Bob Stanford was the super mechanic with US AIR (Allegheny Airlines at that 
time).  I had my car up at Chuck Redmond's garage to rebuild my engine and 
learn from them how to do it.  I haven't progressed much, since I am still using 
most of their techniques.

I remember when Bob would stay up all night pulling out his engine, 
rebuilding it, and installing it by day break.  Then he would leave from there and go 
directly to work.  The year he went to Riverside, he build another engine with 
87 mm pistons, to get rid of his 87 mm + 0.30 inch pistons.  He said that a 
certain number of cars get torn down at this event.  This move probably cost him 
a little power.

"Sports Car" had a picture on the cover of the beginning of the EP race 
coming down a hill.  Bob's Morgan was on the inside of the track about half way 
back in the pack.
