The engine was still stock back then, thick ring piston and all. My friend Denny McCammon was there with his pop's Hoffco with twin 700 West Bends. We hooked up nose-to-tail and ran with inches separating us for lap after lap until one of us ran out of gas. Yep, we were still running gas and McCulloch oil back then. Neither of us could gain nor lose more than a couple of inches in all those laps on the 1/4 Mi. oval. That was a fun afternoon. A short time after, McCulloch sent my Pop a prototype factory 5.8 C.I. stroker kit, Pop did the Jim Butler port tricks on the '10, and then it was all over. Even the next year when I had my new Go Kart 800 with a ported Mc20, Pop could still outrun me with the stroked '10. I soon gave up and built a stroker of my own. Ted
Great stuff you guys!
