The photo is mine, taken at the 1969 US Nationals. The Camaro in the background was Ed Hedrick's.

Tim Bishop, class win at the 1969 US Nationals in J/Stock.

Still has this 1957 Chevy sitting in a barn on his farm. Tim is running a new Firebird these days.

Here is a shot of Tim in the staging lanes at Indy. In his typical form, he finished the car while going through tech.



Here is the car after it was lettered.

Glad to see that my photos are getting around. I just sent an 8X10 of this one to Pam.

Some of you may know me from other sites. For those that don't, all the photos I post were taken by me. On a rare occasion, I'll use someone else's and give them the photo credit.

Tom...............Welcome.......

Thanks Ken.

Are the photos that you posted from Delmar yours? During the 1969 season I was still in the Army and stationed at Ft. Riley, KS so I didn't make it to Delmar. The previous two years spent in Ethiopia so I really missed some good racing and never got to see some of the cars.

I was able to meet up with the Hampp's at Indy in '69 for my first national event.

Tom,

Timmy sent them to me in a shoe box about two years ago for some reason or another. I can't remember why, maybe a Strickler connection.

You should hook up with him and ask to scan and post all of the other thousands that he has.

For those on this site, that '57 Chevy is still in Timmy's barn rotting away. Keeps telling me he'll bring it back from the dead but at 65 years young, the clock is ticking away. LOL.

Ken,

Did Al Pfeiffer also have a Black Anglia at one time? Maybe not Black, (Dark Blue?) but I recall seeing him run at Indy at least one year. I used to letter race cars and the lettering style on his car caught my eye. I probably have a picture of it SOMEWHERE.

Dennis.......I don't know.......Al passed away a couple of years ago......His cars that he raced were Show Cars, Al was a Detail Guy before anyone knew what detail was......all the slotted screw heads holding the Aluminum floors in the car had all the slots in the same direction along with everything else.....
Al raced the 40 for a while with a Caddy Engine, then with a Hemi....he then built a 33 Willys around 65 and was very successful with it until he put a Clutchflite in it ...... At the Grove he did a wheelstand leaving the line and flipped the car over on the Roof.....He sold the car and never raced again..........
