Cacklefest.com working with the Goodguys arranged for a display of Cacklecars and appropriate era push cars at the Del Mar Car Show. Drawing on Standard 1320 members for Cacklecars yielded four cars for a set-up inside in addition to Norm Weekly with the Frantic Four car and Dennis Prater and his Stellings and Hampshire car which were setting up outside to do fire-ups. The Ted Cyr Lincoln and Chris Karamesines original Chizler rounded out the inside display.

The Shubert & Herbert recreation owned by Ron Johnson on its custom trailer behind Ron's El Camino.

 

 

Parked behind the Shubert & Herbert car was the Paradise Alley 1965 Woody car. This is a very nice piece but was not originally raced as a fuel dragster. It has yet to make an appearance in a Cacklefest.

 

 

 

 

Norm Weekly and Dennis Prater were busy doing fire-ups the entire weekend with the Frantic Four car and the Stellings & Hampshire car outside the building.

Keeping the cacklecars company inside were three of the "new kids". The NE-1 dragsters of Chuck Bayuk and Zimmerman, Witek & Martin flank the VRA Top Fuel Champion car of Neal & White.
