Still have't heard if they have been able to find chevy powered go carts to make sure everyone can sleep ok at TSR.  Scary times!

Luna's Ford engine style that won 2 WoO titles and 3

Really Minthess???   They can't advertise a charity go kart race on here without you bringing up the Chevy/Ford thing again?    Goodness man, you really just need to go get counseling or something!   I've never seen anyone more illogically obsessed with an issue that really doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the grand scheme of things.    You need counseling and possibly medication so you can be at peace with yourself again.   

You are right.  I am approaching the level that the 410 sprint car world is infatuated with chevies.  It's a serious issue for sure.  Thanks for trying to help.

^^^^^ Always glad to help of course, and you're right it's a serious issue.   It just seems that you're the only one afflicted with this serious issue...

Considering basically every soul in all of 410 sprint car racing runs a chevy, it looks like about everyone has it about as bad as I do

That might be right, and maybe you're just the only one who whines about it incessantly.

Tony has the money to buy oodles of only his own favorite engine style till the cows come home.  A poor guy like me can only talk about mine
