The Nash MR with the 4vpc and the sideways pushrods and the belt driven blower that thought it was a turbo and fed by the mechnical FI from Mercedes was really cool.
The coolest part was either the quick change on the input shaft or the Dyno pump that replaced the trans so all the systems could be tested in the car.
That is the stuff of dreams and some wake up screaming.
Want me to go get it ? :wink:

Bruce's car sure was unique, seems people who think like you two come from the same part of town.

He was from Arizona but he first went to work near enough to my dad's place in SD that I watched him the whole time as a kid.
He never gets old and I never grew up. LOL

Glen,

You missed the point.

104 is Rich's car number, I'm sure the posts will exceed this count soon.

Dan\I thought it was his speed at Elmo with a tail wind, but his posts say 104, but what the heck it's something to argue about and it gives Dolan & Riches something to add to the (what the hell is an Omega).

Dan, Mike's number is 847 and it will take him years to catch up with Dolan and Riches post and points. Even with a tail wind.

Crash value ?

Each point here has 1 mil exchange value and I have my eye on one of those stickers.
Nobody has scored as many points as I have in a season at El Mirage and it has been it's own reward.
I have a season pass for going to Dizyland and it's a good thing. :wink:

Jack's season pass to dizzyland is a second job he wears the goofy costume, barks at the moon or moons the crowd.

Actually I am the coach of a whole crew of "Goofy" types that keep me away with money.
My daughter said that Dizzyland was packed yesterday. Seeworld was the same as I sailed by.
I gotta get Kalbach down here sailing while it is still winter.

Jack, the only sailing Kalbach does in on El Mirage in one of them 3 wheel things he won't get wet in. Sailing in the San De-eggo bay just north of TJ is like trying to cross the border on a holiday. besides that you are such a clever pal to him you would give him a left handed oar and put him on the right side. You would have him going in circles and trying to row fast enough for you to water ski.
