zora.jpgHere's the HRM cover John mentioned. December, 1967. Pretty exotic stuff. I was in 9th grade, study hall South Jr. High, Rapid City, So. Dak. Required reading material. Algebra homework? The new issue of Hot Rod just came out! Priorities.

I remember both that HOT ROD cover (I was a little older than High School) and Denny's presentation in Boston. His talk was one of the best sessions at any National Convention I have been to.

RIP Denny.

I was at Boston. If I remember correctly his presentation went on for over three hours and basically everyone in the room stayed for the complete presentation. I have a tape of that presentation

I was the EVENT DIRECTOR on the NCRS BOD and produced that convention with DAN GALE who was Chairman of the New England Chapter. Dr. DICK THOMPSON was our special guest. He brought DENNY DAVIS and Doc. BLATCHLEY along. What a seminar we had. It continued into the lunch hour in the bar - restaurant .ZORA was there for the week, and he hot-rodded his GOLF KART every day and raced it every day up and down the hill to the show field . SUPER FUN CONVENTION

John Amgwert video taped that presentation, as I remember, and I would expect there is a copy in the NCRS Archives.

Where are the archives (NCM?) and how do we go about sharing that info more broadly?

The NCRS Archives are at the AACA Museum in Hershey PA. Bill Sangrey is the contact person.

I also have saved a copy of the Hot Rod Magazine from Dec 1967 showing the photo of Duntov and the various engines that were developed at the time. Would definitely would have been an honor to know Mr Davis. RIP.

Thanks Terry. Has anyone looked at the Archives lately and figured out what information from there we could share with the membership?
