Bad news! I drove the truck to the track Saturday night and then to a Cruise In. I went back to the track and made a pass after the race was over. The clocks had been unplugged so no time slip. The truck felt pretty good. When I turned off the return road the motor was knocking. A friend named Jerry and I tore it down to the short block without actually Finding much damage. I have to borrow a Cherry Picker to get the shortblock out and torn down. I think it stacked number one Rod bearing. We will see.
I hate it but if it won't survive track passes I don't need it. We will get it out and fix it.
