Dan and all. I'm looking forward to doing our start up event and some technical seminars at Branson. We are as Dan noted above looking for a "Start Up " candidate for the event.
This years was our first "AA" and it had not run in probably 40 years or more.. Engine was free but had no compression. 4 plus valves stuck. We pulled the head, got things freed up, and did what we had to do to get it running... and it was going in 1 hour and 6 minutes.
Terry Oberer, my since passed Mentor and friend started it 25 years ago. We have been successful every year getting one going. Some go quick, some not. We've done pistons, etc. It's a fun event for us and we think it will be a cool event of a different nature at the national. It is a participation event. Since Terry's passing myself and Mark Schenberg here locally put the event on at his Modern repair shop Car Doc Automotive. His new shop is awesome!
If you have a possible candidate please drop me a line or send me an e-mail at
[email protected]. My PM box is fairly full so I will try to delete.
preferably one that does NOT have a stuck engine but has not been run in 25+ years.
Crusty is good!
Here's a link or two to a few recent ones. Admittedly the awesome video from a few years ago was an easy car. Although it had not run in about 24 years.
