"Live" from our sea to shining sea tour 2015

Tom, Gene Monahan is on his way!

We were at Meteor Crater on Friday. We are now at the KOA in Williams at Exit 167 until tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing ya'll.

Larry getting the race car ready for tech!

Much to Larry's embarrassment at the parts store, he discovered that Saturns do not have any plug wires!

Larry, What are you going to do for a fuel sample valve?
You may want to put a petcock on the fuel pressure gauge port,if you can get at it.
Of course you'll need to remove the Schrader valve first.

That thing looks bad fast.

Larry is that thing a 2.2 motor, if so it about the same thing my boys raced in sport compact dirt cars. I my be able to help you out a little bit. One tip is to get rid of the air cleaner . Also have them make the pipe bigger than stock. If it is a 2.2 I could get a header shipped to you to use, cobalts use the 2.2 and it looks like it has variable valve timing. Tom 402-329-6795

Not to mention passing fuel check. Maybe load it up with VP and drive around awhile.

. Good luck!

This sign was in the KOA in Williams, Arizo

This was all of us waiting on our bus yesterday at the Grand Canyon .A bunch of tired puppies... but what a terrific day. Alice

I'm going to remove hose on bottom of tank, drain tank, found a tee and a ball valve, install them in the line with hose clamps. Contacted a muffler shop close to the track and having them make a pipe to replace cat with a pipe and a bung for an O2 sensor

The best news I've had today is from the "Dog Pound" in La. Cooter used to bracket race one of these cars and has a computer to plug in that is three tenths quicker than the stock program. It will be in Vegas Wednesday. Bill, I will leave nothing at the trailer.

When I read that Mr. Hill would be racing a Saturn, I asumed it would at least be a turbo Sky. You have to admire a man who travels across the country to compete against the big dogs with what appears to be a stock Saturn SL2?! I can't wait to see if that little car can slay some giants!
