Mike Cooper
Paul Spotts

I know there are others, chime in.

Brian,
Well come over to Michigan the 15th of September, I should be at Milan racing in their Quick 16.



Just to change the subject a little bit...........I was the ONLY Roots blower cars that DROVE my car to the staging lanes and back to the pits after my runs! Also I was one of the few Quick 16 cars to do so!

Why would anybody in their right mind run a blower designed in the very early part of the 20th century??
