Also when ever you make it to the race, come across the pit area, we have parking spots on the racer side fence. We actually just got 2 more for a total of 3. We are between the stands, you'll see a excursion pulling a red jeep Comanche, and then 2 94/95 F350 dually's those are our spots.

this will be one of the 350s.



If you have any troubles finding the track, or our spots shoot me a text 252-342-4940.

Well this morning I had the heater core I put in last month blow out. Replaced it, seems ok. Hope it's not another underlying issue like a head gasket.

...... ^^^^

The one I put in the Ranger last Fall worked great all winter, now smells like it's pissing a little coolant. Inspection to follow...



Got coolant drained and refilled in Big Red. I could kick myself for not putting pet***** in the block last time...

Today I take a break away from playing with trucks, and do a install on the bike...

I ordered this for the Maggie valley trio coming up.



1000w bluetooth system for the bike. Can also hook a radio up to it if I want to, aswell as a 3.5m AUX cord.

Took 4th out of 9 trucks I believe, not bad considering I got the baby motor out of all of them.



Gonna throw some installed pics up in the motorcycle thread of the system.

Good job Larry.

So when are we building a motor for Ol Blue?

The 350 got a little attention today. Pulled the doors off, the door seals, hinges and striker bolts. Taped up two door openings, got two more to go, just need to find another roll of tape. More sanding and just a little closer to priming the cab. Really getting restless on wanting to spray some color on everything. Also behind where I wanted to be. :/ But she's moving along which is better than nothing.

Itll probally be another year or 2 because when I break down and do it, I want to do it right. I want both horsepower, but also reliable.
