Re: Open wheel racing today in England
开云体育Amazing cars!? If you are there, look
up Jim Bartel, the Shadow CanAm team owner.
If Goodwood was to approve the entry,
Jim's 1909 Christie reproduction could be in that race by 2026.?
That would be so cool to see.

I bought it in Portland Oregon a couple of years before you bought it. It came with a very nicely made engine stand that supposedly came from Eddie Meyers shop. I wish I could offer more information but that is all I have for now.?

Re: Way, way off topic ... on our own Gene Ingram
Kudos to the legion of Ham operators, who have provided so much public support in times of need and disaster, even to the present day when floods, earthquakes, etc. destroy the infrastructure needed to support cell phones, internet, and media broadcasts. ?

While many of us will be enjoying a full or partial eclipse of the sun, our own Gene Ingram will be joining a group of ham radio operators to establish radio contacts and communications.? Information gathered from these communications will ultimately allow a research community to document how a solar eclipse affects the ionosphere and radio communications (it is the ionosphere that provides the “bounce” for radio signals).? ? -- Bill Blaylock Sanbornville NH USA ? -- Bob Storck KC MO USA |

Re: Offy drawings
开云体育Hi James ? Many thanks for such a quick response: Unfortunately I do not have a Bugatti, but its in a Fiat 508c chassis designed in the same year and built in the exact same month in 1939, with a locally made 2 seater body.? ? Gordon White has confirmed the original sale to Duke Nalon and I have traced the engine to Clarence LaRue in 1949, with help from Dean Butler who is based less than an hour away from here. ? I am trying to add to the file, so it would be great to know where you got it from, or fill in any other gaps,? goggshill@....? ? Julian Julian Clarke 07870555705 ?

I am sorry I do remember you now did you install it in your Bugatti? Photos would be great. I do not know the history on the engine but how exciting to hear it run.?
I moved to Speedway Indiana across from IMs.?

Re: Offy drawings
开云体育Hello James ? Yes it would be for you - If you are the same James Long who moved from Grass Valley, near Nevada City, and sold an incomplete Offenhauser Midget engine 9 years - advertised as a coffee table.? It has been a long project
but I would love to know any more about the history of that engine, and happy to share details of the current open wheel package- details below: ?

Re: Ed Iskenderian mugged ... 103 years old - More info
Should have been national news, and would have been if it involved people loved/despised by the media. ? There is a post on his Facebook page giving similar details. March 27, 2024: "Hi, racing pals, I just wanted you to know I was assaulted by a homeless man out in from of my house last Wednesday, March 20th. The Police came and arrested him, and my son Tim took me to emergency to get checked out. I got a clean bill of health and went back to the Isky Plant later that same day. Then I went to Roland Leong's Memorial the next day at the Lions Museum. You can't keep this Legend down! Thanks for your concerns. The Camfather."? -----Original Message-----
