Seymour is definitely the king of the Iron Butt Riders. Lou and Seymour are the only two people I know that are crazy enough to do what they do! My Butt hurts just thinking about ho far they drive!The vision of him and his 7 month pregnant daughter at a Slant race in St. Louis ON THEIR WAY TO DRAGWEEK is forever the top of my list for tough, especially when the whole week was near 100°.  Greg, you also have to recall I had a pig 66 that ran 12.0s when you were still putting yours together. Seymour straightened me out as to what constituted a "real" street car too.

I guess since Rick grew feathers I'll call Stan out. Heads-up during time runs, $100 and the money goes to the Slant race payout.

A few interesting discoveries working on the engine. I put a dial indicator on my Cox/RAS? Roller rockers. Marked with a 1.5 under roller tip. They were purchased as 1.5 rockers. They measure as 1.6 rockers! I wanted to check the spec on a Roller Cam I purchased from Cox Brothers a few years ago. No cam card furnished. Now that I have some roller rockers I can run the numbers. Problem, It won't clear the cam bearings as it goes in half way. Will and I have been talking and my cam is a number after his. He spoke to the vendor and they said my cam was not ground when it left the plant. Now I know it has never been ground. I have 3 copper head gaskets here, 2 new, 1 used. #1 is .040, CHECK, #2 marked as .040, NO CHECK, it measures .030, #3 used, .028, kinda weird, I guess it got squeezed. I guess.... I used the 3 gaskets to add deck height so I could check piston to valve clearance. I got a measurement today after I got some Manley 7 deg. retainers to fit the valves. What I measured was what I expected with this big head cut. Now I need some springs. |

Nice measurements. Most of the roller cams were sold as blanks (like the one I have from Dave/Oregon). Oregon or someone else can grind it. Nice surprise on the rockers. What is your chamber cc? Fun fun fun... Lou |

And that I have a REV Limiter. That reminds me, I need to turn the limiter down for the "big" race coming. |
