WOW Mordy!
Maybe we should have your Kid build some more motors -
2.5 seconds off your best lap was great - The MG / Triumph Challenge was a
great race and you gave me a run for sure-
Triumphs were definitely the Class act out at BE and all ran well in their
respective run groups - Steve S. we missed you out there!!
I was very pleased with my new motor combo and Kas' cam he recommended-
Thanks Kas!!!
FP was again dominated by Spitfires - With Joe Siam , Tom Mullaney, Steve
Barth, Vince Depalma - Sorry for those I missed-
The Triumph Guys all worked together this weekend and it showed - With
everyone helping each other out it equated to consistent faster lap times
and everyone loading their cars back up under power -
Few people I need to thank
Joe Siam - Chequered Flag Racing (Supplies me parts) and a great friend
Mordy Dunst - Gasket Works (Great head Gaskets - never miss a beat)
Kas (your the Man!!- what a great Cam - A-10A) Sorry we didn't get to see
you
Richard Good - Goodparts (those rocker pedastals held up great- will
recommend them to everyone)
Dale Crane - (Built me a sway bar & just made the Spit hook up)
What a great weekend and look forward to the see you all soon -
John W.
Spitfire #892
