I missed it this year Dan. I've had my share of problems this year getting the motor together for competition. I'm on my third build and still haven't made it off the dyno yet. My first B50 Sportsman block gave up the ghost, failing between cylinders and ended my first attempt. On the second attempt my wildly modified, ported, raised port TW cylinder heads (bought 'em used) started sinking the seats so I can't keep a valve job on them. Now I've got a new set of TW heads on the motor and hope to have it back on the dyno in the next week. Looks like Richmond will be my first event of the season though since we'll be moving to a new house on the weekend of the Gainesville event.

Anybody see Cindy Crawford's new drag racing book yet? I hear tell that there's a photo or two of my car in the book.
