bump this back up to the top, somebody has to know these guys. I believe they held a few records with their car. From Minnesota, I think.

Here is a link to an article from 1995 when the car was first built. It gives the names of some of the guys, but that was 23 years ago.

looks like Dave Martin is the guy I want to talk to. From that article you posted...........

"Dave Martin of Rochester is 52 and retired from a career spent installing telephone equipment for AT&T.

; He now rebuilds ``flathead'' Ford engines as a hobby and is heavily involved in getting the engine ready for this venture."

thanks, Phil
