This is from a Washington Post story about Miss Texas, who happens to be the first Asian-American Miss TX, and happens to be telling kids about diversity, equity & inclusion & etc. in a state that’s basically outlawed all that stuff. Made me love her even more.

The original top might fit. But I wouldn’t chance it. All the different kit brands are a little different from each other and a little different from the original item.
Best thing is find a place that makes Bimini tops for boats. Extra points if the old top is good enough to take a pattern from.
I would not DiY this job without a big walking…[Read more]

This past weekend was the Pagoda Hillclimb in nearby Reading, PA. It was quite the spectacle. Saturday morning we were greeted by intermittent pouring rain. My first two runs I left my pit area to go to the start line with a light mist in the air. At the start line the skies opened up and I ran in a downpour. As the day went on the weather…[Read more]

Ken, I ran the 2300 Pinto engine for years. Bored out, cammed, headers, 4 barrel carb, etc. I eventually killed it at a Hillclimb. I ignored a misfire and put a hole in a piston.
Currently, I’m running a Ford 302 V8 crate motor. 300 hp, 348 ft/lbs torque with Sniper injection. A big jump from the 2.3. Still running the same 5 speed and Ford 8…[Read more]

Drug the TDr out to Summit Point to run the Jefferson circuit there. Got 14 laps in. Two laps each attempt. You weren’t given a green flag until you passed Turn 11, then two full laps after that.
This run is where I lost to Turn 7. I fought that corner all weekend.
This was my final attempt and my best time of the…[Read more]

Damn!
Why would a spark plug fail like that?
Sorry for your trouble.

The electrode tip of the spark plug dropped off. Loose in the cylinder, it destroyed a valve and valve seat. It also damaged the piston.
The end result is its getting a new short block and cylinder head. Not exactly what I needed to hear.

Tow Car Update…
For those of you who are not aware, my Subaru that I was towing my MG to Carlisle with decided it didn’t want to continue about 25 miles from the hotel. I nursed it in but had to get my tow car towed back home.
This morning I went to the Subaru dealer to empty it out. They had looked at it and said the transmission was OK but the…[Read more]

OK so Carlisle was an adventure. Thanks so much to Gregg and and Sharon, Al and Rose Ann, Bill (Crash) and Audrey, Dale Schumacher and Bill Ascheman for making this one of the stronger TD showings. Six TDs, outnumbered Speedsters, show’d ’em up. Bill’s car was extra special this year, sitting in the race paddock all weekend and then, when he got…[Read more]
