yet if anyone needs it...)
> This is due primarily to the large hole in my cylinder head, discreetly
positioned in the squish area between the compression chamber and the water
jacket. If anyone is interested, approx .040" of metal there (machined to
the spark plug threads) is adequate for 13.5:1 compression, but apparently
doesnt like much more than that.

> The tent is always available at races we attend as long as I know how
many to plan for. We can now go up to possibly 11 cars. The tent is
getting too big, so it will now be 2 tents, each 50ft & if I set them up 10
feet apart, we can squeeze in a hospitality room, or an 11th car.) Right
now next weekend for the appleton group (59 red GT6, 49 blue spitfire, 4
white spitfire) is changed to getting a new driver through the school next
weekend at black hawk farms.
