Its only 8:30 you must be real old. I was just putting the flex plate back on the MG motor and discovered I don’t have my torque wrench. Time for a night cap, think I’ll mix up one of my specials. I call it “bottom of the barrel” kinda like when your down to “seeds and stems” 🙄 Just look in the cabinet and mix up what you got over ice. Good night Don.
You must have just walked in the door then because I’ve been counting MG’s here not sheep. I read a note somewhere may have been here of a MG in a shop in Yonkers that raced at Dover occasionally, I think it was a street driven car and was at a body shop. This could be that same one.

“I WAS WEANED AT FREEDOMLAND DRAGSTRIP. I WAS INTRODUCED TO THE 62 409’S, A MOPAR WITH BUTTONS CALLED MR. FROG, A BLACK PRIMED 55 CALLED BRUTUS. AS I GOT OLDER WE RACED AT CONNOR ST. I REMEMBER BOBBY DELSO,S SMALL BLOCK MG, J&J CUSTOM SHOP AND A FRIEND KENNY NESTER HAD BURKE AVE SPEED SHOP. I MIGHT HAVE SOME DATES WRONG IN MY MIND, BUT WHAT A TIME. I HAD A BUNCH OF PICTURES THAT WERE LOST IN A FLOOD, BUT I STILL HAVE A FEW FROM DOVER. I WILL TRY TO DIG THEM OUT”.
Right on Dino I was looking through “old race cars” and could not find anything. I did notice though that a lot of queries languish in that catagory. Have the cars been found? Did the writer give up? Are we on the return road? Will Dino drive a gasser? Stay tune for the next exciting chapter of “As the slick turns”
good point …when I get a Break…I’ll sort -edit and bring some of those up to date and rattle some cages. Ready for this Weekend?..RHINEBECK GUYS ! …Pats BBQ at Noon!
realmongo.
