What's amazing is Phil Rubin actually finished a race.

PVA was running a Blazer motor. That was a Team Nutley in-house wound Russkit 23.

The first East coast Car model was at Glen Oaks on September 29, 1967; the last in the series was January 20, so some time between them.

I have to laugh. It's true, Phil was always fast but was a little short... on the results.

Phil was a great friend. He just had this luck where if someone had a wreck, Phil somehow found a way to be part of it.
He was fast as hell and built some really good chassis...

I know I was never there!!
Now I have to eat my words - I certainly was there but don't remember it. Must have gone there with Sohl and his dad Bill.
Was it an open wheel race?

Not sure. I don't have the Car Model issues it would have been covered in.
I am pretty sure it was Can-Am.

I alway suspected Phill Rubin of being an alien and Sandy with his acute hearing may have been one, too...

So with a three-month lag in reports, I'm guessing it was probably in the December '67 issue at the earliest. I'll have to look through my stash of CM magazines and see if I can find anything. I have most issues. Hmm... I should probably go through and catalog them.
"Whatever..."

The first race was at Glen Oaks, finishing at Mini Wheels and the Cobra geeks winning all the races.

Alan, sure you did not make the trip in the Dirt Mobile...That would make you not remember your own name.
