Notes: This photo was taken in Norwalk, Ohio, at the Motorcraft Finals in 1988. I did not take this photo, but I was there, beneath the car's body. My brother and I worked closely with C.J. Batten from the Batten Performance Group during the development stages of the 4-valve overhead cam motor that Batten manufactured. The designer was Gordie Dollar at the Batten Group (he ran the first prototype motor in a drag boat and won the championship). We were running on alky at this event in the photo. We didn't move up to fuel until after Tosti sponsored us. That was the next year, when Shirl Greer was the driver. We experienced growing pains during the transition, but we were forced by the IHRA to move up. The NHRA would not allow the 4-valve, overhead configuration in competition. They refused to review and amend the classification. The IHRA felt it was an unfair advantage because the parts were not available for production at the time. To make any effort to work out any bugs, we tested the car in full view of everyone at events during qualifying attempts. Not exactly what most would want to do. The B-4 was unbelievable, and had we been able to complete development, I feel that we would have changed what was the fuel motor of today. I could write about this for some time, but space wouldn't allow. The name of our Original car says it all, "Awesome." Thanks. |
