Don't think so on the WiFi.

I'm thrashing. Looks like I lost another U-Joint.

I'll be under the car in about 15 minutes. :shock:

There is supposed to be Wi-Fi at Champion, but it's not always working. I'd call the track.

U-joint replaced.

Departure time from Halsey is now 10am. I need to pick up a spare U-joint for the trip. It will be in at Brownsville NAPA at nine.

Can you do Ten-ish Josh?

The angle on the pinion is good, it's the alignment side to side that's getting me. The Ford rear doesn't have the same offset the A-body rears have. Note to conversion folks.

I will be traveling at 55 mph, so anyone that can't deal with that will likely need to motor on without me. :lol: I need to keep the revolutions of the driveshaft in check while cruising.
I'm going to need to find an 8-3/4 for the Dart.

Fopar? What's the plan? How's Beth doing? You still in?

You guys will have to keep me informed for next year's dates... I'm now the project manager for a 2 year project at the future South Medford High School... so the boss would probably pay for my gas as long as I was doing a 'site' review(Friday morning)... :wink:

I gotta get my stones ordered from Sioux for my valve grinding foray...


Good luck guys...

Sorry, but I can't do 10-ish. You're about 2.5 hours from me and I'm getting up around 9 AM, maybe a little later. I get cranky if I don't get a good night's sleep so this is best for everyone. I'll probably be at the track around 3 PM or so depending upon departure time and cruising speed. I want to make Friday's Test & Tune and shake off the red-light blues.

It's Beth, I guess she is doing good. They were to do what ever it is they do this afternoon. My wife isn't home yet so I don't how it went (should be good not like the first one they have done).
Yes I'm still going, not that my staying here would make any difference on the outcome.

Hey D.I. I have some stones for my seater and do you have a valve grinder? If not I do.

We'll grill a burger in your honor Tristan!

I'm looking forward to seeing your giggle-gas-bumperless Duster-Monster go down the strip at Redding!

So Doug, who's driving? Is Allan up, or are you going to take the Dacuda down the strip on it's new mill? :D

Hopefully I'll get some Lights this trip!
