Is there any estimate on how many running 20Bs there are in the states?

The RXX-7 is running well, now, with its freshly re-built motor.

As to my knowledge, less then 15 of those original pettit ones are still on the road. I have tried to track them...

P.R. always in the house.

Sevenstock this year for sure...

How many of the 20B guys you think actually go on the forum...

Had to fill up every 2 - 2-5 hours. The few times I drove a full 2.5 hours the low fuel light came on. Spent approx. $1500 on fuel.
