George's car was bought by a guy who lives in Moline,Illinois. It was running really good, and he blew the motor a few years ago and hasn't been back out since.I understand that he is planning to be back this year, as it is quite a long process to build an engine from scratch.
I met George at the Winternationals about 10 years ago.Great guy with a long history of fast Oldsmobiles.I remember asking him about his car and whose pistons he was running.He said Arias.After he told me that,I didn't ask anymore questions.The small valve and low compression combo is probably a much better combo for Olds 455 racers.
