Remember in 1973 Rick Ferkel came out to Ascot for the Pacific Coast Open and showed all those at Ascot that a wide RR tire WOULD work at Ascot! Remember seeing some teams trying a wide RR tire, but they had no luck with it. Also Bubby Jones made the trip out as well, but picked up a ride in an older car powered by a Boss 302 under the hood. Car owner let Bubby set the car to his liking. Come the 50 lap final main event, Rick and Bubby all but ran off from the rest of the competitors, with Rick winning and Bubby not far behind.

That's what made me think of Rick Ferkel.....

Thanks for the positive feedback gang. I'm hoping to finish off a couple of cars that I've had close to finished for a long time.
My worst day of building STILL beats my best day at work !!
