Tom I found your next car!! Bob Hamilton AFX

Great stuff Bill! Like Andy said...is there a car you haven't been around?

That's a very cool and neat altered wheelbase H-M Mustang but it really needs the correct magnesium Americans to replace those new style aluminum versions. They look terrible on there.

-----Mark,,,Didnt look all that close at the pics before I typed up that last note. Wheels do look way bad, dont they. Last pics I saw a couple of years ago had the car in carburetor livery too. The injection is cool! Its like someone finally saw the same pic I gave Tom and wanted the car more authentic. Wonder if the injection is all computered up???.........Bill S

I recently received a copy of the Hamilton's family home movies, which contained some neat footage of this car racing, as well as Red Alert.

The neatest part of the video has to be where Bob is shown surprising Dorothy with RA, and then showing her behind the wheel. I had wondered if RA as a gift for Dorothy was actually a true story, well, it appears so.

-----I think thats my favorite picture of Bob with any one of his racers. As mild and laid back a guy as he was, he was a fierce competitor. Had he ever gained any real backing (factory?) he would have gone a long way in drag racing.
-----Also have some more pics for you, Tom.........Bill S

-----Check out the rosin (spelling?). Tom, Do you have the pic from the front with the injection scanned??? The guys would like that one. By the way, Tom, Im bringing you an early Christmas present.......Bill S
