Looks like I will make the show. Maybe try and race. Depends if the 4 speed get in there or not! I need to order a 4 speed hump as everyone around here that says they will sell me one........never does!

I am guessing there is a slant race?

I PMed my FedEx guy on Moparts last night. He is a C body nut. Told him to look out for a package from Dante's for me. I ordered a 4 speed hump so I can row the 833OD.

Told him to drop it over the fence and try not to get bit!

I would like to go, but I don't think it will happen. Just did a "mapquest", and it is a 1,400 mile round trip, for me. Have to check and see if last nights lottery ticket was any good.

Now that it's your "ugly blue Duster" I'm not nearly as offended by that comment.

I called it ugly plenty of times, but now that it's yours (except the engine and tranny) I would never consider calling it that. In fact, it's real purdy now!

Besides, I love ugly cars! (especially that one)

Duster won't make it. Tranny is out and no time to finish the 4 speed swap.

I am going to race the Cummins.

I am guessing 7:30's!! 7 minutes and 30 seconds in the 1/4!!

Packing the tent!

Slant turn out was miserable. I think there was only 4 slant cars. Turn out for the show, and the racing program was terrible.

Weather was rainy and cool. I did make one pass in the truck. Guess my E.T.

I've seen quite a few of the earlier Rams run high 18's low 19's. Guy out at Vegas 2 years ago won $1500 in the dialing for dollars in one by running a 18:960 on an 18:96 dial.

I believe that event is just too early in the year for people to gamble on the weather with $3.75 gas and $4.39 diesel for towing.

There was a good turn out last year. Fuel and weather is a big issue.

Was Seymour there? He said he was planning on it. Maybe not with his Slant car though.

Sorry it was a bad turnout.

Seymour was there after noon on Saturday. He was in a Lexus. He was up inside the guy's trailer with the slant Arrow.

I didn't hang in the pits as I didn't need to do anything to my truck. Maybe 3-4 slant cars?

I didn't see much racing.
