    I think you have a serious weight advantage over Lloyd. It will be interesting to see what happens.

  3. Fingers crossed Guys!

    Stubby is all back together, but would NOT run late yesterday & today is my last chance to get it figured out, because if I don't fix it today I will not be able to take it to London, Ky for the Gasser race & my Buddy @Lloyd's paint & glass will win our match race by default!:(

    Over the last two days I added the safety stuff (driveshaft safety loop, 5 point harness & new helmet) so there are going to be no issues if & when I get to the track! I like the change from Green to Purple & feel like it is more my car now....Just got to get it to run! LOL

    God Bless

  6. Absolutely No Excuses....I did not get Stubby to run right for the Gasser Race & I am sure it will turn out to be something that any other time would have been caught right away.

    I drove the 6 1/2 hours each way to be there to support & be with friends anyway. Also made sure to introduce myself to the promoter Herman & his wife Laura with apologies for not having the car there to participate after all the hype on FB, the poster, Etc

    God Bless

  10. I just found out that the Blue Suede Cruise at Summit Motorsport Park (Norwalk to most of us) July25th-27th has for the 1st time added a Gasser Race Event & I happen to be off the road this coming week, so I get a reprieve after not getting Stubby fixed in time for the event in London, Ky over the 4th of July weekend.

    Going to be in the shop working on him to fix what is wrong starting Mon day & go Friday. There are 2 qualifying passes on Friday, one early Saturday & then race later Saturday. Fingers crossed after all...It's Just a Small Block!:p

    God Bless
