[Land-speed] Couple of questions.

[Skip Higginbotham]

I would talk to Howard, Scat and/or Callies also Eagle and Crower and 
then check it when it gets here. Chrome-moly. The indexing on my new 
one was off a bit and currently getting fixed. I am told that 
virtually all crank forgings now come from China.

I agree with Sparky. Also, Fred Larsen's liner was very short. Fast 
too! Stretch it to 130"?
