Wednesday, June first at Pacific Raceways.

11:30pm Just got home from picking up the other truck. Hasn't been run for about two years. I stuck a battery in it and after about fifteen seconds of cranking, it lit right off and went up on high idle all on its own. Jiggled all the electrical switches about a thousand times each until they worked. Only one that still doesn't work is the heater fan switch, but I think it may just be no good. Didn't think the headlights and dashlights were ever going to come on, but after a lot of push, pull, and twist action, they all seem to work. So far, see you tomorrow. Heater core in the Maverick took a crap, so I'll have to loop it in the morning. Have to get tabs for this truck(grumble...) and I think that's about it.

 

Damn, sounds hardcore. Gotta admire your determination. If only this gig was bumped up to Friday. I'd say we'd have a fighting chance at pulling it off.
:16suspect

 

rain seems to ruin everything. I'm showing up anyways hope there's people there anyways lol.

rained out.

 

Bummer that you came all that way just to be rained out....Maybe next time will be much better...Was good talking to you Ray...

 

ray, if you came that far you might as well just keep on coming a few miles more and race with me in tucson saturday or phoenix the week after. sorry about getting caught in the washington rain festival. january 1st to december 31st. seriously, hope you get to run soon.

 

Sorry to hear you took the shaft Ray. This Saturday, I'll dedicate a 'power-brake triple 360 reverse donut perry bonzi roast' and finish with a nitrous take off while flipping off the local finest...all in your honor.


s! ss! ssss!

 

Boy did that suck! My ordeal began with my last post and lasted all throught the next day as I continued to pour money and time into that hunk of crap truck.
The short version:
Lots of failures on the part of the truck in driving rain and a grand finale of a 30-40mph limp the hundred plus miles home, arriving at 4:30am. Got up at 7:00am for work.
Soon I'll be going to bed.

 

OOOuch! That was painful just to read. Let's all wait for a CLEAR BLUE sky dry day.
Then we'll all meet down there and party like a bunch of s@n's a b!tches!!
Now try and get some rest...you've earned it.

 

clear...blue skies...dry day...washington...i think last week was all were going to get lol, but if the day arises im game i can go pretty much any day of the week since i live so close.

 

Loki,
Od's Blood! Perhaps you should persuade thy sibling Thor to wave Mjolnir around until the sky clears!

 

Loki, I agree. I'm game, cause I live so close also. Just let me know.

 

They're running right now fellas! You should have gone. I like the new live webcam they have at the track. http://www.pacificraceways.com/prtv/index.cfm

Perhaps a Friday. Mercurycruizer has that day off. Hopefully, Ray isn't too sour after that all day fiasco that blew up in his face. Be nice to get us all there in the same evening.
