Don Groff was good enough to let us know he is restoring the GSTA Twin. Don bought the car in December of 2005. The car was last ran as a bracket car with a BBC. The
Gopher State Timing Association is a local group of car clubs that run a club dragster
( eight total since 1957 but only one twin
1970 -1973 ) and hold an annual car show
for fund raising. This year is the 50th show
and Don has been thrashing to get the car reresurrected and presentable for this years show. There will be no paint, linkages, or hoses, but he wants to have the overall effect nicely done enough to raise interest and try to locate missing parts and info. If
anyone visiting our site can help, let us know and we will get in touch with Don.
Dons goal is to restore the twin to the way
it looked in 1970 when it was awarded the
trophy for Best Appearing car at the Indy
U.S. Nationals. A great addition to the other restored twins: Freight Train, Tommy Ivo,
Rico Paris, Motes-Williams, Walt Austin, Jon
Pulver. Re-Created: Dragmaster Two Thing
Clutch can, steering, and original throttle petal. The
brake and clutch petal still
have to be reproduced.
Display was simple using a mix of new and old posters,
photos, and other display
items.
1 pair of M/T valve covers,
1 Cirello mag, 1 magnesium
Bowers blower, and 7 of the
Coors cans are from 32 yrs.
ago.
The rear engine still needs
a low profile injecter, but the scoops are facing the right way, a GSTA trade
mark.
