Franken was Jay Kavanagh's car. How did the #65 car do (img6098)? Haven't seen a running Manta in a long time.

There *was* an actually competitive Miata, the "FrankenMiata", which had an even more ghetto setup than we did. They took the stock exhaust manifold, flipped it upside down, and mounted the turbo on top of it: http://photo.milewski.org/v/wheels/24hrs+of+LeMons+Thunderhill/IMG_6143. jpg.html They set the second fastest lap, came in 4th overall, and I think won a class award. _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
