Woo hoo!

I am an hour away at my Mom's in Parma, Ohio doing chores. I passed route 42 along I-70 late last night :).

Plans are to zip out to Dragway 42 this Friday afternoon for an evening of fun.

Will bring Templeton ("the Good Stuff) but need glasses and ice cubes. And a solid chair :).

Should be there most of Saturday and the first part of Sunday :).

Cheers! TomK

Let me be perfectly clear....it happened when I was driving!!!!!!!!!
About 10 days ago, Pat Lobb asked if I would transport the Dave Campbell car to Dragway 42 for him. I said yes I would. Car was delivered to me on Tuesday and I left KC on Wed. morning.
This was to be a secret that the car and Pat would be here. In fact, Dave Colbert will be here too. As I was backing the car out of the trailer with only the front wheels left on the ramp, we all heard a noise and the engine stopped. Starter would not engage.
Upon inspection by competent mechanics, we found that the bottom of the timing chain cover was missing and the crank gear exposed. Something happened with the cam gear or timing chain!!!
I'm setting here waiting for Pat in about 2 hours to explain!!!!!
NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS......THIS IS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!! NO MATTER WHAT FUGATE SAYS!!!!!!!!!!
