I would think he would be the easiest engine building/tech writer in the world to find, it seems his name is in most every magazine in one way are another, either as an author are some one is quoting him, some good, some not. I’m not sure but I think in the book of Genesis God sent Noah to him to learn about the coefficiency of gopher wood for the Ark, I’m probably wrong; I’ll have to research it. If your still looking for him you can find him at.

Anything about internal combustion engines, nitrous, Oh what needs to be changed in the make up of fuel to get max performance out of nitrous.
please look back a couple of posts this is a three part post because i don't know how to do a multi quote.
Also you could ask more on his 100 mpg. carb story.

Even Better

Don
I just corresponded with David Vizard via email.
How would you like to do a two way interview with him about the struggles of being a multifaceted tech writer/engine builder all while wearing a champions belt of race wins in a self prepared car.
I know it cannot be easy to be a journalist on a large scale and produce race-winning cars, chassis and engines.

I think it would be awesome, with the two of you kinda being in the same boat.
With your background and his, y’all would cover every nut and bolt of racing from Mini’s to Cup.
