Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Well I feel like a Glutton for Punishment right now. I'm loaded and ready to leave in the morning. When you go from 80 degrees one day to 30 degrees and rain and you are trying to go racing? It makes you question your Sanity. But we are heading down south in the morning.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Be careful. Highways are slick North of you. Had to scrape windows before driving anywhere after work here in Dallas. Hopefully the moisture doesn't migrate that far South & spoil the opportunity.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Thanks Scoti. It's just wet here now and around 32 degrees. Luckily the ground is too warm to cause any issues. We're heading out in a little while.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Things didn't go well in Belle Rose. I made two hits and burned up and exhaust pushrod. I had other issues I didn't realize. It's all valvetrain related. I have the motor out and the pushrods are being sent back again. I have an issue with three rocker arms that I'm trying to fix. Spare rockers seem to be unobtainable and I'm not sure mine are up to the task. I'm calling all over the country looking for spares as T&D are 12 weeks out. I can buy a whole set but that would be probably close to $2500.00. That isn't happening. Just another example of what's going on in this country unfortunately.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I found some rocker bodies at PAR Racing Engines yesterday and ordered one to fix my wrecked one. I also ordered two spare Intake bodies. You just remove a clip and change the shaft out. I also found some complete rockers from another builder and may order one each complete intake and exhaust. There are two different intake rockers, one left offset and one right. I spent most of the day yesterday on the phone or examining parts. Everything else is going to be ok. I should have everything including my pushrods by the end of next week. That will give me time to get it back together and back in the truck.

That's one ugly pushrod. It didn't hurt the lifter though. |

Do you ever run out at I30, the old Redline track. I just started running out there in 2021. Its a nice track. I will be out there tomorrow with my S10. XRP is a very nice track and when I am not at I30 I am usually at XRP.

Just got back from I30. It rained so they had a late start but did get a few runs in. The little S10 runs low 6.30's at 108 but I run a 6.50 bracket. Today first round win was a 6.55 on a 6.54 dial in. Second round I thought I was too smart and bumped the brakes on the top end when I should not have. So that put me on the trailer.
I30 was running bracket Friday Night, Saturday Night and then Sunday morning. I only got in the Sunday runs. I am pretty sure I have seen your friend out at Extreme before. I will make sure to say HI to him the next time I see him. Attachment 2175244 |

https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Well I got this far on Thursday. I replaced three rockers and my pushrods showed up while I was working on it. I ended up two days ahead of schedule. I reused my intake gaskets for the first time ever. They were stuck to the heads but tore a little around the water jackets. I couldn't find any so I just glued the hell out of them. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds Saturday morning I stuck the motor in it and by noon was almost done. Ken came out and helped me finish it up and we got it running. |
Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I had all kind of problems at the last race. My ignition switch was dropping out causing random no start issues. I found out I had a warped brake drum along with a bad axle bearing seal. I replaced the ignition switch hey it was only 53 years old. I'm waiting on the bearing that should be here today. I'm taking my drums to get them turned. They haven't been touched in 23 years. I guess nothing last anymore.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Regan, that is one heck of a story, this is my first time reading it all the way through. Your tales of racing at Hallsville and at Gilliam bring back memories from the 90's, I used to race at both those tracks. Sad to see Hallsville gone now. I love your truck and the fact you've had it so long. I've went through several trucks in that time and wish I had my first one back. Hate I missed you when you came through Natchitoches.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Well I was a second round loser in Oklahoma. Saturday I made some really good hits. I was 10.896 and 10.899 on my last two time trials. Sunday morning first round it spun at the hit and got really loose coming off the throttle stop. It was bad enough I went 10.97 but I got lucky and my friend Wendell gave the stripe to me by .004. He should have won that round. Second round I thought the track would come back in since it warmed up. I was wrong and went 10.94 scrubbing a little bit at the finish line. My opponent Jay Bunce took the stripe by .01. There were a few Ducks there but I didn't draw one. At the end of the day my friend Wendell came out ahead in the Jegs Allstar points. He gets to go to Indy and race the Allstars like I did in 08 at the Chicago track. We have the Houston Divisional in two weeks. I'll be getting ready for that over the next week. Maybe I can do a little better there.
