Why are the French flatheads banned at Bonneville? (as mentioned above) I really should get out that way and visit sometime. I think his knowledge is more inspiring than his impressive collection!
Because they aren't exactly the same as the early ford ones and they weren't ever used in production cars for sale to the public. You can run them in other classes for oddball power sources (but that would be a waste) , but you can't run them in a flathead class.
the master indeed.. what rag was this in? like to get my hands on a copy... you DID get permission from the publisher to post right?
wish you would have posted this a couple of days ago and i would have saved myself the $6.99 cover price.
I always try to get people's names correct. Does Vern pronounce his name "TAR-DELL", or "TARDLE"? I've heard it mentioned both ways. Awesome read.
Glad you guys liked the story. However, nobody asked us at HRD to reproduce it. Naughty, naughty, naughty. -jp
Don't be like that...if it wasn't for this thread, you wouldn't have sold that extra mag that I bought just because of the "Vern" article...
Now I know why our leader spent that week there workin on his A. Working next to a master.. Cool photos, thanks, i'll pic up a mag myself. OLY. The cancer car lives give to cancer research
