The good news is that the Sheriffs Department recovered the single most expensive item taken, my Chev 350/270 Jim Lewis Stocker motor. There were some other items recovered but it will still take thousands of dollars to put the car back together. Soon I will post a parts wanted list to see if any of you may have items for sale that I need. Thanks, Mike

Mike, let me tell you how lucky you are to get your engine back! That is really good news because that engine could have been sold to someone who installed it in a street car and gone forever. It would not have been the end of the world if your engine was not recovered. Jim Lewis would have built you an even better Chevy engine with more H.P. That what Lewis does.

We make it a point to not leave anything valuable in our trailer because we have to keep it at a storage lot. But, one day last year some douche bags tried to break in, got nothing but, ended up doing quite a bit of damage to the side and rear doors trying to get in.

Thanks Guys. I know how lucky I was to get anything back. A little later I will be able to give you some more details, probably after the trial. Norvell, They probably don't want to leave me alone with them but I hope to testify at the sentencing part of the trial. This ain't these guys first rodeo. Hope to be able to get enough stuff together to race some next year. If anyone is missing a helmet that has NHRA Winston Division 2 Champion on it pm me.
