Re: [AMC-list] Buttonwillow Results+CdL on TV

[tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

This is decidedly off-topic, except that it's a de facto open invitation for
some Rambler to kick serious butt, and besides, it's slow in here. I have
been seriously contemplating turning my "spare" '61 American into a LeMons
racer, complete with a subset of the Indy 500 engine... total cost to date:
$300. Anyone got a cage for a breadbox American lying around?

It's a shame that the picture of the Fiat 600 won't get to the list; it's
worth it to poke through and find it.
