Kevin broke the stocker early and the Super Stock car was smoking badly on every run - after the final, they took a real hard look at the track before running any test-and-tune cars. But Kevin was a good boy and other than fogging a few mosquitoes didn't spoil the party and the top-end crew reported that the car was clean and dry after each pass.

Maybe Bob Frey can tell us if one person ran at both Nats. in the same week, because Dan Fletcher is building up frequent flyer miles, running at Dallas thursday and Vegas friday.

The green car lost something to cause one dead cylinder. Rockers are still on, probably a lifter or cam lobe.
The red car lost a freeze plug & was run without water for the entire event.
I was ask if I could do a quick hone & check out on it. It might have some dead springs & guides. When the rings melted the vac pump turned into an oil pump. Sucking oil out & venting it back to the headers. Kevin is installing the 18 deg modified engine tonight. The word I got around 4 o'clock this afternoon was the green car would stay in the shop.
I guess you can say Kevin, & his engine, were Red HOT today!
For a guy to have engine problems he did a very good job on the tree & the finish line. Congrats, Fine job Kevin!

Hey Adger are you ever going to show up at another race? I am glad to see that someone knows what the heck Kevin is doing. Jimmy Perrone when are "YA'LL" coming to TEXAS? Tell Karen we said hello.

I just had to say hello to you two. I hope all is well with you both. I guess from now on when I'm flying and I'm interested in what Kevin is doing, I can get on this forum to read all about it.

We are at No Problem, of course, with problems...trying to find a dead body (before the gators get to them) to put in the green car so he will have the "correct" amount of weight so he can qualify. Obviously, "someone's" math just didn't add up?!

Sherrie,
I found out what was going on by picking up the cell phone & calling Kevin. You know, I just have to know what's happening. Hate to be a smart a**, but shouldn't you call your "Guy"??
That might be a little more personal than looking at the computer.
I might show up sometime, but spending time with my grandchildren is now #1 priority. I also need to round up all the parts I've loaned out. The car won't run without them.
If Kevin can't find a dead body, just use one of those "Gators" They come in various sizes, weights. Have fun, good luck,see you later.
