34-40

I and others have experience of doing some of this type work for years------I have a complete machine shop and the reason I do is because there weren't shops that could/would do what I needed done to race the level that I did-----
I have been drag racing since the mid 50s-------thru the 60s worked on ground equipment for United airlines, during the 70s had the reputation of having the most beautiful fuel cars ever, Revell built model kits, Johnny Lightening also plus 1320inc did die cast models.

Our cars set track records, Low ET, National Records plus unofficial world records( Official World Speed records require 2 way run and its hard to get stopped going from starting line to the staging area fence)
Many magazine articals and center folds, even in Esquire month before Burt Reynolds was in Cosmopoliton!!!!!!!!!

I have done top fuel, funny car, pro stock, stock block Indy cars, dirt tract stock cars plus sprinters and midgets and followed all that with WKA Karting with my sons on the road race tracks of America including Black Hawk Farms, Gingerman, Mid-Ohio, Indy IRP, Putman, Kershaw, St. Louis, Charlotte, Daytona International and others------ we built some of our own chassis and we won races plus numerous championships including WKA World Champ in 125 Shifter class --------

As for sleeving blocks----------there probably isn't anyone on here besides Pat and me that has done much of it-------

And it ain't the route of just using a crate engine that you can get free shipping on-----

I generally like Rogers participation on here , but I'm getting pretty fed up with devoting time to discuss methods/reasons of doing something and getting picked at by anyone with no experience or knowledge of just how and why something is done in a certain way----------

If this continues---I'll be gone--------and if the site isn't changed to where we can post pictures taken with a camera without downsizing, off site storage, etc---I may take a leave also---------
