| Get Mummert to build you a serious 312!  This would look like the 50's USAC and early NASCAR all over. Very cool. All you need is to get somebody named Curtis Turner to drive!

| Yea , your right .. the limiting factor is the loose nut behind da wheel  Mummert says the 292 is more reliable for this hard endurance racin remember .. one has to finish to win ... actualy everyone who crosses the finish line IS a WIENNER ( as they say in Mexico ) check out www.lscheller.smugmug.com for some photos |

| I would offer that anybody with the guts, and drive to ENTER the race is a winner. Let alone with a Y block ! I am in awe of this effort. Congrats on finishing.

| Carson...thanks for the post. I really enjoyed all of the pics. Looks like you guys have a lot of fun down in Mexico! Got to get down there one day and see the countryside. Best of luck next year.
