ohio losing to<br />

Larry Shawberry from Tifin, Ohio in his wild ‘63 Belvedere.<br />

Nostalgia Gas came down to Craig Murry, the crazy Canadian, in<br />

his ‘55 Chevy losing to Steve Tanzella from Beverly Massachusetts in<br />

his clean ‘56 Chevy. The final saw Steve take the win with the Mopar of<br />

Larry Shawberry had transmission issues. Congratuations to Steve for<br />

figuring out the lights after his first run and then taking it to the rest of<br />

the pack!<br />

The Saturday night heads up racing saw some great starting line<br />

antics and with these cars coming out on top:<br />

A/G Ron Doran, Pataskala, OH ‘40 Willys<br />

B/G David Bowen, Butler, PA ‘33 Willys<br />

E/G Freddy Wilkerson, Kenton, OH ‘63 Corvette<br />

F/G Dale Healy, Marengo, OH ‘65 Chevy II<br />

G/G Mike Anderson, ‘57 Chevy<br />

The largest class was D/G with four rounds of competitors. If you’ll<br />

notice, Willys took the first four classes. Pretty cool for the Mid America<br />

Willys Club!<br />

Thanks to all who participated in this year’s Blue Suede Cruise.<br />

With the growing interest in Nostalgia Gassers, we expect an even bigger<br />

group of racers next year. See you there!<br />

C A P T A I N A M E R I C A ! by SLICK ROGERS<br />

NINETEEN STORIES UNDER THE MISSISSIPI<br />

in a secret government laboratory, geneticist Dr. Daniel James<br />

Lopez Sr. headed up a collaboration of world-renowned physicists<br />

to apply the theories of the space and time continuum to his secret<br />

project, CAPTAIN AMERICA.<br />

OK, I’m lying. Southern Louisiana’s Danny Lopez isn’t a scientist<br />

in a secret underground laboratory, but CAPTAIN AMERICA<br />

is his American dream. Danny is a hard-working air boat pilot. His<br />

devoted racing crew includes wife Rachel, daughter Allison, and<br />

sons Daniel Jr. and Cody. Danny’s ‘collaborators’ are fellow drag<br />

racers who apply both science and physics to their chosen sport.<br />

Lopez says the Captain’s look was inspired by the red, white,<br />

and blue paint scheme of Tommy Killingsworth’s ‘MISSFIT’, along<br />

with the design of Nick Shervino’s, ‘IRON MAN’. With the swab of<br />

a Q-tip, he captured enough Gasser chromosomes to turn his mildmannered<br />

Oldsmobile into the patriotic superhero you see here. A<br />

dropping from the Lopez’s, ‘RIVER RAT’ resulted in enough DNA<br />

to reproduce radiused wheel wells and a Gasser stance. OK,<br />

maybe I’m lying about the rat droppings, but you get the idea.<br />

The ’56 Olds Rocket 88 two-door sedan utilizes a stock chassis<br />

that has had the X removed and rails boxed. Upfront he added<br />

a rectangular tube front section connected to a 1956 GMC axle and<br />

stock steering. The body is all steel except for the handmade fiberglass<br />

trunk. It tips the scales at a fighting weight of 2900 lbs.<br />

Power comes by way of a punched out 455 Oldsmobile big<br />

block, with just a tad over 12:1 compression and a non-roller hydraulic<br />

Mondello stick sporting .576 lift and 308 degrees duration.<br />

Box stock Edelbrock heads, and an Edelbrock Victor intake do the<br />

heavy breathing, while a 1050 Quick Fuel supplies the propellant.<br />

Cragar wheels on all four corners are mounted to a set of 28 x 4<br />

front runners, and 33 x 12 slicks that take their orders from a 4.56:1<br />

rear gear. The Turbo 400 is equipped with a 5200-rpm stall and<br />

was built with an Anti-Gravity button by WHIPLASH transmissions.<br />

CAPTAIN AMERICA reached its goal of a sub seven second<br />

pass on it’s second journey to an 1/8th mile track. A nice, wheels<br />

up, launch against an arch rival yielded a 6.84 ET at 97 MPH win<br />

light. Plans for the further development of the Captain include<br />

going all Oldsmobile by swapping out the nine-inch Ford third member<br />

for a 1957 9.3 Olds rear end.<br />

CAPTAIN AMERICA!<br />

A super guy’s super car. God Bless America!<br />

Slick Rogers<br />

455 Oldsmobile big block, 12:1 compression, hydraulic Mondello<br />

cam , box stock Edelbrock heads, and an Edelbrock Victor intake.<br />

Captain America’s super crew includes wife Rachel, daughter<br />

Allison and not seen in this photo, sons Danny Jr. and Cody.

ERNESTLY SPEAKING: Want to get<br />

your car in the magazine? What works<br />

for me is you telling your story in your<br />

own words. Yeah, your photos are worth<br />

a thousand words, but they don’t tell your<br />

story. We didn’t get to where we are with<br />

cars without having our own ‘car history’.<br />

For some it involves a high school hot<br />

rod. For others there maybe the sweet<br />

smell of burning rubber at the local drag<br />

strip. Your story is your story. So tell<br />

YOUR story.<br />

Tech Stuff: You can fill out a tech<br />

sheet on your car if you want, or just write<br />

down what’s important to you.<br />

Photos: Pay attention to the background.<br />

Your eyes maybe focused on<br />

your car, but the camera sees it all, including<br />

that ugly whatever behind your<br />

car. OK, other hints include: Leave plenty<br />

of space around your car. Don’t crop incamera.<br />

I’ll take care of that in Photoshop.<br />

Camera Angles: Front, Side, ¾<br />

from Front, Engine, Interior, etc. Closeups<br />

on cool custom details can add to the<br />

article. If you can take an aerial shot, go<br />

for it. Same if you want to get down low<br />

and even use a wide angle lens if you<br />

have one. If you have flash on your camera,<br />

use it to fill in shadows in daytime<br />

shots.<br />

Digital: Shoot at as high a resolution<br />

as possible. What works for the web<br />

doesn’t work for a printed magazine. If<br />

you’re email the photos, send them one<br />

at a time if necessary, but as large a file<br />

as you can. It makes a big difference. If<br />

you can put your photos and a Word docstory<br />

on a disk, go for it.<br />

Xerox copies of photos will NOT<br />

work. Same with those of articles printed<br />

in newspapers or magazines.<br />

That’s pretty much it. Take the photos,<br />

write a page or so on your car and<br />

you. When we have space, we’ll run all<br />

appropriate articles. ERNEST<br />

<strong>GASSER</strong> LEGEND ‘OHIO GEORGE’ MONTGOMERY<br />

Dayton, OH: As a young man, George Montgomery lived for cars. He<br />

came of age in the classic era of the hot rod and fully immersed himself<br />

in the car culture. George Took car building seriously and went on to become<br />

one of the pioneers of the sport of drag racing.<br />

From a little shop in a suburb of Dayton, Ohio, he built and raced<br />

cars that led the world in innovation and craftsmanship. George was a<br />

leading participant in the famous “Gasser Wars” match races of the 1960’s<br />

where he earned the moniker “Ohio George,” while driving his iconic 1933<br />

Willys to victory after victory. The Gasser Era was one of the most colorful<br />

chapters in racing history and George was one of the most successful<br />

racers of the time.<br />

Always in innovator, Montgomery built the groundbreaking Malco<br />

Gasser Mustang in 1967 and followed it with the revolutionary Mr Gasket<br />

turbocharged Mustang a few years later. After retiring from racing in 1985,<br />

George became one of the most successful engine builders in the country.<br />

He is the recipient of the National Hot Rod Association’s most prestigious<br />

awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award, and is listed<br />

as one of drag racing’s top 50 all time drivers.<br />
