Yeah, just don't spend too much time breathing Carl's witches brew exhaust and, since he's always ahead of me, I tend to do just that! Melts your face shield.

By the way, Steve, if you've checked the Oreville site recently you'll see the "clean up and practice" day tomorrow (3/27) has been postponed to 4/3, so the first points race will have to move up too I'm sure. But if you want to feel out the track and feel like slinging some hay bales, the practice day is fun.

Hey steve,

sooner or later i'll be there.
just before i left i sent out some bids that may mess with my schedule a bit but i gotta work sometimes!

right now i need to shake out the margay and get it new shoes.
the bricks i ran at b-ville led to some interesting viewing for the fence guys.
For some reason they wanted to rename me spinner????
B-ville has a dropped turn at the end of the straight .
i just know can be hit faster than most were doing it.
sadly running bricks for tires and trying to go deep just didn't work.
Lynn Haddock told me where to set my axle so next year maybe i'll have better luck.
i gave it my best anyway !!!

and i will be seeing you in pa. just not sure when.
we can both watch the local hot shoes kick our butts but it'll be fun.

dave

Not my engine Steve, it was on the display table at TBO, pretty bad huh? Probably was running on Nitro, big boom!!!

We saw an 820 at TBO a couple years ago on an Xterminator suffer a "major malfunction". Pix were here on REAR. Vegas '06 saw Terry blow the top of the jug off an 820-think it was Tom Smith's. They'll ALL blow sooner or later! I took the jug off my B Limited 101 at the port line at a Ft Myers, Florida street race back in the late seventies. Did the exact same thing with my A Super stroker Mc10 in Florida in '62. That's the price for running with the big dogs! Nitro speeds up the destruction, but I was running Hi Speed Products pre mix alky at Ft. Myers, and gasoline in the Mc10.
