    I know this is not the forum for this but I don't care. As a few of you may remember my son was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma ( bone cancer) last June. Today he finished his chemo!!!!! I'm so damn proud of him!!!! Woohooo!!!! He had his first round under his belt just before the meltdown drags last year. He insisted I not cancel. Go have fun, I'm good. So we came up. Been a rough road. This guy is a badass!!!!!!!! Thank you for letting me post this.

    He has to have corrective surgery on his leg. The prosthetic rod is a Morse taper and slipped when they put it in. So not sure he will be up to 3 days of hangin at the dragstrip. Wish he was coming though.

    Whoa.As if the chemo wasn’t enough,he gets that as a door prize too.He must be one tough young man.
    We’re praying for a speedy recovery for him,and we’ll get lots of video,so he won’t miss much of the action.
    We’ll have to put on a hell of a show for him.

    So......It feels an awful lot like it’s time to start slingin’ some shit again up in here.
    I mean,it’s been what?Two days since the last trash talkin’ post?

    You guys can do better.And I’m frankly,I’m disappointed in all of you.

    Aaaaaaaaad GO!

    Yeah,but your dumpster pickins beat lots of cars that are bankrolled by folks with waaaaay deeper pockets than us,Brother.
    If I had half the ability you do,I’d call myself an expert.

    Scott I just ask a lot of questions......but it is getting tougher to find people to ask.
    Most of mine have gone to the Big 1320 in the sky.

    Also,while we were on the way south for a vacation a while back,I tricked Mama into swinging by the Holman Moody shop with me.
    I explained to her that it was hallowed ground for Ford guys,and that there was more history contained within those walls than we were ever likely to see again,and she kinda gave me the “blah,blah,blah...” look...lol
    Turns out,once we were on site,Lee Holman gave us a tour of the facility,and a history lesson about H/M and Ford racing during the 60’s,Mama actually had a great time........And Lee was kind enough to share some tech info from their archive room that may have some of you scratching your heads after getting freight trained on the top end by this lil ol “289” that’s now packin’ some extra H/M rage.
    That means you,Jeff.xo

    This 427 S.O.H.C. Valve cover that looks like a decorative item,is actually the pattern that all the subsequent Cammer valve covers were cast from.
