I'll be looking at sweepstakes later in the year along with all the other displays on this bucket list trip.
Thanks for that, Glynn.

If anyone would like a copy of a recent article I wrote over here about Fords in the 1928, 1929 and 1934 Ards TT races in Northern Ireland just drop me a private message

Henry used his winnings to help set up his new Ford Motor Company and build the famous 999 cars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_999
He personally set a world speed record in the car.

I've always wondered if Ford built the 289 small block in honor of the 999. It had 289 CuIn - per cylinder.

I was at the first Goodguys Del Mar show and got a lot of questions about the A engine in my Zipper roadster and pointed to the lettering on the back. I said that Ford was still making A crate engines. On the last day of the show, a couple of guys from the Ford display visited our spot expressed their anger over my claim that they were selling A crate engines. Seems some people actually tried to order one!
