I liked the grin on Geoff's face in your facebook pictures. Is he going to get to drive the "finished product" though??

I never was a fan of his (far from it) but I always liked the look of that car. Looking good so far & looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I'll jump on the bandwagon!  Excellent work - obviously a labor of love.

Keep us posted, and congratulations on work completed.

So far, if all goes well?    We have talked to Andy Harpell about Geoff Grand Marshalling next years ROC and Geoff driving my car to pace the Field.    It is still in the works, nothing is final yet.    Its up to Andy now.  Geoff is on board with the idea.  2012 is 40 years after he won the Race of Champions in 1972 with this car. 
      I had a good day at Shangr-La II today for practice.  I had alittle carb trouble, but I think I have that problem figured out.  I'm going to see if Bob will let me bring the car to Chemung's opening night and make some laps Fri. night?    Maybe I can get some people to go in on a couple bags of speedy dry with me.    In case I blow her up.  I would hate to spoil the regulars night that way.

Great job on the Valiant. I remember it well from Shangri-La back in the 70's.  I can't imagine a reason AH wouldn't allow

Geoff to pace the ROC field (like ole Blue did the Sizzler this year). I might for the first time in my life applaud GB. ( who
da thunk that?)
