Did he run destroked BB's for a while ?? Like 420 cubic inch or a little less maybe ? Seems like I remember him telling me that the last time I spoke to him at Indy when he was running the Cuda and starting or working on the Avenger.

Just to clarify something also, Bill's car was actually a Sattelite that his uncle bought new, black with black interior. I remember Bill racing it with the faded black paint, then he had it painted orange and added the Road Runner decals.

At the time, most all of us had small cube motors, because the rules were weight per cube. You built the engine to match where you thought you could actually make the car weigh. The largest motor I ever had in my car was 457 inches and the last one I was building for those rules, was a 446 inch, B-1 TS motor. I did not run as much KOS as Andy, Leon, Bill, Mike and some of the others, because I mostly concentrated on NMCA and the HOT ROD series and a lot of the dates conflicted. It was fun though and the group that ran KOS for years, was a great bunch of guys. I still see Andy Mayes and Brian Hicks (D-con 1 Challenger) quite a bit. Maybe we should post a KOS thread, let guys post the pics and see if a mod will put a sticky on it like the SS/AH thread.

The 71 just got out of the paint shop, and now at the chassis shop to be finished. It is a firewall back outlaw 10.5 chassis,carbon fiber interior its bad azz, Biiiig nitrous motor, glide etc. He's itching to get back in the seat. He hasn't done any racing or anything since he sold the avenger, been concentrating on his business and some other projects. I can't thank him enough for the help he has given me the last few years. But anyways you guys will love the car when its finished


One day I will have something cool here.
