[URY914]

I want to share a little story that I’ve never told before. I consider you guys like family and you know with all that is going on in the world right now, I think the time is right….

People often ask where I get the inspiration for building the World’s Lightest 914. Well my Grandmother gave me this picture of my Great Grandpa, Ury Woodbury and his lightweight racecar and it has stuck with me ever since. Every time I think I can't get it any lighter, I look at this picture and say to myself, “Cut it, drill it, don’t stop now, do it for Grampa Ury….” (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Sadly I never met Grampa Ury. As my Grandma tells it, he was doing an autocross one day and a tornado whipped up and sucked him and the car away. Never to be seen again. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

This one’s for you Grandpa.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) I love you, man…. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)
