the Holman Moody prepped, Fireball Roberts 1963 Ford Galaxy #22... .. a museum stored - fresh off the track - race car




Q code, single 4 barrel, 427 with cast iron hi flow exhaust headers






If I could recall all that I was told by the owner, a Holman or Moody, I can't recall which... but a nice guy, he said this was beign neglected in a museum, the NASCAR museum I think, and it hadn't been maintained, kept up, not even properly stored for decades. So when a Holman Moody museum was started, they got their cars back... see, they hadn't sold them to the museums, just loaned them. http://www.holmanmoody.com/

Hyundai Service Engineering Trackday Veloster




For about 5000 dollars the engineers at the So Cal Hyundai headquarters did all the mods they could, because the parts were expensive and labor was free. It's amazing how much they did. 




Under the start button, and in front of the shifter a Google Nexus tablet was installed.


here are all the things they got it to do!
