They were definately the premier race team in the NWSA at the time I raced. Although it may have been because they would work on there stuff after the races and then go to bed instead of partying all night like the rest of us. Lol. I am pretty sure they don't oval race anymore as there are no circuits anywhere out west anymore, however I do know they are still pretty involved in Ice drags. Len is doing the tuning, they have a young waif who does the driving and Ken still writes the cheques. Helps to own the largest furnace business in Calgary to. Ken was still ordering pistons from me up to 2 yrs ago now.:d:beer:

team two feathers... went to school with one of there sons, grew up literally 3 blocks from there shop. Parents still live in the neighborhood. remember looking at that race sled when I was 15, thinking, man these guys should have patents on there ideas. a lot of stuff well ahead of its time that the OEs are now doing.

they recently got back in the game. drags if I am not mistaken.
