THESE TWO ADS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SIGNAL HILL REUNION AND HAVE NEVER CONTACTED ME, COMPANY'S WHO DO THIS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE NCDSA. JH

Terry Nails
On 12/26/2004 John O'Shei wrote in from United States  (64.160.nnn.nnn)

Terry Nails is the coolest dude I ever met. As a kid he was a big inspiration to me. He was my idol. Olson based his entire punk skate style approach on Terry Nails. Terry Nails was the first skate punk as far as I'm concerned. I thought he was dead. He rules this sight. Terry Nails and Blackheart are the Romulas and Reamus of Nor Cal skating. I sing praises to thier glory!

Walk the path of a human all you whitebread weirdos!

It's one of those contest with more focus on design than actual performance.

1977 Skatecar pics
On 10/19/2004 Don Baumea wrote in from United States  (64.12.nnn.nnn)

Hy Terry,

I do have more however they are slides and I think i can trick my camera into scanning them. Perhaps the best pictures I took was several shot sequence of the Hester/ Bowden race in Akron OH in which Mark crashed head first 5 feet in front of me and narrowly missed henry. It was a really bad crash and after all that had appened at Signal Hill and during the long week at Akron I knew this was the end for skatecar in competition. It was not the crash itself but the insane peripheral stuff going on. But being that Bowden was a Freeformer rider and crashing again in one of those cars was just nuts. These have ee been shown but I believe I showed Henry when I returned White Lighting and he was blown way that it was photographed at all. I meant to make a copy for him but time slips away if you let it. Oh yea, I was showng him some photos I took of Whie Lightning, when I made runs in it and I had slipped in some staged crash photos of the WL going off road in a big way, and I acted like I was surprised they were in there. He said, hey what was that, go back!! We had a good laugh because he made me promise to take care of WL or fix whatever i broke. I recall be was pleased. Anyway, I see what I can do Terry. Cheers, Don

Get rid of the training wheels and you might have something there. I'll bet it's like all the other Volvos though, probably handles like $h!T in the snow...

The new Volvo Extreme Gravity Car. This is for straight line racing only, but I thought it was cool looking enough to post here. I would put up some pictures, but I'm to lazy to resize them.

John Hughes told me he lives in Hawaii. He should be able to get you in contact with him. Don, do you have any more shots of the '77 race? The whole thing is sort of a blur to me. I'd like to see some of the shots since I spent a good portion of the day in the hospital being ignored by doctors.
