the Cosworth belongs to Calvin Smith.... and the Shark's tooth Bike is Jim
Cannon.... Trust me when I say that is sedate for Jim.... almost scary...
the Roll Master car is quick... even with the D motor it ran 195+ on
gas.... with the A Motor it really hauls.... they were in the 250+ range at
Speedweek.... so they have a clue.... the builder's name is Bob Durnhiem he
is just a super fabricator...
