Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the comments. I've only ever got positive feedback on this forum and coming from all you guys based where real hot rodding lives means a great deal to me. I'd do anything to be over there with you doing this stuff on LSR projects. I know the Mazda is not my project but my mission is to make it a winner. It's a 9 second car at 6000Ft and the dude that runs it is cool. He's a second generation motor engineer that does reboring, cranks, heads etc and to top it all he comes from the same area I grew up in. The South of Johannesburg. We are supposed to be the poorer, working class people. Miners, artisans and mechanics. The saying goes that the best thing that ever came out of the north is the M1 freeway going south. Kyle doesn't know it yet but I built a rear wing for the car. I technically don't have kids and this guy is what I'd imagine a son would be. He's a grafter and as honest as the day is long.
The community radio station I listen to has a daily competition with a prize attached and yesterday the topic was American sports. They asked about Lake Placid 1980 and what was so significant.
I made my first goalie mask in 1970 and that's how I got into fiberglass. I was 14. My brother was our goalie. I'm going to the station to collect my prize this morning. He he he. This station is cool. No Justin "Beaver", all the good stuff from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
