Dean headed out on the highway, and gravel today - with a racer.

Mike,
You can meet some of them if you go to a National Tour. I met Dean at the Canyonlands tour quite a few years ago. He had driven his car there. I commented that he drove a long way to the tour and had to cross the Rocky Mountains to get there. He reply was, "Last week I was on another tour in Colorado". Canyonlands tour was a hub tour out of Kanab Utah. We visited 4 National Parks on that tour.

I read the title. First thought, "Clean shaven, suit and tie?" Ah, but this was AWSOME!
Thanks Rob!

Was just waiting to to see a bit of oversteer and see that back end step out like a real dirt tracker! Love it. What a unique piece of Model T history. Thanks Rob for getting that motor back in a T chassis and showing us what it can do.

Thanks guys. Still having trouble with the five/ball.

It runs rough/spits at idle and low speed.

Did you get your ball situation sorted out so they are the same size?

Great video. Looks to be running pretty good. Love the "Born to be Wild" sound track.

Thanks Steve. Hopento have it up and running at the Speedster Reunion in Lincoln. We have the Indianapolis Speedway just prior to that.

Dave, the balls are a little larger now. The seats were worn and the old balls fell through. I suspect we have the wrong weights, sizes, and or the seats are uneven and causing the problem(s). However. It’s above my pay grade…
