Keck's CSX3008 Painting at the "Glen"

[SS COBRA]

Karl, I'm surprised we haven't met, my now wife, Pat and I where at Keck's house almost every night of the week working on the Cobra or the Z28 or doing something with their family. During the summer we were off to the races some where almost every weekend and during the winter went snowmobiling.
I'm starting to find some our old slides of the 60's and 70's and scanning them into jpegs, thanks to the help of Ron. In fact I just found a couple more from 1971 at Walkins Glen that i've got to scan.
Check out my photos that have been posted under SS COBRA, you'll fine some of the Keck family there.

tbuttrick.....When Hal had the small block Cobra I think he might have had #13 as one of the numbers he used. I remember one time it was #10 or #11. The car was CSX2127 and was sponsored by Hellertown Ford. One year they finished up front at Sebring and was the highest finish for an independent, non factory team

Hello, you would not remember me, I was only 10 yrs old, my dad & butch fryer were building Hal's engines and helping to work or the car for a few seasons.

were you at daytona in '69? apparently Hal qualified with the alum heads, magnesium water pump & intake manifold, then they were forced to remove those parts and put the stock parts back on the engine for the race. I think Hal lost 2nd gear and Pete Consiglio passed Hal for the win on the last lap or next to the last lap.
