Default All is good Jerry

Jerry Clayton Jerry everything is OK. As far as the body on the gokart, check the safety sheet, you need safety gear and helmet. The car needs lights. I am not in charge but the idea is interesting. I agree with the big bore short stroke motor for road racing and having a larger rpm and possible power range than a small bore long stroke motor is the way to go. For my driving and not like turning these strokers over 6,200 rpm, I stay with the big tork motor and have 1 extra gear to shift to. Morris car weight was about 2,900 lbs. My era is 2705lbs with all Aluminium motor and 1/2 tank of gas. I also have a power steering assist rack. I like you, have been very lucky to have seen the big motor,power days of the late 60's to early 70's. I miss owning a 69 Hemi roadrunner, but wrenched it for 2 years when racing with a friend. I turned down a 67 vette with tri 427 motor. Neighbor owned it and needed new brakes and calipers every year. He sold it before they came out with stainless cups. I tryed to talk a guy out of a superbird that is rotten away in the next town over. I ended up with the cobra instead of the bird. He will not sell it and the rear of the car is out in all the weather, what a waste. 383, auto, orange basic model. One day I will caught the wife, and with cash in hand save this car. I travel 998 miles from Jersey to this event, and the people and track people, Dan and Tim give us a great time and more track time than most can run. 300 miles is a 5 hour, 1 gas stop, Me 16 hours and 4 stops and 1 power nap Hope you come next year.
