Dumbo The Flying Elephant

Jim after being in business for years I'm pretty thick skinned, but old scar tissue is no match for razor sharp edges of plastic and steel. Testing this past weekend didn't go well.

Today is new and Dumbo is being fitted for new pipes, life is good.

Larry,

Are you coming to Tulsa?

Atlanta or Tulsa will depend on the weather. It will be a little farther to Tulsa from Ohio than Commerce Ga.

Yes but in Tulsa you don't have to drive through Atlanta!

I have to fix engine before I go anywhere. I'm so tired of all this crap that is poorly made at a high cost. A loose cam basket on the cam gear what a pos. Thank goodness the FAST system would not allow it to restart after the run. The cam signal was lost.

Larry I feel your pain, after 38 years running the same combination, refresh two engines and can't seem get more than 2 passes with out an issue. One had issues on the dyno and the other one just made it a pass and a half. Not sure weather to go fishing or gardening .

A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows.
If you’ve never experienced the joy of accomplishing more than you can imagine, plant a garden.
