Mike was the one who got me involved in the Cadillac deal. We were partners with them and Hydramatic for 18 years. Between Me, Mike and Yac, there were 14 Cadillac race cars. Mike formed YANK Converters as a result of building them for the race cars and finally for GM specially vehicle group. I had 18 class wins and 16 national Records with the Cimarron. It was fun! Jim

This car was stolen, crashed and buried at a race track up north while getting a fresh drive train installed. It was discovered years later when some track expansion was being done. It was a weird deal! Jim

Yup, that was me and Hershey my Lab. BIGG has the stick shift Cimarron that Yac drove. Mine was light blue. Jim

Yeah, Yeah, I know, dug up an old one.
I didn't buy anyones old car, sort of. My ex gave it back to me. With lots of input from Yac, I have a 96 Escort. Built not bought. Its rough looking , getting body parts off car-part.com looking for color match so I dont have to repaint. But, with a header and some really short slicks, at weight for E/FS , have gotten it .27 under already. So, there is one up here in the NW.

Dave, your Escort is cool. I remember seeing it at Yakima a few weeks ago. It may be color challenged but it went some rounds, if I recall.

Thanks Ron. I lost to Norm in the Vette 1st round, but if I hadn't missed 3rd gear I could have made it real close. It's wild glancing back in the mirror and see the Vette hike the front Way up chasing me down.
