Tri-State Raceway July 13 & 14
- Thread starter Iowa 409 Guy
- Start date
Wow, really impressive but that's not how we do it in the country. We haven't started playing cowboys and the hood yet.
I could catch these guys with a half a bucket full of water on the back porch!
LOL. My neighbors only fight at night. They are practically invisible until unless they smile.
Since Dave is offering his Rolex Coots watch to the quickest reaction time.....I'm here to offer a very prized PRIZE to the racer that had the SLOWEST reaction time. Me feels that person needs to be celebrated also!!!!!
So for the slowest reaction time winner......wins this NOS, never used goes this highly desirable TRICKY DICK costume!!! Guaranteed to be the only one in your neighboorhood!!!!! It uses 4 AA batteries that I am including!!!!
And for the winners and runner ups in the 2 brackets....I'm sure Dave has something special for each winner, so I'm bringing a consolation prize for the runner ups...your very own, personal, never used Man Hole cover!!!!!!!!!
PS: I am reserving the right to award Tricky Dick to either Fat Head or Ishiftem if they display behavior I believe they deserve!!!!!!!

I really don’t want to know how you acquired that costume.
Everything you could possibly want to know. Even how many were shot in the junkWondering how many of them made it through the weekend.....................

Candy and I took our minister and his wife to lunch today after church services. Went to a small area restaurant. The pastor was about 5 minutes behind us and when we walked in...noticed the restaurant had a small room marked Garage Sale. I saw it and knew someone in Iowa would want it!!!!! Got it put in a plastic sack before the pastor walked in!!!!

You all have a great time. I have to cancel, looks like another bad day at Woodburn (last year I blew up the engine). While I was there at the Oldies weekend the car was having problems staying running so we advanced the timing to get the car to run. Too much I believe. Made a few runs & car didn't run very good so I brought it home, we thought it was the electronic box. Replaced that stuff & started it but still sounded bad. Did a few checks & the compression in every cylinder is very low with 0 in a few. Not sure what the damage is but looks as if this season is over for me. Hopefully it will not be too bad & a fairly easy fix. If it is too extensive I don't believe I will be repairing it. I'm bummed out I really wanted t come to Earlville. It is a great track & always fun. You all have a great time & let me know the results. Take care.

We will have a generator running too but it's not loud. Either way my 2 boys, wife and parents are going to want the A.C. on so put us where ever you like.

Reed says racing starts at 10 on Saturday, 9 on Sunday.

Sorry about your bad luck. We'll miss you. Hope it's not too bad.

Thanks for asking, but we're good. Joe the Plumber will have it covered. I'll post more info later today or tomorrow.

My guess is you could limp the car down the track and beat me. With 0 compression though, kind of sounds like a cam may have given up. Keep us posted. I'd grab a scope camera and take a peak at your cam/lifters/ valves and see what comes up. Good luck!

We got the engine out today, intake & heads off. When we drained the oil we found what looks like the timing gear pin stuck to the magnetic drain plug. Also there is an indentation from the exhaust valves on every piston, with # 5 being the worst. That was the cylinder that had 0 compression. Haven't removed the oil pan or timing gear cover yet. That will happen tomorrow & we will check everything in the bottom end. So with a little luck I might be able to get away with replacing the pistons & exhaust valves. Hoping for the best so I can make the West Coast Reunion in late August. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
