Re: SS/K Stick Shift Shootout Class Nationals May 2014
 

My brand new engine suffered a failure on the dyno Saturday. I had the cylinder heads updated and part of the deck on #4 just came apart. Luckily the bottom end was not damaged. The guys at Trumble Racing Engines gave it a great try sunday and today trying to weld it up but it didn't happen. So right now the class nationals don't look good. I guess some things aren't meant to be.

Noooooooo! Don't throw in the towel yet. Driving down with Tony Fillipone to this race, really looking forward to this Shootout! I think you should take a motor from someone who decided they WEREN'T going to the Class Nationals, obviously they don't need it! lol

C'mon, Ed you've got to bring your car,, somebody please bring a set of heads for him.
A lot of work has gone into this shootout, not to mention the family setback suffered by Ed. He deserves to be in his own race within a race. Any help out there? I hope so.

I'm hearing Ed got a new bullet together,,, that's great news. I'm really looking forward to the shootout and I plan to put my camcorder to use. I'm hoping Rob will be there shooting also.

As of right now, I will be there. Will see how Tony's car does testing this Saturday.

I hope all goes well this weekend for you guys. We don't need anyone dropping out of the shootout this close to the main event.

Sorry to hear you're dropping out, Dan. I'm an old '66 Nova guy myself, so I'll definitely miss seeing your ride. Hope you feel better soon, Take care.

Congrats to both finalist as those were some high winding small blocks.
Any word on how many cars showed for round one of the shoot-out.
