A brief followup, we got together yesterday - braved the snow and weather. About 20-25 folks showed up and we just had a ball, Bill Anderson was unable to do the flathead but Don Beard spent extra time with the ohv motor and all the questions promted indepth discussions. Thanks to generous sponsors we were able to provide coffee and donuts and a huge lunch.
The guys came from drag race to hot rod to restoration purists and even a land speed motorcycle guy and it was very interesting to learn what was important to each and how different things apply. If any of you are in a position to attend or evan start sessions like what we are doing i urge you to do so. We all had a great time.
