TeaMan, as I'm sure you already know, you need broad shoulders to play on this website.
 Maybe a STAN BACK type to monitor  REMRs is in order.

Stan strikes fear into the hearts of those St Rdstr racers.



IB, If you don’t have broad shoulders then you shouldn’t be in racing especially LSR.

We were originally going to build a street roadster when someone mentioned Stan’s name.  A hush came over the room and you could cut the air in there with a knife.  A chill went up my spine and we all collectively turned to the dark side and decided to build a REMR.   I have heard in some circles the mere mention of Stan’s name can make women faint and men insane.  I only dare whisper his name.  :-o Tony

The UPS guy says it looks like Stan may be converting his C/STR to a rear engine car.

Would that put it in REMR class?

I think he gave up his fight in Street Roaster class and will get revenge in a new class.

Re Stan's future:

With all due respect Dr F , not quite right.

We're hiding a Hayubusa motor under the rear deck chain driven down to the 3rd member.

Only way to keep up with those surplus NASCAR motors in C class!

Watch for a press release re: the Franzia sponsorship.

Finally the girdle casting for the GMC is done.  The foundry sent these pictures of the casting after the heat treatment process. Now the hard work of fitting the girdle to the block and designing the crank begins.  This should really help the bottom stay together and keep the cam from wobbling around. I want to thank Doug Robinson again for loaning me his pattern, without it this would not have been possible. Tony

I used Betra Manufacturing in Carson City NV.  Denis Manning referred them to me as they did all his castings on the BUB motor.  Larry one of the owners is car aficionado and a pleasure to work with and when he gave me the ten-cent tour of the shop he pointed out all the Bonneville projects they were working on. The other big plus is they can keep very tight tolerances and is MIL certified.  Tony

Thanks for the reference, Tony. I have been happy with General Foundry in San leandro but it is always good to have an additional source. Betra sounds interesting and I'll check them out in the future.
