I was privileged to meet Jon at Engine Masters Challenge events, and talked with him about his beginnings into specializing in Ford racing cars and engines. He is a wealth of knowledge and was easy to talk to about his innovation with any of his entry engines. He allowed me to take pictures of his heads, intakes, and was eager to talk with anyone who was interested. I just wish we had been given good gasoline for our entry in 2018 where 5 of 7 Vintage engines detonated themselves to death due to poor fuel. I finished 2nd due to a blown head gasket due to the poor fuel. Jon ultimately was able to tweak his entry to outscore us due to his engine having less compression and survived the ordeal. I truly miss the EMC and meeting folks like Barry, Jon, Royce, Scott Main, and others who were so willing to share their knowledge and expertise. Joe-JDC
