Re: for you old timers who followed SCCA races

jim,i will check in about the book. the post was a cut and paste from john walko

Clem my vintage race car 1964 Corvette was raced by Ed lowthar back in the day. His mechanic called my car the "Mighty Mouse" since it was a small block. Ed used the car for local Tri Cities region races and used it to teach his son how to drive a race car. I have letters and photos. So whoever is doing a book on Ed might want to see some of the stuff.
By the way with the new pan and the acusump my oiling system capacity is now 14 quarts. I measured everything as you suggested. I just took it to the track to test and the oil pressure was rock solid. So far so good. Jerry

ed was a great guy and a lot of fun to be around. he had more funny stories about racing because he not only raced sports cars but owned sprint cars and midget race cars. i remember the year SCCA put a certain size carb restrictor plate in BBC corvettes so we put on the 3X2 setup and had 6 throttle bores with the correct size restrictor plates and everyone else had only 4 throttle bores with their single 4 barrel carb. i think ed won every race that year. glad it solved your problems.
