Short story about Tim Diamond.
I met Tim in 1989 when he was in Denver visiting with a shop here that was working on Buick V6 comp motors. Tim also was involved with a V6 car driven by Donnie Beeler in super stock.
At the time I was driving a 69 nova big block SS/BM car owned by Steve Berlau. We always struggled to run the index. We had the motor at this shop the week before the mile high nats. and Tim was checking out what we had. He offered some advice and offered to assemble the motor. I can not remember all he changed other than different rings but everything else was still the same parts. I put the motor in the car the day before the race. Tim suggested some simple tune up changes and different oil and I took his advice.
The first run the car ran .20 under the index! We were amazed, the car had picked up a solid 2-3 tenths.
End of story- I went on to win the race. Never would have happened without his help.
