Sorry for the wrong info but the blown-up motor turned out to be an exhaust rocker arm off on the '62 G.P. It sure sounded like a rod, but started it up and everything is fine so far.Bob Michael

I can understand you being a bit skittish about this, after what happened at The Northern Class Nationals.
So, I can stop looking for 389 blocks or 400's with no wear, for now?

I used shoe polish to make a chalk outline around him... but Tim Fletcher made a full recovery and chalked up a runner-up by the close of the weekend.

Michael,

It's a T-Bird, circa 1968

Congrats on your win, Mike!

I wanted to take a moment and give props to the staff/crew/track for all of the efforts this weekend. With the forecast we were given, most places would've pulled the plug before we even got started. The weather turned out better than the weather entertainment people prognosticated (shocking), and the rain that we did encounter was dealt with swiftly and proactively, with not one, but two jet dryers. Every single 60' in the Super Stocker was 1.40 on new M/T's, and every single 60' in the Stocker was 1.51 on year-old M/T radials. Outstanding job, y'all!

The live D3TV feed was (is) fantastic - who ever is responsible for getting that up and running should be highly commended.

That would be Warren Evans from Coles County Dragway. Very nice and very smart gentleman. Got a chance to talk with him quite a bit toward the end of the day on Sunday. Nice operation, and he's constantly looking at ways to improve and add to the broadcast. Very impressive, particularly for a 1-man operation!
