Re: BB Scout 800s

["Bill Thebert" <bthebert@domain.elided>]

Just want to get things straight here:

"Banshee" = Scout II, not an 800.  Banshee also has "Gryphin Racing Team"
in big white letters on the sides, not "The Binder Bulletin" in black. 
Engine is a tweaked Chevy small block.  This is the rig Theresa was
driving.

"Gryphin" = Scout 800 with the 454+ big block.  This has "The Binder
Bulletin" in black on the rear quarters, and the tilt front end.  Sounds
like this is the one in the mags.

Regards,

Bill
