Ed PinkTo be honest, what I know about engine building is pretty pathetic considering my livelihood depended on them working at high capacity for hours on end. And I have always regarded engine builders as mysterious wizard-like creatures that worked their magic far away from the bright lights of the race track.On that past part I am kind of right I think!But there is one name that is part of racing folklore – and that is Ed Pink.Now a sprightly 91 years old and still building the odd engine in his shop in Newbury Park, CA, Ed was a fantastic interview and I found myself captivated by his life story.A huge part of the Drag racing scene, as well as sports cars and Indycar, Ed could make an engine perform like no other. He just had that touch that teams would pay dearly for.I loved this conversation, but I still think he is a wizard.JB
