Dear Customers,

          May marks the completion of our daughter Victoria’s first year of graduate school. She is doing very well but she is looking forward to summer. She has a full summer schedule planned with trips to her Grandmother in Florida, sister in Ashville, and old roommates in Colorado and Boston. In between she will be helping with several projects at the shop.

          We are working on 2 new catalogs. One will list high performance cams for antique engines and the other will list factory performance cams for older engines. The antique catalog is done except for the cover design and should be available by June 15^th. Ask for your copy. 

June 5^th at US 13 Dragway in Delmar, De will see a heads up Street Car Shootout organized by Drummond Racecars in Laurel DE. Classes will be Outlaw Street and Real Street. Check the track website for details. www.delawareracing.com has it all. Look for 7 second elapsed times and 180 mph speeds in the outlaw class.

Camcraft day at US 13 Dragway was May 22^nd and was well attended. The feature show was a bad 8 race. The weather was great as was the food.

          Delane Leedy of Leedy Automotive in York, PA reports that Tom Slack picked up a heat win and feature win the first night out in his #8r Outlaw Stock car at Thunder Mountain Speedway in Knoxdale, PA May 7^th.

          On the drag racing front, Drummond Racecars dominated a Street Car Shootout at US-13 Dragway on the 26^th of May. This was a makeup race from an earlier rainout. Steve Drummond won Real Street with a 8.51et @159 mph. In runner up spot was a Drummond customer Josh Leavy. In Outlaw Street, yet another Drummond customer, Mike Bradshaw, took the win with a 7.72 @ 180mph. This is the kind of action you can expect at these Street car shootouts.

          I have decided to separate my Monza racecar. If you need a good 385 cid Chevy engine, $5,000.00 will get it. 618 hp on the dyno. This engine is not worn out. I also have a Trans Specialties Powerglide with 5000 stall converter, for $1200.00. Less than 25 passes. Dedenbear CC1 Delay box $200.00, Car with good tires, motor plates, headers, current certification, $9000.00. Hooks anywhere, very consistent, easy to drive. The car is still together.

          Check our web site for details www.camcraftcams.com . Click on the banner ad on the opening page that says Camcraft racecar for sale. Call or e-mail with any questions or offers. We will consider boats or campers in trade. NO PROJECTS PLEASE!!! May also consider nice antique Oldsmobiles 1964-65 Cutlass or 64-66 Cutlass Wagon.
