I'm at the end of the year race at Pamona- pitting for a s/ka 'bird,and NHRA says-we want a cyl head,intake,and carb. No prob. The driver,(who'm I'll save here) takes off to the pits. I've got some tools,so I start. Long story short- everythings inspected,and p***es tech. pull it back to the pits.(I won't mention destroying the golf cart),anyways,I just had surgery,so I'm moving very slow. In the pits,the engine is being put back together,and a guy rolls up stating that he's from Edelbrock,and want's racer's imput for parts. I'm q-in at the time. Vic is with him,I give him the head nod,and the shhssshh sign. The car owner overhear's this,and say's-Ready- If Vic Edelbrock was here,I'de kick him in the nuts!-Well,guess what? Vic smiles at me,and my buddy turns around,and turns stoplight red.Funny as hell! Embarr***ed=you bet! Vic and his rep ended up hanging out for the Q. Nice as Hell guy. Buddy still hear's about it! Thought I'de share.
Hey next time i see YOU ill be sure to kick you in the nuts.haha. That story is funny as hell though. When are you gonna come over so i can here more bed time stories?
I think thats an awesome story just because someone like Vic Edelbrock is taking the time to get input from the racers now thats cool .
