    Yeah man, your roadster does sound good and is a blast to go hauling ass in, but watching the vid of you eating massive shit on your mini bike through the mud puddle is by far superior!!! These are a couple of my favorite pics that I took from the last PRC run. I'm glad all of us buddies where there with our roadsters having a killer time. Good times my friend!

    You want to hear an old nostalgia flathead powered roadster REALLY winding out, get a copy of "Saturday Night Drag Race" by Scatman Crothers..It's the first thing you hear when you play it.
    Half inch stroker, 25 tooth gears, 3.54 rear and all the go fast stuff.
