Bill,

  Whyich tire did you get?  Going to go Hoosiers(some time) also.Probably going with  14x15 32s. Wouldn't want car walking around bunch on top end might lead to folks thinking I'm nuts.What can I say tuning TA/FC on IHRA tracks  too long , I figure if its going straight its broke. Just listening to my elders. ;D

Great day, got some wire wheels off an auction on ebay.

Anglia spindle though, looks like I'll be placing an auction for my early Ford Spindles.  :D

John,
Did you have wheelie bars at all during this launch? Or only the weight bar on the front axle is limiting that wheelstand?

Thanks,
