That's a damn shame about your friend, my condolences. I would have stopped by if I saw the tent.

I got there kinda late, 1pm. Still got to see some decent runs. Hopefully I'll get my car down here soon, fix everything that is wrong with it and join in on the fun. I did see the the tags/stickers on the cars for those groups.

Again, sorry to hear about your friend.

So I finally got my 416 stroker assembled and i'm ready to check for the correct pushrod length. Does anybody local have one of those tools and can swing by my shop and assist me in the measurement? I am willing to pay for your time and knowledge. I have got an idea on what length to use but am not certain. I don't want to be wrong on the length and cause running problems or have noises.
