Yes Jim, thats how we did it... we just threw the head in the bridgeport and wherever it landed that was where the plug bore went, our process was extremely arbitrary, more like a game of pin the tail on the donkey... all it was capable of was setting the national record in its competition eliminator class, doing well at the divisional level, winning a national event and running .72 under the index... I guess even a blind squirrel gets a nut every once in a while huh???? Nice try!
