"Doug, That explains a lot about the video. I kept watching and wondering why you didn't take the 100 on the straights. The addition of the 3rd SU HD8 should help a lot, will your cam handle the extra supply? The Ruddspeed manifolds were very good in…"

Stan Mason can be contacted at StanBMason@AOL.com for additional details on classifications and how points are awarded.
Sounds like you have had a few years to sort things out on the track with your car. I'm still making some adjustments (upgrades?) In the video I was running two 2" SU HD8 carb.s with the wrong needles in for the track. I was loosing top end power down the straights and the AH 100-M could start to pull away, I was able to late break him with the 4-wheel disc. I run however.
I'm in the process of adding a triple 2" SU HD8 system on a Ruddspeed manifold with a lighter aluminum flywheel and Tilton 7.25 clutch. Two months until our track test and tune days...............I better get to work.

I enjoyed reading about the restoration on your car a few years back in the AHC-USA magazine, you really had a great resource of experts on your team.
As I recall, I took a few pictures of your finished project at the AH Rendezous
in Lake Tahoe, NV.
Do you vintage race on any regularity?
