" who was Robert (Bobby) Winters ? "

An illegally cloned child derived using the DNA of Johnny and Edgar Winter, a direct violation of the Guitars Act of 2005. The experiment was a failure - the boy showed no interest in music, instead focusing on mathematics.

That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

 Ok, when Gary Nixon won his first Daytona 200, who built the engine for the bike he rode?

 I know that Rod Coates and Charlie Best had something to do with that motor . Of course that 500 was special , developed from Triumphs efforts to go GP racing in '66 .

Sonny Routt...?   Maryland based engine builder.

He made some 910 kits that I lusted after but never could pull the funds together to acquire to drop onto one of the Pre-Unit Twins that I had owned...
