Dan do you also remember the "roadster", that Orville Yeadon ran, "briefly"? That was a former Indy car, built here locally, and sponsored by one of the local Banks here in Seymour. Chuck Buzak was the builder, if memory don't let me down, he used up some of the "small" chevy stuff, that Mickey Thompson had, in fact, a friend of mine and I, had a lot of those parts at one time. The Chevy blocks were about 7/8's scale. Chuck ran a gas station out here on 50, just before you get to the I, the station is still there, I think it's a BiRite now. He stored all the stuff that Yeadon didn't get, at an old garage in Reddington, and someone broke in and stole it, several years ago. Actually wasn't a roadster, it was a rear engine Chevy, sorry about that. Bob
