Bernie - now you have my attention! McDonald Bros.... Mike Moore small block, 9".... I like the sound of that!!!! Seeing Mike try to get the power down while on the West Wyalong Airport Runway was a blast! Got any pics? What are McD Bros doing to your car? They seem to have a really high standard of workmanship there.
What to do in Illinois? Retrace the Blues Brothers movie, I suppose!
Gateway seems to be a great venue for the Run'n'Gun. Scott, Hersh and myself dropped in there last year for a quick look. A quiet chat to the security guy, and we were in! I reckon we should have done a few laps in Hersh's Dodge Durango. No lap records, but it would have been a laugh!
You might want to think seriously about getting back to Las Vegas for the following weekend. If you're into drag racing, the NHRA round is in LV on the 23 - 26/10/03. You can't possibly miss the Shelby Factory, and Finishline Motorsport. They're both in LV, both beside the racetrack. One of the Shelby employees (Kris Kincaid) is on this website, and he took all the time we wanted to show us right through ALL aspects of the Shelby factory. Fantastic. After that, walk across to Finishline and be prepared for more alloy Cobra eye candy, but with more of a motorsport flavour. these guys build the Spec Racers, and every car in the factory is worth spending time checking over. Dry sumped, EFI alloy big blocks, 13:1 compression high rpm small blocks, chassis' all across the factory, more alloy bodies stored against the wall. Avgas hanging in the air after one of the racecars fires up to move to the wheel aligning bay. I think you get the idea!
Yeah, I think you should get to Las Vegas.....
