Model T prevails at hill climb.

For those of you following the adventures of the Wild Cherry II race car and its team we are pleased to report it took King of the Hill at the Auburn FAST hill climb on Saturday with an E.T. Of 8.8 seconds on a 1/10th mile 5 percent grade. There were some bad news A and B powered race cars there. We will probably not race it at Auburn again. This car is the first and so far only model T to take the crown at Lincoln Nebraska are we were invited in subtle terms not to bring it back. There were some ruffled A feathers. Anyway we don’t take it back where it has already won. We have two more races for it before we put it out to stud. After that we will be stepping up on our efforts to campaign the DOHC Gallivan/Rajo powered T racer. We have our work cut out for us. It has more power but is heavier and has all vintage speed parts, no drag racing suspension and transmission brake automatic like the Wild Cherry. It also takes a bunch more talent to drive. We look forward to the challenge and putting on a good show for model T speed enthusiasts.
