Joe, 

 

Like Uncle Jack, you run at the front of the pack no matter where your car
is.

People are asking about our test on Sunday Morning. 

We were leaving test site when the Police Car arrived. Enclosed
Trailer.......  :-) 

Limited to 2nd gear but test surpassed
expectations................................ 

Larry Young cam comes in at about 3k-3.5k and is extremely strong as far as
we took it. Some loping under 3K, but expected. 

Head & Intake Manifold is Uncle Jack's with 11+:1 Compression & with Mike
Belfer's old 87mm flatop Hepolites. Con Rods are Uncle Jack's version of the
Chevy Rod Conversion.  Crane Ignition and my favorite carbs ZS-175s.   

Then there is a bunch of ARE stuff hung on it...Carb Heat Shield, Front
Alloy Engine Plate, Rocker Arm Spacers, Torque Reaction Arm, Flywheel Dust
Shield, 10# Steel Flywheel....Kas' Velocity Stacks.  Buy some of this stuff.
I just wrote a big check to Riverside Sports Cars.  :-) 

Transmission performed extremely well  (Riverside Sports Cars) but not fully
tested, yet. Third & Fourth under full race conditions. 

We are ecstatic.  #197 has never been lower, wider, or faster, methinks. Now
we will tune for all settings, ignition and carbureter, likely at Watkins
Glen.  We will be pleased to run midpack, if we can.  Both Drivers are
suffering from a lack of seat time and have no illusions about running at
the front.  But that's OK.
