Thank you to the guy wiht the Green Typhoon who followed my wife and I back to the motel from the track... You've got guts to be in back of a Typhoon that could launch a crankshaft at any moment!!! Appreciate the help!
That would be me.

We didn't get too close going down the highway. WOW that thing was really loud by the time we made it back to the hotel.
It's cool to see a wife into racing. Make that thing fast for her.
Ok.gif

Hope to see you guys again soon at a more local event.

Im impressed by your "stand by your side to help" attitude :D

US is a large country and we did learn that "its just around the block" is a big distance :D

We also have this "help fellow man/woman" here in Sweden but this country is so small.. Jeff will learn that "round the block" here is a 10 minute walk hahaha...

Yes Anders the US is big,but the thing about this site is that it brings us all together.

I know for a fact that I have friends from coast to coast,north south east and west here.Some I've met face to face,some only on IM and the board.

The stupid retards on here that constantly throw money at their POS trucks,developing new parts,programing the ECMs to do crazy unthinkable shit,and find ways to fix all of the crap that GM dumped on us then said "**** off." is badass.

Why do we do it?

We just do.

Maybe it's on the brink of insanity,and maybe other ppl don't undestand,but IMO when you boost launch 600 awd ft lbs of torque,everything else just seems Renz.

I mean gay.

In fear of slightly highjacking this thread, and in not these exact words this is the main Reason Robert wanted to bring his truck over here to race.

It wasn't to set some new record run (yes it would have been nice, but wasn't a big priority), it is about the friendship gained by owners of these trucks.

We are all crazy and stupid for owning and playing with them. Outside fellow owners very few people understand and can help. That is the great thing.

I am with Jimmy I have friends all over the world due to these trucks. I have met more friends here, then anywhere else.

Re: Thanks for everthing....

Computer crashed monday... :( sorry have not been able to come on here.

Well.... Got my shipment from Comp Cams today.. .Valvetrain is all here.
Pistons will be here in the morning... so I can have all that up at the machiene shop Thursday.

Short story on what's been going on. Block I got from Chicago was ok but needed alot of work too. Pistons that were full floated.... ruined the pin lands and have to be used on a non floated rod.:(
One rod out of that set was wiggled.. not a true bend but looked like it was wiggling.. funny.
Crank was ok to turn.
The crank out of her truck was totaly trashed... could not be turned at .40
I hope to have the block back together next week. Going to get the 65lb/hr injectors and ecm...
Debating weather to put it back together with stock turbo/injectors and see what heads and cam do or go with the turbo and injectors/tune... Be nice to see what a little head work and cam would do. The tranny can't handle much more power and it'd be nice to take it a step at a time... I'm so confused... Lol....
Thanks for asking guys... realy appreciate the support!

I agree 1000%.

I have a friend thats into DSM's that came with me to the Nats several years ago. He couldnt believe how everybody racing where helping each other...even people in the same class. He still talks about it.


BTW...Jeff. Did the Louisville flooding affect you at all?

I was gone, but came back to grass with heavy signs of water, and signs of about 1-2" of water in basement at one time. 1st time since I have lived there basement got wet. I suspect it was just too quick for it to handle. Was gone by time I got home though.

It's not a car club, it's a support group.

I'm stuck on step 1. :)

Re: Thanks for everthing....

Heather is currently looking for a job, She left her's 2wks ago. She is a CPA (accountant)
and her firm where she was for 6yrs got aquired by another larger firm. She stayed there at this new place for a year trying to fit into "big" firm mentality and it's just not her thing.
She's got a few offers but not accepted one yet.
She has not allowed me to work on the truck with out her here. She want's to learn how it all works. I have all the machiene work done.. all the parts bought and sitting here. The crankshaft is in and I mocked up the #1rod and piston cam and timing chain so I could have a buddy of mine help me degree in the cam. I've done it before but it's been several years ago so I asked him to stop over and guide me through it. The Comp cam was right on the money. I bought all the bushings for the cam to set it up if it was off.

Heather talked to me last night and said she's got all her resume stuff out and does not have any more interviews yet for next week. She'll be able to come over during the day and I'll get the bottom end assembled while she helps. I've still got some port work to do to the heads before they go up for machiene work. One is almost done.

Heather took all the stuff off the firewall and preped it for paint.. and cleaned up some of the parts...
So I guess alot has got done but it's not back running yet... as always personal things come up and they become priority. She's definatly itching to get back to driving it. I'm ready to have another bay back in my shop...

Thanks for asking... it won't be long once things streighen out around here Lol... :tup:
