I remember the name C J Batten from long agobut can not tell you anything about him. How about calling Jack Roush or mabe Steve Schmidt, he has been around a long while also . Later J.Smith 4621 racing

I believe he lives in Romulus, MI. 48174. I think he had everything auctioned off. Here is the web site

Probably one of the greatest head developers ever. Built heads for Bob Glidden, work with Jack Rouse and anyone else that went fast. If you find out anything about him let us know. He is defiantly an American Icon. He should have some type of tribute.
