Hahaha. I just got to read this. Been away for a while visiting my son in Massachusetts and my new grandson! First grandchild for us. What a delight. I never knew how much he would tug my heartstrings. Anyway, Ken, I really did not mean that as a callout, buuuut, not a bad idea if we ever do meet up. You guys are too funny. Way to stir things up. I love it. Any true racer would not say no to a challenge, right?
Spencer, I am in the process of building a new engine this year. Working on a 414 sbc starting with a Dart Iron Eagle block. I may have to change my 5.38 gears back to 4.88's to keep it off the rev limiter. If I do, then I can run 1/4 mile tracks again if I run a fairly tall slick. That could be fun. We'll see.
Art, Winterport is right off I-95 just South of Bangor, and about 200 miles from NED in Epping. Takes about 3.5 hours towing a race car.
Still laughing,
