It's a pushrod V8. Kinda looks like a small block Chevy.

With the big Retro race of the year out in So-Cal, the Checkpoint Cup coming up in a couple weeks, I haven't sent out the cars out that way yet.

 

I talked to Rick Davis yesterday, and he is finishing up the 2 cars for him and Bob Appelle, so we will have a bigger field for the next races.

Thanks Mike....

 

BTW:

Who is responsible for taking 'care, custody and control' of the fleet?

 

Any pictures of the track?

How about a 50/50 for Mike putting this on?

 

I'll put up $5.00 for the pole and $10 to the winner thorough paypal.

 

AND a pair of Mike's FK wire connectors to all the drivers ... Thanks for coming out tonight.

 

 

Anyone else ???

 

 

Yup,

50% goes to the car owner and 50% goes to the House (M.Swiss)

 

 

Last week .. I straightened out full payment by paypal with Mike for my 3 commitments above.

Rick Davis just finished his 2 cars and will be sending  them out to me.

 

I'll be getting all the cars to Tim a little bit after the Checkpoint Cup is over next weekend.

 

BTW, Tim's track set-up looks like a dream.
