Who’s The Flash ? ? ?

Hello . . .

Thanks for showing interest in the 8.2 Liter Cadillac engine family. My name is Courtney Hines, president of Flashcraft, Incorporated, here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here's a brief rundown on the collective experience the Cad Company performance engine parts has to draw from. I've been around these big Cad's quite a while. I worked at a local Cadillac dealer years ago from 1972 until 1979. One day, a friend and fellow wrench, Marty Dike, and I (after many "what if?" discussions), decided to make a street sleeper out of a ‘70 Coupe DeVille. When I woke up and realized the strip was a lot safer, I started campaigning it in brackets and Super/Street. In ‘77 at the NHRA Bracket Finals, I put it solidly in the 11’s at 4500 lbs. at Bill Heilscher’s Green Valley Race City in Texas. Now it runs 10’s at will, and has since ‘83 . . . Hence, the name FLASH CADILLAC. Those of you with trucks will be happy to know the tow vehicles for our race cars are also Cad-powered.

From 1980 ‘till present I have owned one of the largest independent repair facilities in Albuquerque, which gives me access to a whole lot of equipment and personnel (many ASE Master Techs, including myself), which is great for R&D. Since the acquisition of Cad Company in 2001, we have two race cars, plus dyno access to further improve our program. The previous owner's experiences and technical data have been graciously passed on to us (along with the Cad Company performance parts line). They're 16 years, and my 32 years cover a lot of Cadillac ground.

It's been my privilege to work on all kinds of classic and antique Cadillacs, including a private collection of almost 200 Cadillac cars! This has given me hands-on experience with old Cads, going way back into the ‘30’s and the mighty V-16 motors . . . Well . . . You get the picture. It's not just Cad 500’s that Cad Company knows.

Looking forward to helping you with all your Caddy needs . . .
