It was indeed at Silver Bend for a short while, I ran it around a couple of times, and it seemed to handle the curves (more like corners) quite well. Roger Stabler, former GM of the Yolo Shortline was in charge that day. The owner eventually drove off most of the talented guys, that's probably what prompted Shortline to remove the engine. I believe this is before Erich's #3 that Tommy mentioned came onto the property.
