Bill was turning 56-58 when he drove the car, and we were short shifting 7500-7800 instead of 8500

The rebuild was due to the fact that we found out that rod bearings dont last 3 years, so a refresh was needed. It is a constant struggle..trying to keep a 25 year old war horse competitive with the hardware some guys bring to the races..

We finished the rebuild the night before this DE so we were just breaking the car (engine) in.

The video hardly captures the experience, The acceleration and handling are unbelievable. You close on other cars so quickly.
