You might be 1,000 lbs too light also.

My truck is slow as hell for a built truck, you just put a little spray on your truck, and you'll probably walk away from me.

KeithCrash · 03-06-2008, 09:27 PM

I got more then a little spray but I dont think I will walk away

i think thats a challenge for chris and randy

KeithCrash · 03-06-2008, 09:31 PM

I already know randy can get me. Not by much but he can get me.

If we get there early, this will be easy. At least we can get a group of trucks together. It's not that cars aren't welcome, but our trucks weigh 4,800 lbs and it will be fun to see who can pedal it the best. I would have loved this format the way my truck was before I put the new motor in.

*peaking through the crack*

Where is Slow04, Slow94, DolSVT00, 05Saleen, Lurch and Richard Head?

*runs and hides*

Mike · 03-06-2008, 09:52 PM

Bill is out of commision for a little while. The 2 slow boys might have a baseball game to be at.

So I'm with you Chris on the other 3.

chrisheltra · 03-06-2008, 10:13 PM

I just thought about it I might be tentative. I have 85 boxes (1300 Sq.ft.) of lamanite flooring to install contingent upon when we get the padding for it. Ill keep you updated but for now Im in.

Why don't we all make one "qualifying pass" and pair up like a real race, ie. #1 vs #8, #2 vs #7 and so one. If there is an odd number of trucks, the best reaction time gets a 1st round bye.

Lets say there are 8 trucks. It should be #1 vs #5 #2 vs #6 and so on that just seems more fare to me. Just my 2 cents worth.

For the non-(built block) guys, I feel the need to desire a bulb or two to make it fair.

Then again I need tires to just have a fighting chance.

I think Mike was talking about letting the stock block guys run with their slicks...

I think that would be fair. I know I would have taken that deal on a stock block vs built motor trucks on drag radials. Mike and I were supposed to do a race like that last year.

Now that would make for some good (bumper to bumper racing)

Ouch!

I thought the motor had a spun bearing.

Plus, I only replaced it once.

chrisheltra · 03-07-2008, 10:35 AM

+1 stock block guys on slick sound fair. What do you think Mike?

From the looks of it when Randy and I tore it down you were damn close to spinning them on 2 of your rods.

They always run best before they blow. haha I would like to see the bearings that came out of it.

For the most part they looked good it just that the some of the rod bearing practicaly fell out.
