Who is going to Norwalk?

[Jimi B]

Looks like a no go here... Had to take more off the head to clean up, and the chambers were about a cc too small. I was working on that problem, and came in to a cpl other little snags... And my main helper (RStahl) is tryin to get his own stocker together, so I have been a one man show.. And having his EVO apart, and the 2 stockers, our garage was mayhem. I might have to indulge in a bit of poker, some drinking, some music.. And a little bit of that R rated content Stahl was talking about, but Monday I will be back to working like everyday is the day before the race. Hope my blog will be up too.

I mentioned in another thread that im working with a videographer. One of my main goals with this is too promote sportsman dragracing. I am a lover of all dragracing, whether it be the nmca type stuff, or the pinks/unleashed stuff, but I love my NHRA Div 3 racing. Its what I grew up on. And nobody else is doing anything to bring exposure (read money) to our sport, so Im going to do what I can.. Including bringing some weird and frowned upon combos, and creating some things to talk about... Remember, all exposure is good exposure...

At any rate we may be coming up to Norwalk to get some footage Saturday..

Just to let you know Jimi, the intake is about ready to go on, get fluids and hopefully I dont have a wonky crank wheel....but if it is were actually a go.

Mandie buzzed down and the old man has been monster

But according to the Div 3 Schedule there is a qualifying run and Tech on Saturday too ! That was our original goal for the restart of efforts but it looks like well make friday IF all goes well, which we know is about 70-30 around here.

Can you get her ready for Sat Jimmy ?

And youre right No Press is Bad Press, well have a Vid guy from the Lopez show there at Norwalk for some vid for something, "special" that is coming later this year.....Hell be there on Sat and a couple other stops around the country....

He was looking for an off shooting season project so......

I should get you in touch with him....and let you in on what were doin.

Never getting married again......never two failures at that enough....

Sibling ? Im an only Child, my father had me and said Oh ****, never again....

Just a friend..... And learning VERY quickly how to wrench.......WELL She could tear the car down and put it all back together by herself I do belive at this point.

Im thinking of putting her in my Challenger when its done, I suck at driving so.....and its not what I enjoy......but thats not gonna be a stocker. We plan to get her some seat time in the other Challenger next week.

So youre not getting here either Ryan ? Or are you still coming ?

Playing with Fittings today for the oil feed / return on the turbo. need to reroute the intake to turbo. and just bolt everything up really... then there is that whole megasquirt thing ha. Im not saying its impossible but i have learned early in my wrench turning days if it can go wrong it will.

Regardless ill will be up sat with or without car to fine tune the lost art of the frozen margarita.

This afternoon, we were once again, pulling heads, and intake, and going through stuff thinking, we probably won't make it...then we got it back together, and it started, so we hit the road and we got in late too, so figured we would need to tech in tomorrow and wait until then to run...

But with Drooze, Mandie and me working like a white tornado, we go to the track, got teched in, and actually had a respectable run.

You never know what it will be when you are pushing for a race, but as Rosanna used to say on Saturnight Live, "It is always something...." So you just keep plugging, and you get there somethimes, don' get there others, and the rest get rained out.

If you get to Norwalk, stop by and say hello. We are parked in the green swamp with a lot of other cars, and ton of snowmobiles, and rails.
