Re: Death Of A Block
Larry & Patsy, Was so sad to hear of your problems at Indy through the "live" reports. Here's an idea for the block that will allow it to continue to serve you in another capacity. It may not be necessary in your locale, but up here in C.N.Y. this works really great. A drag racer that lives about 5 miles from me got tired of the snow plows taking down his mail box every winter, so he built a base from an old B.B. (broken) Chevy Block, then welded a crankshaft to the block, put his mail box on the end of the crankshaft, then surrounded the mail box with an old dragster style roll cage. He painted it orange, and the plows haven't taken it down since.
Re-purpose and re-use Sir.
Does this mean you're done racing for the year?
That would be even sadder.
