Live from Englewood Florida

[Ron Ortiz]

Today was sunny and a nice breeze. Drinking a cold one as we speak.

I would like to be racing but I cannot afford it this weekend, but I'm gonna save up for the SSSSA Race in Central Florida June 25th. This is an association race that pays good and is all about S/SS. Got no complaints. See ya all there.

No matter where you are you need to support S/SS.

Tonights forecast, dark, with scattered light in the morning, and continued light until dusk.

U/SA whats the weather like where your at?

Heard the car count was low in Englewood. I've been told that's a great thing... no issues with parking, getting in enough runs (or is that run-ins with the law?), and it'll only take 1 round to win!

Hope you're doing alright!

Yeah but there's no pavement! You have to park in the swamp! At least the food is great! Jim

Hey Ron;

I headed down to be part of the "Live in Englwood". We got about half way there, then stopped to check on the car. Forgot the car. Went back home. Car is in the carport. Tried to start it up and load it in the trailer. Nothing works. Opened the hood, and the engine is gone. Found the engine in the shop, but it is all appart. Rings and bores are tired, camshaft is wore out, valve springs weak, carburators gummed up, and the headers now have extra outlets. I tried to order some parts at the local parts stores. I got asked all kinds of questions like is it a single or double overhead cam, what size injectors, single or twin turbo, etc. I just hope all this new stuff i bought fits and will pass tech.
I do have a question for Ron. I need to fix the holes in my headers. I do not want to use some cheap imported aluminum wrap. Ron, which American made beer has the thickest or strongest aluminum cans, and who has the best price?
Maybe next year I will be ready and can participate in the 2nd Annual Live in Englewood.

Take care and be safe;

Jimbo
