Don Schlag Chevrolet Car Collector - Hot Rod Magazine
We're all subject to our own peculiar obsessions. Go on eBay and you'll find literally hundreds of subcategories under the general Collectibles. There are people who collect feed sacks and others who just have to have all the Buffy the Vampire Slayer trading cards. And there are probably some who want both feed sacks and Buffy cards. But in a world of collectors, none are more committed or obsessive than those who gather and hoard car stuff. And Don Schlag of Green Bay, Wisconsin, was among t

The Best Hot Rodder in the World

The Best Hot Rodder in the World
The Best Hot Rodder in the World: Ak Miller - Hot Rod Magazine
Ak Miller Had a Lifelong Need for Speed and a Passion for Hot Rods.

Tracing the life of hot-rodding pioneer Ak Miller is sort of like watching a Speed Channel version of Forrest Gump. If something important happened in rodding history, Ak was there. Lakes racing? Yep, before World War II and as the SCTA's first postwar president. Bonneville? He worked alongside Wally Parks and Bob Petersen to plan the first speed trials on the Salt in 1949. Drag racing? Ak was the NHRA's first vice president when the association was formed in 1951. Street racing? Ak did his fair share in the day, often humbling flathead-powered iron with a sleeper Chevy roadster packing a Buick straight-eight. Road racing? HOT ROD made legendary his exploits in the Carrera Panamericana road races and on Pikes Peak. Factory performance? For 10 years, Ak worked for Ford as a performance consultant, touring the country with hot-car displays and doing the dirty-fingernail development work that stymied Dearborn engineers.

Volkswagen - Small And Mighty - Hot Rod Magazine

Back in 1965, HOT ROD wrote a piece about the EMPI Inch Pincher, a 13-second '56 Volkswagen sedan that became the terror of the NHRA Gas classes. The article finished with these words: "The next order of business would seem to be a crack at the 100-mph mark and possibly a shot at the 12s. This e.t. projection may seem to be a bit ambitious on our part, but then who would have thought a Volkswagen could win Street Eliminator?"
