When Kevin and I arrived early this morning it was raining pretty good, but we got the canopies set up so we could keep the display dry and by noon it had cleared out and the racing was starting. I took some pictures but neglected to bring the cord necessary to download them to my computer, so I will have to post them when I get back. Kevin has some cell phone shots that he will post as a follow on to this thread. There was a lot of interest in my 3D printed cylinder heads, which have been updated since the PRI show. I have three of the 3D printed heads here, with two of them bolted on a fully machined intake adapter. Also I have a single four intake that is 3D printed and fits the intake adapter, so the whole induction system for this setup is on display. Also on display is a prototype SOHC head that I am working on with a guy in Australia, along with my SOHC rocker arms. Plus all the usual intake adapters, timing covers, and some prototype valve cover castings.
I got to spend some time talking with Ohio George today, and he seems to be doing very well. Also talked for a while with Diamond Jim Brady, who I've never met before. Of course Tom Posthuma and Rory McNeil were there, and it was great to meet Rory since I'd never met him in person before. Also chatted some with Blair Patrick and Barry Rabotnick; Barry's trailer is parked right next to mine. He ran his Torino down the track a couple times but was having trouble getting traction; his MPH numbers were pretty good though.
By the way, Ohio George has a 427 short block for sale that looks to be really, really nice. Its a standard bore top oiler block with the complete Ford reciprocating assembly, including pistons. Has all the paint marks you'd find on a virgin shortblock. George wants $3950 for it. Anyone who may be interested please send me an email and I'll hook you up with George to discuss.
