Remember Jim Wangers name can never be mentioned in a magazine associated with Royal since 1964. So you will always think Milt came up with these ideas and had the others guys help him build it. As you read, observe and think about all of these articles. You begin to get the "REAL" picture of the back room at Ace Wilson's Royal Ponitac and the direct association with PMD just a few miles up the road.
Enjoy.

If you go back to this article on page one you will see Brian Balish standing in the back ground. He is standing behind the starting line as Dave Warren in the Road Runner launches against Milt in the Tempest 350HO. Brian is next to his tool box behind them. Brian and Dave could tune these cars like no bodies business.
