Pan Knuckle Motor

A different breed indeed. I’m not sure when this was printed, or in what. Think I took it off of Max Schaaf’s blog 4Q conditioning. If you click on the pic it will bring it up in larger format so you can read the text. Thought it was interesting, reminds me of Larry’s and Kino’s motor’s. NEAT!

I understand, 9:30 am on a Saturday is hard enough, but add the below 30 degrees and where is the motivation? This was my first parade in St. Louis.
