Does everyone know who Gale Banks is? If not try looking him up on Google, the Guy's a Legend and he earned it the old fashioned way, brains and hard work.

Charlie's right! I had a full cover on Jake although we had talked about this. It's not that I didn't believe Charlie but I just liked the way it looked with a full cover. At El Mirage in May I was just over the 130 mph mark and though I'd give it a try so we took the front part of the cover off for the next run and went 132. No other changes.

I don't know how you are pressurizing the driver compartment but my friends Firebird at El Mirage was really dusty inside. He used the mirror blanks for a 1" tube facing forward and the dust is now a non issue. El Mirage dust has a way to get into everything. As a total side note I just returned from World Finals @ Bonneville and we were very happy to pushup the XO/Gas Roadster record to 169.2 mph with a qualifying run of 169.9 mph. For you non LSR rules guys this a 1952 stock 7 port head 310" GMC 6 on gasoline pushing a 32 Ford grille shell. My Y-block is in my 56 Victoria. Hope to see you at El Mirage by the end of the year....Keep us posted..................JD

How about some photos of the Jimmy. I really liked them. Had a buddy with a 50's Sprint car that ran one. When he gave up on it and went to a SBC we bought the motor and stuck it in a 52 Chev Convert. THAT was a fun ride. I learned a lot about replacing bearings with that motor. Probably trying to rev it too high. 302 with a 270 head and a McGurk 5 carb intake!
