Just curious if anyone was going to the Holley Moparty next week? Just happens to work out that I can make it this year. Never been to it before. Not sure if I want to race or just see the show. Will be a last minute decision if I go.

Thanks for asking, Joel. I hope to make it sometime, maybe next year. Did you get your new motor together?
Cheers, Lou

I haven't done anything with it unfortunately. At least I didn't take anything apart yet. Lots of life getting in the way. Also managed to tear my rotator cuff and biceps tendon 1 year ago. Had to have surgery in last December for that. Was off work for 4-1/2 months. Was out of commission working on anything for 4 of those months. Still trying to catch up on things around home. It's been very hot here since mid June until 2 weeks ago. Lots of excuses, not a lot of results.

hey Joel!
Sorry about your issues.

Hope to see you soon at one of the MidWest races.

Dang, that sounds rough on the shoulder and arm... Hang in there. I had a somewhat similar experience - hit a deer on my motorcycle at 30 MPH on Dec 8 and broke my shoulder blade and collarbone and 2 ribs. Collapsed left lung too. Figure I'm just about caught up and back to normal after 9 months, and I consider myself very lucky.

Best of luck on the projects and catching up at home and work... Whew!

Lou

I believe it as beech bend in KY.


It's a pretty big event like Kentucky's Carlisle. But with racing and autoX events heavily tied in.

I have yet to go to it due to work.

This is a family board. I wish you people would stop using four letter words. :) :)

Moderators got to keep things moderately moderate.

It's geared towards the Gen 3 Hemi, but all Mopars are welcome. It's the Mopar version of LS Fest.

Glad to hear you're healing up Joel.

I did make it there with the valiant. Just doing the car show. No racing for me, just wanted to drive it here.
