Thanks for the clarification, Bob.

Ross4 years ago Mike introduced me to Brad Hadman, Brad made this remark about Mike, Your son has been the only customer that has stood by me for many years, he has helped me in many ways, he has been loyal with me when others just move on to other Chassis builder's, for that I will always be grateful, you have raised a great Son,
Brad Hadman will learn someday what loyal means, Mike will still be a customer of Brads when others have disappeared, Brad needs to step up with a public apology to Mike, Clay and all Team members of the 104 car.
From strictly a fans point of view, I have a newfound respect for Mike Kloeber. I'll never forget being in Indy in 1989 when Snake cleaned the table in his Skoal Flopper w/ Mike at the helm........
I've always liked him, but watching and listening to the way he has handled and carried himself during this situation has shown me what a true class act he is......
was also there in '89 and have also since admired mike's abilities.
i've always wondered if mike & the snake had something that weekend
giving them that advantage - if i remember the snake got the record @
5.17 & 5.19 and the rest of field was around 5.30 and higher?
wasn't it mike k. who also experimented with the v-grooved blower belt
a few years ago?........and the TF body with no windshield.......
and after working with c. powell/reebox TF, took some time for more
education?
long thread, which i'm too lazy to read, but back in around 1992 Garlits monostrut engineering was contracted to an aerospace consulting group or something. This was purchased by a grant from the Museum of Drag Racing. The design was designated "public domain" by either Garlit's decree or because of a requirement of using museum grant money.
So for those that know how to use the "public domain", engineering info is there for the taking!
