Well, the SERIOUS parts are starting to make their way to Beerhaven. Today, I got in the oil pump, the cam, the timing gears and lifters. The cam’s ground from a new blank, really quick lift, with the aforementioned “scatter pattern”. The lifters are chilled iron, and the timing gear is just beautiful. Thanks to Dave Anton for walking me through the process.     Stopped by Pegasus Auto Racing Supply out in New Berlin Saturday – talked Hans devices, and hope to take a day off next week and get fitted. Also picked up a set of tethers and a fresh air scoop for the cockpit. I was going to put off the Lexan until next year, but I need to vent the driver’s side anyway, so a clear scoop on a Lexan window made sense. Going to have to do it eventually – no time like the present. I’ll take a shot at making my own windows – they’re actually pretty flat on a Midget. |

Mine fits. We since discovered that most folk have the cam tunnel line-bored , we got the adjustment (to the cam profile)made in a day without cost. See, I can responded to even such an obvious place kick with clarityAND maturity without mentioning the actress OR the bishop. |

No, that's the authentic Doc. Another Aussie I wouldn't want to play poker with. Obviously faster, both on and off the course. Honestly, though, after seeing what happened when the Sunshine boys tried to install their bumpstick a while back, the first thing I did was throw a straight edge on the center bearing and checked mine for clearence. Some people learn from other people's mistakes. Usually, I'm the other people. |

Thanks for the well wishes! Here's hoping that as you get older you get faster! Happy Birthday Chris! Mike Or at least wiser! Yeah, if my speed matches my age, I'll have doubled my time slip.  Some of you know I'm a Cubs fan, and there's no better way for me to spend time in the garage than with the crackling sound of an AM radio and the pace of a ball game for background ambiance. Last fall, my all-time favorite radio, a Grundig AM/FM Shortwave, took a header off of a shelf in the garage, and while I've been able to milk it along, it's not been the same. It's very tough today to find a radio that can pull in AM stations really well - that end of the circuitry has taken a back seat to FM in recent years.  Well, Kate took notice of my fumbling around with the remains of my old radio, and took it upon herself to hunt up a replacement.  "Wow, this one has a built in alarm!", I said. "Yep", she said, "That way, we won't sleep through the sunrise at Bonneville". And this coming from a woman who, left to her own devices, will gladly lounge around in bed until 10:30 on a Saturday. I raise my glass to all of you. Keep building, keep racing, go fast, have fun, and keep on keepin' on! |

MM, Happy Birthday! "Wow, this one has a built in alarm!", I said.
"Yep", she said, "That way, we won't sleep through the sunrise at Bonneville". I cannot think of a better present! Geo |

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.
In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230
Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.
