Re: Nats Recap & AutoX Results
Given the amount of traffic, high rate of speed, and danger of doing what we did, I was trying to signal as much as possible for Harmon's sake mostly so he knew what direction I was going in.

Re: Nats Recap & AutoX Results
I didn't consider the border crossing.. hope you also got the 2xl t-shirts as well :lol:
I had a great time in BG. I want to say thanks for the chance at doing the autox and for beginners luck I won 1st place.... (though not by much!!) The rain on the way into BG was pissed me off but what can we do about that. Only thing is I missed out on the sat dinner as I was told to be outside at 6:30pm but that was at 6pm. .oh well.. no biggie... just doing the autox alone was worth the drive... I had a great time...
Though I never got the chance to try yuengling while in BG but to my surprise when I go to open the tailgate to empty out the syclone I find this..... :rotf:
Thank god I didn't get checked at the border because I know they would not believe me if I said I didn't know it was back there!!!!!!!:rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:
Thank you though for giving me a case because if I like it at least I can have more then one!:tup:

Re: Nats Recap & AutoX Results
I want to make a quick post saying Thank You to the organizers. Renz, Tom, Hood, Adumb, Morgan and many others that helped them.
I also want to thank all of you that took the initiative to say Hi to me and make me feel welcome. In the past, I've been an azz so frequently around here, and pissed off plenty of you enough times that I was truly astonished that there was anyone left that would actually still talk to me.
Very humbling. Thanks. DaveP

Re: Nats Recap & AutoX Results
it's all good Dave...we ain't mad at ya :lol:
The fact that you drove there from Cali alone deserves a handshake. Did the fpr swap fix your fuel leak?

It would not be nats without Dave P.! Btw thanks for the advice on my code 43 problem. Turned out to be a bad knock sensor.

Re: Nats Recap & AutoX Results
This can be a problem with saying Thank-You's. Someone gets left out.
I scheduled my 2-1/2 day drive East so I could stay with and spend time at Jeff's and with the JSM Crew and Dave A for Thursday night. I knew Dave was driving down Thursday, and he and I were in communication during the day.
During my drive, DesertSy developed a slight drive train vibration, that became more noticeable the further I drove. I knew I had a bad U-joint in the rear drive shaft that I forgot to change before departure. I attributed the vibration to the bad u-joint.
I mentioned the u-joint to Dave. He mentioned it to Jeff. Jeff went to the FLAPS and purchased one. Upon my arrival at the JSM facility, we changed-out the u-joint. I also received hospitality, a place to stay for the night, wash the truck in the morning, and was treated to breakfast Friday morning prior to the ride to BG. Jeff didn't let me pay for the u-joint, either.
I'm sure there are tons of similar side-stories associated with Nats 13. This is one of mine. Thanks, Jeff. And Dave.
PS: I also arrived at Jeff's with a leaking, non-operational inter-cooler pump. Jeff had one, but it didn't work. He put in a call to Jeremy. Jeremy handed me a pump at Nats on Friday upon his arrival. It worked, so I put it in on Saturday morning. (There is a pic of the truck up on the curb in the portico of the convention center so I could get under it safely to change the pump. That's why its up on the curb, if you were wondering what that was about). So I had functioning IC system for the 2,200 mile trip home. Thanks Jeremy.
Again, I had a blast, and am glad I participated. Thanks to everyone that attended, and those that participated vicariously through the "eye candy" thread. Without attendees, there wouldn't be an "event".

My ass. Look at it.
Re: Nats Recap & AutoX Results
Sitting here trying to remember Nats a week after:
8+hr layovers in the Denver airport are wonderfully terrible.
In flight meals of whiskey and pringles do not satisfy.
Looking to spice up you lovelife? Get a tracheotamy and forget about coming up for air.
Michael Hood and White Lightning have something in common: they will both make your toes curl.
Pope shovels the peep pressure on deep with name calling followed by large pours of bathtub hootch.
Safety first at SyTy Nats!
Ian gives the same look before reaching for a slice of pizza and reaching for an AK: The look of will-power dissolving.
I'm not sure what to think about two grown men swimming in a hotel fountain. Especially since there was a prophylactic floating in said fountain the next morning.
Joe Keller still looks 22
Late night donut runs are best done with 9 dudes and a bulldog. You should also make sure that you are safe.
Chonilla ain't to be trifled with..
Feeling scared? Just go to the Safety Arer.
New Mexico=Cancun=Donkey show.
Hank Williams Jr. was in attendance. I think he had too much shine and never left the bathroom.
Have you ever tried to pee with Hank Williams Jr. staring at you? It takes some serious abdominal fortitude to get the flow going.
Hell, I cant remember half of what happened...
