    LOL just like the good old days. But the 409 driver :rolleyes: needs a backup camera or a proximity warning buzzer.

    Is it me or is "shimeny crickets" rather quiet since the Meltdown?

    If you don't know who that is... Just ask any of the guys picking up his multiple pinion shims off the track...
     
  5. I thought that was you...

    Or are you the one known as 'Shimstack'?

    Why don't you just send the engine Trans and rear ended down here where it's warm all year long and I'll stab it in the ol afx car and the. Bring it to meltdown next year so I can let you see how good I located the taillights on it when I cut it up lol

    I hear you Jackson
    I don't even have a jack that will get mine that high so we could photo shop it.
    The Meltdown thread that Moriarity started has a link to some good pictures of you in you digger.

    Guess my next challenge after I put Jackson on the trailer will be to see if I can get a coaster under the right front.

    You must have had some of Chris's brownies lmao if you think you are putting me on the trailer the only way that's gonna happen is if mine is broken (which I'm not gonna lie and say can't happen) I'm running for the yah-hoo cup so I'm gonna put 150 miles on it Friday then drive it to the track and win this thing right after I shut you down again then it's Deucedup's turn lol Don't underestimate the power of the Mighty Mouse motor

    If you need any tune up help let me know.
    That may be my only chance.
