All right guys----I'll answer a few

I don't smoke, never have(well I did light one of my brothers cigs on time and threw out the match--the car was parked in a pile of leaves--my brother had the keys and was walking his girlfriend home) never lit up anything ever again-And no I wasn't at run and gun--hope to be there next year--our goal is to win all three events with one car/three drivers

Back in the heyday of the racing FE engines the hot set up was destroked to 396 inches in the intermediate fairlanes and comets torinos ask the Holmon-Moody guys

Rick what kind of times did you run on the road course? Were they near or under one minute?

As to Morris car---- altho it is beautifully done--- It is unnecessarily overkill and would be unraceable on anything but where you run one every month or two and run at an event where you unload the car, unload the easy chairs, wait for your track time, go out, come back , wipe off car, set down, repeat

I think Morris has a beautiful car, but it is about aas far from KISS as possible.

Now , take Scott Johnsons small block EM car -----

Rick----if I was going to roadrace a supercharged car it would have a small engine in it, probably not over 300 inches, but have a strong bottom end, and a fairly small cam---would also gear it to run between 5000-8000 rpm

Now--take John Spinas Buick powered EM---hasn't he done quite well down there also????

Don't need to smoke anything but the tires and brakes---hopefully we'll be there next year

Jerry
