Why did you decide to switch to a smaller cube motor? Car looked good!

I haven't weighed it this year but last year race weight was 3350lbs. The wing is from a local guy and the hood is Joe Van Overbech I think. Thanks and I think it would be quite a video of the two cars going side by side at Morocco Saturday.

Joe Van Overbeek is his name. I have never seen his hood on formy's but it looks cool. Your car 60's great man. Mind telling us a little about your suspension setup?

I have BMR suspension throughout, BMR anti roll bar, control arms, torque arm. I have Hal's up front and a set of Lakewood 50/50's out back. The car has a 4.56 gear with a 3.31 1st gear in the trans. 28 10.5 MT's hook it up and thats about it. Nothing fancy.
