A couple of guys in the Studebaker club ran an early Lark with the little flathead 6 this year. Yes, slow. No, not last.

Apparently the Supreme Court will allow you a lot of leeway if you bring a great theme or an incredulous, ridiculous swap. I read about a guy who was given something like 15,000,000 penalty laps, but they let him race.

2018, just going through old photos...

Volvo makes the best blues. Mazda makes the best red, but Volvo's got a lock on blue, and it ain't even close.

^ Any idea as to what year Volvo that is ? I'm collecting samples of blue paint for a old truck I've been restoring. I've been leaning toward the GMC Dynamic Blue that I've seen on newer trucks, and it seems very similar to that Volvo color.
