Be sure to illuminate your license plate.
I did this when I had the bed off my 150. Just be sure to attach it securely, tip ties will fail btw. Got half way to work and it fell off. There was no damage to it till the car behind me ran it over,

Technically its North East Seven Three's since NY, NJ, PA, etc are not part of New England.

That reminds me that I need to upload some of the other videos, not that there was anything all that spectacular this time around. Perhaps tomorrow afternoon I will have some time...

Possibly. I made several trips back and forth to the trailer so I didn't get every single race.

Nope, no lights fixed yet. It was raining like crazy, and I don't have a garage to work in. I have had my fair share of working in the rain, haha.

Anyone have some insight into this:

I had heard that some guy's newish Ford truck left a stain on the track.

The guy telling me this thought the truck was 'stock' and blew up something, either the engine or the transmission.

I commented back to the guy that maybe the fella had chipped his ride without thought to beefing it up first.

Eh Ray:

As for your floor jack and plywood scheme over dirt.

This is the combination Jack & Stand I mentioned to you at the race.


My two are marked the same:
Powerbuilt Limited All-In-one Truck Lift Jack 11" -21"
(800) 423-3598

Google will find the 800 number and PowerBuilt, but Powerbuilt dot com fails to load.
