[QUOTE="Black 03 Z06, post: 296821, member: 1852"] Great story Peter. The "Brothers Brown" Toronto was a beautiful altered owned by Derek and Tony Brown running out of the Roadmates Car Club in Mississauga, Ontario. There was a team running an Altered out of Michigan called the "Brown Brothers" and thus the "Brothers Brown" name. In the picture above the car is running BB/Altered with a front mounted supercharger. That motor has a long history and apparently is still around. My friend Brooke DeShaw bought the Pack Rat altered I believe from Derek and Tony. That car had a long history when it was owned by Roger Miller from London, Ontario. A couple of eliminator victories at the NHRA Nationals in Indy in the early 60's. Brooke ran the car in B/Altered with a small block Chevrolet but the car originally came with the front mounted blower motor that ended up in the Brothers Brown car. These pics show the car with the same motor when Miller owned it. Great times and for a kid who got to pump up fuel pressure on the starting line pretty exciting. [ATTACH type="full"]106271[/ATTACH] Same motor... [ATTACH type="full"]106273[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]106272[/ATTACH] Pack Rat as it ran as a B/Altered. The car was sold and became the "Avenger" then disappeared into history. Has not been seen in probably 40 years. Lots of effort into trying to find the car.
