    Your absolutly correct Bruce Reily is from Nova Scotia and runs a 70 Chevelle in SS/EA
    Dave Reilly was the driver of Bob Ramstrom's "Feather Duster" (that was a set-up to see if you would read this)

    There's a true story about a certain 331ci engine getting tossed off the back of a ramp truck heading to Reid Automotive
    by a certain BIG Blonde dude that worked for "Tusk" at Fig Newton

    Oh & Dave Reilly YES That Dave Reilly the former President of New England Dragway Inc.always wore gloves when he raced the Feather duster! FYI, it was a 4-speed!

    Yeah, yeah yeah on the 331 but I won the race against Johnny Gray - ramp truck against Unit 7. The upside to that 331 taking the dump on Grafton Street was they found why the motor kept losing oil pressure going around in circles. The other issue with Dave Reilly's gloves was that they were white garden gloves that you plant tomatoes with - not racing gloves as we know them today. The best part of the Feather Duster (DODGE) was it ran with a SBC and ran real good. Long live the "Tusk", Wes and Vinny memories..........those were the days!!
