History
Back in 2000, professional videographer, Steve R of Monterey, CA bought this 1930 Ford Model A Tudor in its stock condition . He then proceeded to set it up as a hot rod. He installed a Riley 2 Port head, big gas tank, bucket racing seats, and many other features.
In 2015, Ken H of Pacific Grove, CA bought the car, and refined it to make it more road worthy, and prepared for quarter mile racing. Ken has raced it five times at Santa Margarita and one at Eagle Field. There are some shots of it in Hot Rod Magazine, and we have three videos of it racing to share.
