LOL!! I took off a year to build that engine. During that time the fact checker responded to one of my posts here dissing me. He stated "his friends in Stock" told him my car was a turd.
Well the original engine won a few races finished in the top 10 in D1 was truly legal but not real competitive after the .3 reduction.
When getting into Stock Eliminator through a friendship with a fairly well know racer who offer me one of his cars. Was foot brake racing at the time guess he thought there was some potential there. Did win a race with the car during the 2 years I drove it. Some may know the car.....
During that time The great Ed told me personally that racing in Stock or any NHRA class above bracket racing was stupid he would never do it. His infamous Chevelle was mostly built to stock regulations other than his engine which was a;ways a bracket piece not stock legal. He did have the car set up with stock shifter, wipers and accessories though a really nice car that went to Europe for a good price.
When his son who is a great driver dad not so much just average like most of us saw his Junior dragster buddy have some success in super comp wanted to try it for which the great ed built him a car with which he had much success.
Ed did not build his bird he copied another local bracket racer buying a quality SS roller then installing a purchased not built himself bracket engine and glide. Which of course he widely advertised and was asked by the engine builder to calm down as he was getting negativity. So when he goes on and on his experience is through others work not his own.
Ed is not a contributor but a liability evidence here by trashing everyone on this message board running off all the quality content that many enjoyed for years but no longer.
