Hi Jim, Glad you liked it. I love these old stories too. Looking forward to going to his Museum and talking a lot more to him. Spread the word of Motor House please!
that's an awesome story! and yes I have heard many if stories of national trail owner screwing racers. my dad won a couple rounds and made it to the semis. entry fee was like 25$ and the owner hands him 15$ for going 5 rounds. my dad told him to keep the 15$ because he obviously needs the money more than my dad did and that was the last time we went there.
Thanks for the great video.
Some good tuning information there!
Don was stuck being conservative! As a roadracer i have played with 1 deg increments and found at least for qualifying 38/39 will make the engine a bit 'freeer', but back to the usual 36 for racing. SBC.
