He may have moved to Oregon, I have been to his house an was very impressed with a copper water jacketed corvair motor sitting in the corner of his garage. He said 450hp (Tom) last name starst with a K but i forget how to pronounce it.

Great photos, notice the gantry in the Stewart & Seabridge pits,
"Should be ok, just flip it over"

Galvanized fence pipe is almost as useful as duct tape! My dad made a roll bar for a Jeep out of it.

AND A WONDERFUL RECORD IT IS.
26 years later we were running comparable speeds with the Merkur with Jim driving.  Bigger but slippery er. (maybe) 
He really had it together.
I really admire work like his and wish I could have been around for it. 

So much history, so little time

Just a small correction here -- the record is in F/CBGC -- Classic Blown Gas Coupe.

You're right Stan. My ego did not allow me to edit my post before sending.
