Congrats on the win... now you have some money to buy a block 
I've got 4 blocks in the garage; the boy gets to keep the money (he earned it). Dad (me) pays the bills for the new motor.  Now I just need to dig down in the couch cushions for some change to build a spare motor...
Congratulations!!!, that is a cool 64.

Thanks everyone! Quote:
Congratulations. That's a good win and a nice way to end the season...except the motor deal. At least if you're going to have trouble, it's better to have it with the long winter ahead rather than early next season. Sorry to hear we won't see you guys at Atco Saturday. That is usually a good event. Good luck, Tommy
Thanks Tommy, the motor has been on borrowed time since it cracked at the beginning of the year. This crack was new; the sealer we had in the block would stop the leak by the time I was back to the trailer, but the stress from the burnout and going down the track would open it up a little more every time and dump more water. We had to put a gallon of water in it Sunday before we unloaded it from the trailer.
Good luck at Atco! Wish we could've made it.

Congratulations! I was there and saw it first hand. Kevin was on his "A" game and he's very tough to beat once he gets going. It was nice to see a Mopar win that class. Those 422 guys have some really nice cars (and fast) and you guys (plus Ron's brother Gary and the guy in the red 65 Hemi Plymouth) represented the Mopars well. Great job!
Haha, I found out about "If you remember Bill Schmidt (blue 68 cuda); he got RU in Class II." When I was paired up with him, I thought, this looks like a street car and I should win this. Welp, I found out real fast how good he is... I lost to him in the 2nd round. He's a nice guy and I was happy to see him make the finals
Thanks Joe. Bill's been racing since the mid 70's, been running that car in basically the same configuration since 1986. I think the motor's been in the car since '92. He's a very good driver.
There were a lot of nice Mopars there- early b's were well represented, as were the 68-70 b's, second gen a bodies (I've always liked the second gen barracudas), and even a few c and e bodies.
Ron- it was great seeing you there, nice 60'!
