Sam,
The records are kept in storage for safe keeping and I don't like handling the cards and records unnecessarily/ too frequently due to the age of them. Obviously I am trying to preserve them as well as I can due to the rich racing history they contain.
As to a specific request, I am sure you are well aware, especially by now, that there are many older famous racing engines (because of famous racers), especially the 6 cylinders (both Deflectors and Loopers) that Quincy Welding manufactured or modified that have not yet been "discovered" or accounted for. Names such as Gerry Waldman, Wayne Walgrave, Mel Kirts, Sheriff Hatton, Marshall Grant, Billy Seebold, Tim Butts, etc.
I made a rule way back that I would not generally give out the specifics of the Quincy racing engines (including dyno cards) or their serial numbers on the Internet because it wouldn't be fair to the growing population of race engine collectors and enthusiasts in their pursuit of these old treasures. That's why I've held back on putting up all the dyno cards and many other engine records even on the Quincy Looper site. To date, there are only 2 dyno cards posted there and no engine record pages.
The rules are still the same as far as Quincy Welding/Precision Machine race engines goes -- you find an engine and I will be glad to verify it's provenance. Fair to everyone!
thanks,
Paul A Christner
