Castle Rock is a good mid point to fill up. _________________

Same pit-stop as last year should be good unless the T/A decides to crap out early! _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

There seems to be some of that going around.. bird flu?? |
Dyno Curse. Its real. |
I think the curse has more to do with cars that are rarely driven making the long trip to Portland than anything else. |

Derek, You can borrow my HEI if it means you dynoing something. I'll PM you my number. Dunno if you have to work today or what, but I'll PM you my number. If you are working today, we can spend some time wrenching @ tony's (as he's just a stone's throw away from you). Or since I'm gonna come hang out there, I can stop by your place and we can see what we can figure out.
I do have a couple of 4150 holley carbs, but as they don't have a vacuum secondary, and you have a TH400, don't think that can help much in that department. |

It may have already been mentions and I'm probably not seeing it, but what time are we supposed to be arriving at the Dyno on Saturday? I know every year there's a few people who just meet there rather than before hand. _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S

Yes, have fun everyone. I can't go this year, the boss saddled me with work this weekend.
I'm starting to go back to Eureka, CA again after a 6 month hiatus. I didn't want to turn it down and demonstrate to him that I don't want it.
This Wednesday would have worked better for me lol.
Anyway have fun. I will make Cows, and if I find a new steering wheel, we might have to see how high an airbag will blow _________________ Killing mailboxes since 2009 |

You all are hoping for good weather, I'm here praying for rain so I can get off early. Otherwise I'll be meeting you guys around 10pm. By then I suppose you all will be at Dewey's place?

Thanks Dew for opening your place up and giving us beer. Skyler, thanks for planning the cruise. I don't know if I've ever seen more people get separated before. Oh and I hate red lights. But I had mucho fun! _________________

It was a fun day. I was satisfied with the numbers I made - more tuning needed, but good numbers.

Big ups to everyone involved! Skyler planned an awesome cruise, it was nice to cruise this side of the river for a change. Not that i have anything against the vista run, the gorge is beautiful! |
