He was once behind me on the same lane in Maple grove. I was glad that he wasn't flanking me in the next lane when we pulled up to the tree. Embarrassed I would still be.

I see he broke in the Final, great showing anyhow Rich... we were rooting for ya! I doubt it is a "big inch" SB as the class is a weight per cube from 8.5-9.49 poiund per cube class. You can run a splayed or canted vavel head in BM but I'm pretty sure he still runs an inline W8 type deal. But could be wrong.. Cool car at any rate and rare to see an old muscle car running in a Modified class for sure. Congrats on the Runner Up for sure!! "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

I know for a fact its a small block I think the cubes are less than 400 inches. Maybe he will come on and post as he does occasionally. He has been driving well and the car is running well a Win is coming soon!

He's an ace machinist at Shafiroff engines, but races a '62 Dodge Max Wedge tribute. Oh by the way, he smiles when he see's my car and so does ValiantRich. LOL.

When you said BIG CUBE I assume you meant 440" plus as that's seems to be the norm these days. Love to hear more from him about it, have friends that run the class and are under 370" gets heavy for sure "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

Videos of Richs Valiant and Scott Coves Daytona are on Classracer.com both impressive cars. 68 Dart 410 / 904 92 D150 original owner 21 Ram 1500 Quad Cab, Big Horn , Hemi ,4x4 23 Audi Q5 16 Honda HRV

Weighs 3050 with me in it. It was running great until round 5 and I didn't want to hurt it in the final so I took the tree and drove down the track. It hurts to lose that way but it is still together and will race another day. I suspect a major vacuum leak, maybe sucked in the intake gasket.

I really enjoyed watching you make rounds on NHRA.TV
