Actually, Chris developed the Quincy pipes in the fall of 1958 following a serious butt kicking at the NOA Nationals in McAlester. Vera (Mrs. Christner) was at that race and made the statement, "You've got to make those motors faster"!
Wives can be so cruel!
A great deal of testing was done by Chris and his son David at Twin Oaks that fall, but the pipes weren't raced until 1959.
A set of "B" pipes was sent to Mercury that fall for evaluation.
If you round out and straighten the original welded up 20-H toilet bowl pipes, you'll find they would be very similar to the Quincy pipes.
Hmmmmm?
