Went to the Cruise In last nite and talked to Bill, owner of a 1967 427 Fairlane. He bought it off a used car lot circa 1972 and turned it into a 9 sec car winning the 2012 FE Nationals at the age of 72! He has been racing since 1957.

Several years ago I brought my MM to his shop and Bill helped me with getting my Marauder to stick and launch.
