Dang they've out numbered us. lol Long time no chat ND. Hope all is well with everyone. The river is sure getting close to coming over the banks in a lot of areas. All my fishing spots are getting swallowed up 
Well at least I had a good time driving the muddy back roads 
.
Hows all your projects going Dave? Did you get the race track built yet?

It has been a late start for any dirt work really. Just to damn wet yet. **** 90 mph! Its a fricken bullet! You're going to ave to take it down to the BMX track in cottonwood park, that place is a blast with a fast rc.
I don't have anything planned for memorial weekend yet. Usually just play it by ear, depending on the weather. Hopefully do some camping somewhere.
Pickups been chugging along pretty good. I put a good 150 miles on her this weekend and it ran great! Still need to get the front end work done though. lol I put new u joints on the front d shaft which took care of the grinding noise I had for so long.
How about your truck, did you test the new tires out yet?

Lol, ya it can haul. I use two batterys in it, if I run them pareallel like I usualy do, iiit tops out around 50 mph,but when I switch them to series, it doubles the speed. Have only been able to keep it under control at 3/4 throttle that way. Lol
I've had it to the hillside skate park. Last I checked the bmx track was being redone. So haven't used it there yet.
That's good to hear, mine sits behind the garage a lot now, I've been driving my new to me 94 Buick. Lol. Haven't really tried the tires besides on the snow and ice. Like last. Months last snow storm we went on as road trip, and I could clip along at a good 70 mph in a couple inches of snow.

Oh that's right, I forgot about your buick. I bet that saves a ton of $$ in a month. I know it did for me. It sucks having a truck but not wanting to take out a loan to drive it. lol I'm lucky to drive mine 4 times a month.
Well one of these days we should go hit up the desert or something. Or as its getting nicer we should plan a bbq or something.

Pool party would be sweet! I'll have to make it earlier this time and try to keep up with you guys. lol
I went to the desert last weekend but only made it to the T in the road N. guard was there doing work so I couldn't enter. If you go this weekend let me know, I'd be down to check it out.

That last party, took a lot to keep up with us. Lol starting at 8:30 might have been too early.
Ya, I'll let ya know if I go or not. All depends on if I get my roof rack installed or not. I made one of them basket roof racks fro my topper, it has $ounting tabs for 8 lights. 4 in the front 4 in the back.
Hell, maybe if I feel up to it, I'll swap the efi off my pickup in favor of a Carb. It still has issues right now and no one seems to know wHat is wrong with it

The mass air has got a glitch in it somewhere, it has a 3/4 throttle hiccup, its kinda anoiing in a street rig, but I'm going to swap that stuff onto/into a 351 in a international pickup for the wife to wheel.
So, guess loong story short, nope I'm not ggoin to sell any of it.
