3 - same car, same summer, 2003

Took the 68 Sprint to the test n tune in Indy - crazy idea, 200 miles 
one-way - but it was fun.   overheated the heads,  dropped an Exhaust valve 
the next month.

fix All the valves -- new, reputable, experienced shop.  Drive to a club 
event,  drop a intake.    take head back to shop, restack every thing. 
Drive car to another club event.  take car to Iowa ICE kart track event, 
drop another intake.   replaced heads.  All is well.

Good news?  Got to borrow a very fast coupe built by Rob Brady.  record book 
shows I beat Landers that year,  life is good.

I wonder what the record is for the number of valve seats dropped by 1 
individual?
