Wolf of Wolf Motorsports Magazine. 2009 The 2013 Show Season is 6 months old and we here at the magazine have reached yet another milestone. 4 consecutive years of providing you high quality photos, show coverage from all over the US and hopefully hours of pure entertainment. We had the pleasure of beginning the 2013 Show Season in sunny Southern California attending the Grand National Roadster Show. What a treat that was! Pure excitement and a nice history lesson from the decades long gone, but were being re-lived by many at one of the top car shows in the country. The 2013 season has been a different one for us here as were prepare to move headquarters from the Great State of Texas back to the South Eastern part of the US in the Middle Tennessee area. While this is turning out to be a huge endeavor, I want each and every one of you out there to understand that just because we’re moving, this will in no way shape or form keep us from keeping on! We’ve been doing it for 4 years now and there are no signs of slowing in the foreseeable future. The South East part of the US has some huge events that I’m looking forward to bringing you right here in these very pages. The cruise-ins are superb and the people are fantastic. In fact here in a few months I’ll be giving you just a small taste of what this move has in store for you!! Sit back, keep cool and enjoy this 4th Anniversary Issue of Wolf Motorsports Magazine!!! WMM Wolf Motorsports Magazine does not guarantee acuracy of the content written by contributers to the magaine. 2009 2 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 3 On Sautrday March the 2nd the small town of Rockdale, Texas came alive with plenty of chrome, vibrant colors and cool cars and trucks. There were also a few food vendors and other areas of interest for those who like to shop. The car show featured around a 100 cars and trucks of many different makes and model years. You think I would learn not to eat first so I could have tried out some of the food vendors on hand. I’m pretty sure they had my old time favorite “The Fried Bologna Sandwich”. Oh well, maybe next time! Here are a few of my favorites from downtown Rockdale, Texas! WMM 4 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 5 You don’t see too many of these ‘69 Dodge Chargers out and about, but when you do they are typically in really good shape. This is a lime green example with Crager wheels and a black stripe and interior. Very Nice! This winged wonder was as black as the ace of spades and looking clean setting over a set of large 5 spoked hoops. 6 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 7 (top) Danny Paulk from Lexington, Texas brought out his maroon ‘48 Chevrolet Coupe to hopefully sell. Nice Ride Danny! (bottom) ‘52 Chevrolet Pea cup as my buddy Jim would call it! I look at this ride and I immediately think “Road Trip”!!!! Black with red pin stripes and cool wire wheels! 8 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 9 Orange you glad you saw this ‘52 Willis Aero Coupe? Birght orange with purple injection stacks and a cool looking engine bay! Does this coat of orange make my rear end look big? Maybe not the orange paint...but it does draw attention as does the narrowed rear axel and big meats!!! 10 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 11 The white painted dash holds all of the modern goodies, like A/C, CD Player and some cool gauges. The upholstry is black and white striped! When was the last time you saw a ‘55 450 Series GMC Pickup? You don’t remember? Well I’m about 99% sure I’ve never seen one and certainly not anything like this one. White all over wtih black accents and a cool sleeper. I could see cruising this one, but I bet it’s not fun to put gas in! 12 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 13 This ‘39 Dodge 1/2 Ton is clean, original and simple but functional. The interior, while sparce is clean and well detailed The nicely detailed bed was home to some oirginal ‘39 Dodge tools, literature about the truck and several awards. 14 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 15 (top) What a better way to enjoy the show than with some cool treats from Weezie the old time Ice Cream Man! (bottom) ‘29 Doodle Bug! This blue ‘63 Chevrolet Impala SS was neat as a pin and still wore the orignal SS hubcaps attached to the steel wheels and wrapped in black wall tires. 16 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 17 (top) In “Hog Heaven” is certainly where I would have been had I been hungry enough to eat a breakfast taco or fried bologna sandwich. (Bottom) This is one clean ‘68 Chevrolet Camaro! 18 www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com 19 2013 is a celebratory year for the fine folks at Goodguys. They will spend the entire year celebrating their 30th Anniversary.

To discuss the estimated output (in horsepower) of one engine versus another based on lists of modifications done to each engine. 3. To discuss the estimated output (in horsepower) of one engine versus another based on lists of modifications done to each engine.
