Gets expensive when two of the fastest in your class are in your division, and one of those two from right here in town. Cotton & Emmons are making me work & spend money. LOL

Hey now that the car is "down" for the winter maybe it's time to turn it up. Lighter pistons, lightweight crank, small bearing rods, cylinder head work, block machining ..... you know the routine. 8-)

The block is at Patterson's right now getting the cam journals bored for 50mm roller bearings, and honed for new light pistons. Already had light pistons but was getting too loose. Already had the 1.88" Honda-sized rod journals and fairly light crank. Don't think there is much left in the heads. Another manifold and cam profiles to test. No end to it.

Here's the link: Ask for Keith and tell him I sent ya. I don't get anything from him. We've been friends for almost 25 years. He has built a few for me.

NHRA has discouraged heads-up racing by allowing a car to not only to move down a class, but also up a class from its natural class that's posted in the Classification Guide........

The same combo can now run 3 different classes......
