Ok going to the track tonight. I plan on being there a little after 7 as well. If anyone want to meet up before hand let me know. If someone is needing a helmet let me know, I have a few extras that I can bring. 602-361-9434

I reclocked it this weekend sot he drain points straight down and re-ran the drain line, but it still smokes. I don't know what the hell the problem is. I have it down to either the turbine shaft seal, or something internal to the engine.

All that's left for me to do to run the truck though is fix my meth kit.

Were you having fuel problems with the FRC? Did you get it fixed? How's the scar count coming?

Yeah got the car running good now. Got to put a new set of plugs in it and change the oil before tonight. I have plenty of scars from the bike wreck, both my arms look like a zebra with light and tan skin, my back has huge spots that will never look right, and my knees have little red scars on them Over all not bad for sliding 150ft down the 101 with a t-shirt on.

You coming out to the track tonight?

Thanks Ruckus, I bought a helmet at that Yamaha place for $50!! I'm probably going to Speedworld tonight. I haven't taken my car to a track in about 5 years. The first time I went, I didn't even know what staging was. The guy on the line started yelling at me because I went through both yellows three times in a row. That was a good time!!

Damn man, I'm just glad you lived through it. That could have been a lot worse. I'm not ready to start going to funerals for my friends yet.

I can't come tonight . Might go Sunday morning with my buddy that works at Midway, but he hasn't decided for sure if he's gonna go. Next weekend is out too, headed to Cali to visit a friend. Maybe the one after that, lol.
