    I am sure excited about it!:bananaman
    Yesterday I changed the oil and plugs. Got the alternator back on. Set the valve lash and pulled those mufflers off! Got the timing set and I am ready for the 1/4 mile blasting!!!!!!!!!! Also while doing that I discovered my little tranny leak, it seams my drain plug on my Hughes pan worked itself loose.:smash:
    Hell of it is.....it has not rained here in a month and it will probably rain on my parade!:cry: But hopefully next week I can post some times and talk racing!

    I know how he did but I will let him tell/show you. I do know he went a 10.58, he is flying. There is much more to here/see but as I said I'll let him tell you.
