  14. You guys do it right, thanks. Oh, and tell me that's a Jag engine with 3 S.U.'s in that rail. Too much.

    Yes, I was with Pete and his Model A Roadster when this guy pulled up and said "I'm looking for the Flathead Meltdown guys, looks like I found them!"
    I think he was running around 16's and having a ball doing it! Great stuff!

    Matt--8 Yup, that's the aftermath of the Imp blow up. Looks terminal!

    Neil Bennett in the Batten special. Had the pleasure of meeting him this weekend as it was my first time in the meltdown too. First built in 1935 and based on a 32 chassis he has owned it over 30 odd years now. He has a pretty serious flatty in there that can rev to 6 grand!
    Ran a 16 on saturday with a shit load of wheel spin off the line then ran a 15 on Sunday. What a hero!

    Real nice guy too and was really supprised when we, the meltdown racers, voted him the best entrant getting him the wonderful price of £100 ($160) worth of Tattoo vouchers from Madam Butterflys. His face says it all.

    I want some pics of Neil's tattoos when he's done. (as long as they're in an appropriate place). Lots of bitchin' cars there- it's been said before but you guys overseas do it right!
