Yeah, the Valiant threw its external oil pump pulley at about 100 MPH when we were at the T&T 2 weeks ago. We thought he had dodged a bullet, because when we put it back on and re-started it, it didn't knock or anything. So Ryan went back out to make a run and as soon as he started down the track he could tell it was losing power. By the time he shut it down it was knocking and screeching. It is in my garage, and has not been torn apart yet.

Dan's younger brother just got an insanely good deal on an immaculate 80 newport with a slant. We are trying to talk him into bringing it down. I'm guessing a 23 second car?

That would be great Phil! Keep working on him. Slow doesn't matter, consistency does! I'd love to have a 17+ car field again.

I won't make it. Haven't touched the car(s), but the Cuda should be ok. Almost done with repair of the rental property, and have a tenent scheduled for the 1st of May. But just don't have any extra funds. If I hit the lottery, I'll see you guys :lol:

May not be all that consistant w a 4 spd but I see it more of fun of so many slants than my time. Heck I dont even drive over 55 :shock: guess Ill have to break that rule for the track :twisted:

Glad to hear we'll get to meet you Ssg Pohlman, and your Slant truck(s).

Charlie, keep on that rental stuff and hope we'll see you later in the season!

Glad to hear that the Heath's will be there!

I plan to use my 90 days of protection from USERRA and not return to work just yet. Take the fall semester full time and try to cram all my classes into two days. That leaves the other 5 to get my /6 shooter together and go hunting :twisted:

Romeo, I don't know if that is in stock, or if you have to let them know ahead of time. I will drop Elmer a note and find out.
