Re: sad news

Tom lost his 1940 Ford coupe, and a vintage travel trailer in addition to the contents of the garage. The good news- he was uninjured, coupe is reportedly going to good friend Jack Chisenhall (vintage karter, owner of Vintage Air in Texas), hopefully to be restored

Re: McCulloch at Bonneville??

That streamliner appears on the cover of Kart Magazine, January 1961 issue- thanks to Louie for letting me know. Apparently, it got up to about 110 MPH on a 270cc "XM-84" kart engine at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
