    This is a very good, well sorted car. Bill is a first year driver, and he's currently points lead for FV in the ARS. No DNF/DNS.

    Pitman Purple? LOL!

    I did not know that John had a shade of purple named after him. I can understand Freeland Purple because every vee from Freeland has purple on it.

    Thank god, that it is not a Gorski engine.

    Sorry, about the hi jack, otherwise a good D-13 for someone starting out in Fv racing or hillclimbing.

    Last chance, it's in the garage to be gone over through the winter, it probably won't be purple next year, It really only needs a good nut and bolt check and a tune up on the engine (Plugs, points and condenser). This car finished the season as the ARS point Champion with the FRCCA. If it doesn't seel soon I keeping it to chase down FF's with next year! Thanks to everyone at the FRCCA for helping me finish my rookie year with a Chamopinship.

    Heat is ready in the garage, so the car will start it winter overhaul later this week. It will probably be midnight blue with scoops all over the place. Steve McWillimas car was fierce looking and I have to try to go with that. Last chance or I keep the 2009 Class Champoin FRCCA FV.

    Default gorski engines

    Gorski engines are enerally good. They did have some problems but that was with creativity, you never know unless you try something a bit off the normal.

    Default color purple & gorski engines

    I helped john put his D13 together when he brought the kit home from autodynamics in Marbelhead, Mass. The purple was a stock gelcoat color, Tom Gunshannon also bought and raced one the same color. By the way the engine in johns D13 was a Gorski engine that was replaced later by a Bill Scott engine, brfore Bill Scott bought Summit Point he raced formula vee and super vees successfully.
