Kong was quite famous in his own right with his ignitions. He worked for Winfield when he was a teenager. He and Wes Cooper (also a friend of Winfields and really good with bangers) put the event together. We called it Winfield Weekend. The first year was 1976. To get to go you had to have a Winfield equiped 4 banger.
We had about 10 cars and pickups all lined up in front of Winfields house. He came out and looked at each car and comented about the engine set up. We had Cragers, Rileys, an overhead valve set up on a "T" and a hot flathead or two and my Cook. If you look at the pic of my engine you see a cool set of headers but on the other side were two downdraft Winfield Carbs. Ed did a quick adjustment of them and the car never ran so good.
I have been scanning some pics and will do a good report probably on the Model "A" section cus I was driving a 29 Roadster Pickup.
Here is another pic of one of Ed's Model T race cars.
