He was more than willing to help me switch to a R1, even though I built my own chassis and was to fat to fit in a ERC. The man loved this class. When we started a club in Illinois, Allen sent 2 cars over most weeks to help us get started.
Brad

That would be Allen. My grand parents lived in Walpole Il right between McClainsboro and Eldorado I think. Gran Pa was an Oil Magnate or at least I thought so, he took care of a bunch of old oil wells.
