WOW!!Lots of folks have been sending me congratulations and thanks, and I couldn't be more grateful, or more satisfied with the result.
But the truth is: It is always a team effort. Always has been that way in racing, always will be. Just the way it is.
So, once more, I'm gonna tilt my head and do a brain dump. Please indulge me yet one more time . . . . . .
Thank you to everyone who has touched this project, but especially to:Chris, for vision. The Sconnie Nation beer swiller, when you first talked to me about this project, I thought: Good luck with that!! I blame the beer . . .
Kate, for unconditional support and understanding. Chris, like me, lucked out in the marriage dept.
Nick, for all the hard work in a brutal & desolate environment. I'm not sure you realize just how special the accomplishment is. It would not have been possible without your help . . . . .
Mel @ C&S, not just for precision machine work, but for patience with fools who don't race Chevy V-8's . . . .
Tom @ T&T, for allowing interlopers onto your dyno and flow bench. Yeah, we know its' a starter motor for a big-block . . . . .
Dema, who
IS Elgin Cams, for
always producing what is required, regardless of how weird it gets.
Bill, Will & Dave @ APEX, for the use of your machine shop. Thanks Bill.
Mike @ Deerfield, for precision dyno adaptors and for knowing what it's like to race a weirdsmobile . . . . . .
Jim @ PPD, for the loan of rare vintage parts and other support. Yeah, Minis are weird too, you're in our "club" . . . .
Harold, for introducing me to the right people all those years ago . . . . .
Peter, for the good recommendation on a serious team . . . . .
Randy, RIP buddy. Thanks for letting me run with the ball, my way . . . If I had known what was going to happen . . . well, who knows?
and finally,
Karen, for putting up with yours truly for 45 years, Sainthood, for sure . . . at least . . .
