[Spridgets] [midgetsprite] VRM Back Issues

[Robert E. Shlafer]

It was indeed, Norm! :)

But you of course were smarter than I and moved to sunny Florida while I am currently getting my vehicle winterized even as you, a wise older soul, spend time frolicking in the sun!!!

I shall be ordering VRM momentarily, BTW considering our previous lister was kind enough to provide a link. 

Very best regards :)

Bob:
 
It was a good visit.  Glad you enjoyed the B.  I miss it.  But, the Alfa
that replaced it is fun too, just a lot slower.  Maybe after I finish
building the new engine for it it will be closer to what the B was.
 
Was planning to race the Turner at Moroso, opps, Palm Beach International
this weekend.  But, the new "old" HP engine doesn't yet want to go racing &
I've been too busy to work out the kinks to get it to feel right & no time
to do dyno runs.  Thing is really high compression with domed pistons.
Haven't measured it.  But, likely c. 12:1.  Old old 948 is 10.5:1 with
flat-top pistons.
 
Regards,
Norm
 
And, Herb:  Glad you like VR.  We try to make it the best we can.
