Yea i blew it up running Tayor. The cam bolt was loose and caused the car to jump time. It blew the head gaskets and burnt one of the heads. Im having the head fixed and resurfacing both of them. I havent sold anything to my car just yet and with less than $500 i can have it back together. Im wanting to get out of racing for a while and build a nice full size truck. I didnt blow my **** up trying to run him down, i was out front when the car jumped time. Ask him how big the nitrous explosion was, he clearly seen it from being behind me.

Yea i heard you brought the T/A out on a trailer the other night. Im just tired of sinking all my money into a a car just to go out and run it hard every weekend. I have the money to rebuild my motor and get the car back out but im just tired of working on hotrods for a while. Ill get back into it but it may be next summer before i mess with another toy. Just taking the winter off i guess who knows, i may start building something during the summer if i get bored but at this time im not interested in it. I need a truck to pull a trailer and something to move **** around with. Im looking for a reg cab short bed chevy truck and prefer a 5 speed but it dont really matter. It can be a roller, im going to put a new motor in it but a trans would be nice.

, but do you ever go to the track or do you just run on the street? Reason I ask is because I read that you want to take a break from racing for a while and after looking back I can't ever remember you racing at the track and I probably have spent more time there and probably made more trips down the local tracks than most of these guys combined.
What did you race before your black/red LT1 car?

Chris, we need to get together sometime this week. I got my dad's enclosed trailer, so I'm getting ready for the LSX shootout. I got parts you need and vice versa. Not only that, I'd like to leave when ya'll leave so we can all convoy up just in case. The trailer has A/C so I won't be staying in a hotel. Just gonna sleep on the trailer. I'm sure I'll have room if anyone needs a place to crash or just hang out for awhile. Should be a kickass time no matter the outcome. I'm sure I'll be spectating. Doubt mine will run the number needed to win or even get close, but stranger things have happened.

Just asking so don't get mad and want to beat me down with all the bad *** moves and things you know, but do you ever go to the track or do you just run on the street? Reason I ask is because I read that you want to take a break from racing for a while and after looking back I can't ever remember you racing at the track and I probably have spent more time there and probably made more trips down the local tracks than most of these guys combined.

Josh, give me a call today.
Badassbowties, I hear ya about the rain. I haven't been to the track in a month. How did the s10's work out for you? We have 3 of em at different stages. One is a 406, one is a 434 and the other had an LT1. The 434 should really run
