from Lee Johnston:

1974 Opel Manta

Raced at Mid Ohio, Grattan, and Waterford Hills for 14 years. I can't drive a stick shift anymore. The car was always fast and reliable. It has the 1.9 liter CIH motor rebuilt just before I retired it. I have many spare parts, some new and many used. 5 new ...

I bought this B18B1 (i.e., non-vtec) engine a few years back for a project that never materialized. I have new pistons (wiseco) and rods (eagle) as well if you're interested (at additional cost). I can deliver it in or near Ann Arbor, or I can bring it to a race weekend this season.

mine got rear-ended on my way home on sunday. it'll go to the scrap yard this weekend. replacing it with a new one is ~$10k. sure would like to find something used...

anyone?

likely on me. I'll double check whether I have them.

"aw hell no!"

thanks Greg.

there was talk at the last membership meeting about having a memorial of some sort for Jerry Pintar at the OCSC. iirc, it was (tentatively?) set for this saturday? is there any further word on that?

hey Jonathan, you should have access now.

Hmm, I'm "not authorized". Member #1964. Thanks.

guess I'm out of the loop and don't have access

I know you've been around a while... are you currently a WHRRI member?
