Hey motleyphuckincrue,

Who was (is) your gandad?? Maybe I worked on his motors. I was doing most of the cyl head work at Myles (now VICTORY Engines) in 67-69. Then spent 4 years in that crazy canoe club the US Navy, Went back to work @ Myles in 74 which is when I met Ray Banyas. Worked with him untill 76 when I moved to SC.

Ray is a GREAT guy who really knows his "stuff"!!! Next time you see him tell him "Bruce from SC" sez Hi !!!

This was a great place to race in the 60's, then when Aaron Polburn and the Eisenhart's ran D-42 in the 70's this was a really GOOD place to race, they knew how to run a program...too bad the management of the last 15-20 years t D-42 has screwed it up, they really need to get a CLUE !!!

Spent MANY weekends racing at 42 in 67-69. 62 Chevy ll V-8 B/MP and then 68 Javelin FS/A. Worked at Myles Engineering Cleveland building race engines. We wern't so fast then but had a LOT more FUN!!!

@1aceracer I know gary miles too. He built my grandad's sprint car engines for years. Ray owns it now & is my current builder. Small world, lol
