Randomly Speaking Is it just me or? Jotted down a few of these on a napkin while trying to figure out why a waitress can’t remember who gets which drink for the third time... Is it just me or... do you think the convenience gas stations price a cup of coffee at 99 cents, hoping you’ll drop a one dollar bill and walk away, cause it’s just not worth waiting 10 minutes to get a penny back! Is it me or... every time you see the car in front of you throw a cigarette out, don’t you want to follow that car and grab them by the ear and drag them back to the spot where they threw the butt from and make ‘em pick it up... but then you realize they might be packin’ a weapon? Is it me or... waiters and waitresses who go thru the “Hi-my-name-is and-here-are-thespecials”, never can remember who gets the diet Pepsi and who gets the 3 waters. Is it me or...after all the garage sales I’ve done or been a part of, is it really necessary to work 4 hours to put price tags on items only to have shoppers move the tags to other items and then ask you if you’d take less? Is it me or...the same people who couldn’t write thank you letters or thank you cards, can’t write thank you emails either. Is it me or ... at what age do we start grabbing all the sweet ‘n low, butter packs and cream from the restaurant tables as justification of an expensive meal.
Is it me or... when every kid in America ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch, how come it’s never offered at restaurants? Is it me or.... is the hardness of butter in direct proportion to the softness of the bread? Is it me or...when you can’t find a single TV show to watch from the 300 channels on your cable, you can always find a “Law and Order” or a “Criminal Minds” to watch. Is it me or ... is there some sort of spoon shortage going on? Just about every restaurant I go to lately only wraps a fork and a knife in the napkin. The spoon can’t be more of a lethal weapon than the knife can it? Does it cost more to wash a spoon than the other 2 utensils? Is there a spoon union and they’re boycotting restaurants? Is it me or....when you drive thru a fast food joint and tell them .... “I’d like a small coffee and that will be it!” Do they have to respond with.... “Does that complete your order?” Is it me or... when you’re in a hurry to get someplace the “Hurry Police” have secretly positioned construction pylons, increased railroad traffic, or put a 93 year old grumpy-ass driver ahead of you who “putt-putts” along at 5 mph less than the speed limit ‘causing you to get a ticket for “bobbing and weaving” when you really haven’t had any alcohol, but by-god after the police let you go you will be hitting the next bar! Is it me or ... come garbage day are you mesmerized by the new robotic garage pickingcontinued on page 9

nother year and another new batch of Top Ten Winners. The Cruisin’ Times Top Ten are a way for the car community to give back to all those cruise-ins, car shows and dining establishments who have rewarded us. A way to say “Thanks for giving us a place to play!”
Since we get a tremendous response about various events, we have the perfect research tool, right in our laps and that’s unsolicited opinions, good or bad, which wind up being the best form of communication. Obviously there are more shows, cruises and events around the area. Only you can keep us notified of these. When you stumble on one you think qualifies for the a particular Top Ten category, let us know and we’ll put it in the hopper for next year. Until then, have a Cruisin’ Planning Party with your buddies during the winter and add in some of the Top Ten for some new places for 2017.

top #4 on the Lucky 7 tour was Arby’s in Salem, Ohio. Their moto is “IF IT HAS WHEELS, BRING IT!”. Its a Food Bank Benefit and a car cruise all rolled into one from 4pm-9pm but we saw people rolling in to get the good spots hours before it started! It was a hot one in mid july, but we saw at least a couple hundred show up to the cruise. Last year they raised over 800,000 lbs of food for area food banks! They’re cruisin every Saturday night from 5:00pm to 9:00 pm starting May 2017 through October 2017.

his ‘71 Javelin AMX, has been on my bucket list since before I had a bucket list, not even sure I have one now. Owning a Javelin has been a dream for at least 10 years, as I owned one of these cars back in 1971 and loved it. I am sure we all have “our car” maybe not our first car, but the car from our past with all the memories of the good times of our youth. For me it was my Javelin. The love of beautiful cars, the lines and the paint jumped out as art. I went to Timken Vocational High School in Canton, Ohio and I decided to take the Autobody training class. I was able to paint my very first car in that class when I was 16. It was a 1961 Plymouth Valiant. How many 26 Cruisin’ Times ~ January 2017
of you remember that one? I ended up getting a job in a body shop working on and painting Ramblers. I still remember having my bosses brothers ‘69 Javelin in our shop. It had this unbelievable paint job, just crazy colors. After that I was mostly about painting and especially liked custom paint. I had joined the Army and finishing up Air Traffic Control School in Fort Rucker Alabama with no car. My dad agreed to co-sign for me so he sent me to the Volkswagen dealership. I see a red one that seems OK so I head home to talk it over with him. Hold everything! What is that on the show room floor? As I am heading home I saw a 1971 Javelin on www.cruisintimesmagazine.com

the floor. I sat in it and was blown away. It was silver metallic with blue interior and split blue vinyl top that made it look like it had T-tops. It was a 304 with an automatic, a/c and p/s. Well, bye bye VW. Hello Javelin. After some convincing my dad. I drove it back down to Alabama for the remaining time of my service. I still owned my Javelin when I got out of the service in ‘73. I came back to Ohio and started some college classes and ended up meeting my future wife. I would walk her to her car after class and we would stand by our cars and chat, me leaning up against my Javelin. We got married and had a three week www.cruisintimesmagazine.com
adventure of a honey moon in that car. I had the Javelin for a few years more and moved on as most of us do. Between the time I sold my Javelin and the time I acquired the one I have today, I had about 50 other cars. Even though I still own my ‘68 Mustang after 35 years, I have always loved my Javelin. As the internet became more loaded with vehicles I started seeing really nice Javelins. I found some show quality ones but I was not ready to spend that type of money. I found some beaters, but it had been over 35 years since I had worked on a car. I was in my early January 2017 ~ Cruisin’ Times 27
60’s and was afraid I would not get it done and be able to enjoy it, so I kept looking. One aspect on the hunt was that if I was going to get my dream car back, I wanted the performance model. The big boy version is a Javelin AMX that came with a 360 or a 401, with an automatic or a Hurst 4 speed. After a while I finally found a clean 1971 AMX four speed with a 401 from California. Only problem, the auction is ending in 10 minutes. With no time to research I go for it and win. I was worried it was a scam so long story short, I backed out of the deal. Back to the hunt. I find another from New York and the price was about a third of the last one. It was exactly the same color. It was a Hurst four speed with a 360. It was good enough to me so I bid, I got it and it was delivered. Now the real fun began. The Javelin had good bones, interior had been upgraded but mostly original. Body was solid and it ran good. I was so glad to get one at the price and the style I wanted. I started to look for a restore shop and eventually tracked down a shop that got my interest. Pete’s classic coach works, in Newburgh, Ohio. Talking with Pete I discovered that 95% of his work was Porsche. The other 5% were special interest for him. He was intrigued with an AMX. He had a spot and was able to get it in that fall. It was tough finding Javelin parts. A few websites had minimal parts selections but lots of what I wanted was unavailable. Every now and then I would score a part and would drop off parts to Pete. Picking a color, I believe, is everyone’s crowning glory. I went through about 10 different colors before I settled. When I got the car it was butterscotch. A very 71 ish American Motors color, AMC ran ad’s with this color. In the end I decided a good color of original was better. As with everyone, the project keeps growing. I go to see the progress and they ask, do you want to rebuild the engine while its out? “Well, while its out, sure!”. I finally picked up the Javelin I had wanted for over 10 years and had not driven one since 1975. I have been overwhelmed with the enjoyment of finally owning and getting to drive this car. I am new to cruise-ins and car shows, but this summer has been a blast, the folks that enjoy these cars are the greatest in the world. I must share, that I have always felt being an AMC guy, I knew I was a little off center in the car world and I get ripped a lot from my friends, but to have this car appreciated outside of the AMC family was exciting. My wife and I now try to make a cruise or car show a date night. We are meeting a lot of great car owners and getting to talk cars as well as music and other blasts from the past. 28 Cruisin’ Times ~ January 2017
A little about these cars: There were only 2054 71 Javelin AMX made. Sold new for $3,432. The 360 engine was designed and built by American Motors and has 285 hp. Javelin AMX was driven by Mark Donahue and won the Trans Am series in 1971 ,1972 and 1976 www.cruisintimesmagazine.com

Do-It Yourself
Detailing
by: Dave Mallie
A Quick Tip to Enchance Your Detail Game.. Do you have a problem with tire dressing overspray getting on the body of your vehicle and keeping it off your rims? It wasn’t until 15 years ago that I learned the greatest trick for applying tire dressing, without getting overspray on my vehicle and I would like to share that with you today. In the detail shop, most people use spray on tire dressings and there is nothing worse than getting ready to take a car back to the dealership and seeing tire dressing overspray all over the sides or having to rush to get it off the paint before a customer comes back to pick up their vehicle. By following a few easy steps, I can show you how to never have this happen again and it all starts with washing the vehicle. For this you will need 3 towels or cloths. I prefer 1 cotton and 2 microfiber cloths. The cotton cloth will be for the dirty work and the microfiber for final inspection. Moving forward you are going to start dressing your tires while the vehicle is wet, rather than the last step, while it is dry. Doing it this way will not only keep dressing overspray and sling off your paint but it will also make your tires look that much better, regardless of whether you use a high shine or matte finish dressing.
www.cruisintimesmagazine.com
What you’ll do (While the vehicle is wet) is use the cotton towel to dry just the tire. You don’t have to spend a lot of time, just get the bulk water off and do the best you can in a few passes. At this point, spray your dressing on the tire as you would normally. The next step is to take the other 2 microfiber cloths and wipe down the wheel. This will remove any dirt that didn’t rinse away and will leave the rim looking clean and shiny without any greasy feel. Plus, now you don’t have to be so careful trying to not get dressing on them either! If you are working outside or in general, water starts to evaporate off the vehicle, make sure to keep it wet with the hose. Once you have done this all the way around, you can then grab the towels/ chamois you normally use when drying off the vehicle without fear of leaving tire dressing overspray on the body of the vehicle. Any overspray will come off the paint in the drying process. Happy Detailing!

Funny Car Match Racing - East, by John Shapiro A unique look at the fuel funny cars that roamed the Eastern, Midwest and Southern tracks during the late 60’s and 70’s. These “self sponsored” asphalt gypsies did it for love, going from track to track - three and maybe four times a week. If you remember: The Chi-Town Hustler, the Eastern Raider, the Damn Yankee, the Super Duster, Color Me Gone, Mr. Norm, Jungle Jim Liberman, the Warlord or the Flying Dutchman, then you were there watching a Funny Car Match Race somewhere East of the Mississippi. And... if you remember the Coca-Cola Cavalcade of Stars that made a stop at Dragway 42, Thompson & Pittsburgh, we’ve included a special Color chapter devoted to those burgeoning Funny Car Stars..f

T
he Coca-Cola Cavalcade of Stars was one of the most successful racing programs to come along during the late 60’s thru the mid 70’s. It’s structure, organization and implementation brought match racing to the next level and introduced, marketed and made stars of lower budget fuel funny cars. In 1967, the funny car was officially recognized by NHRA as a valid eliminator bracket of its own, the fuel funny car by 1969 had developed a large following, throughout the country, featuring legions of low buck entries in competition 65 to 70% of the drivers and crew were barely in their mid 20’s. These young guns had
Radici & Wise
cut their teeth during their teen years in gas and super stock classes and had become very good. Even then, money was the great deciding factor and while many of the lower budget cars ran very good, they were not quite quick enough to run with the Blue Max’s of the world making them perfect for the Coca-Cola circuit. Understanding the interconnected tracks will help you understand how the circuit began. New York National Speedway opened in 1966 owned by Gil Kohn and managed by Ed Eaton. Gil also owned Detroit Dragway and was well connected with the Gold Agency in Chicago which booked all their match race teams that
St Louis based Radici & Wise, Wise Speed Shop, circa 1974. Driver Paul Radici was were NHRA regulars, match race favorites and Coke Cavalcade campaigners in the mid-70s. Then in the late 70s, Al Hoffman bought the teams entire inventory at an estate sale and began his flopper career in late ‘79 while Radici went on to drive Al Kudos “Orient Express” Arrow.

The quality workmanship provided by Victory Engines led to 3 race wins and a runner up finish in the 2015 UMTR season. The consistency of the engine was a key factor in our success to win the 2015 UMTR North Quick Stick Championship with a best of 8.86 ET @ 151.68 mph.
