Robert- Bracket Racing again??


I am debating hard whether I should try to make this. I am so backed up with stuff to do here at the house. And I will have my son...and need to find some time to spend alone with just him. I need about 104 weekends every year!!

If I do come I will prob lighten up the truck of tools, spare etc. as best I can....and swap out my 35's for my spare set of (chrome) wheels and 265's. Honestly I am really worrying about my stock turbo, head gasket, egts, and the drive pressures. The trans is no longer a concern!!! It will hook and go, I know.

If I come........and I prob will.....I guess I will try an ET bracket. Brian and RJ won't yall? How big will this event be? Surely not as big as HRP, right?

Cost a bit extra but worth it.....No? If you buy the Adrenaline...I'll let you play my tune.

I think just calling it the Psycho Ro is catchier. Or maybe the Psycho Ro Jo.

I thought it was just going to be the $40 to race and you had to pay the $50 if you wanted to compete?? If its $90 to run down the track you can count me out! I'll wait for the next Ardmore trip...

I vote the wickedest tune should be monikered the "Rowland's Radical Ripper"... after all, aren't all kids s'posed to have the 3 R's hammered into 'em?




As for Ennis, I just can't stomach giving Eric McBride any more $ so soon after HRP's train wreck.

Well got the truck inspected at my normal place up here... Guy spent about 5 mins rollin under the truck and asked "Do you have a muffler on this thing?" I said yep twin turbos federal law considers turbine devices as replacements for mufflers. "Oh ok cool" $14.50 later and I got a pretty sticker!


Got my new push-lok hose and fitting installed on the truck today... haven't lost a single psi in over 6hrs now... Good enough for me!

Still need to switch tires... now looking forward to that!

Im surprized they even asked about the mufflers. Not required as far as I know. Geesh they should know this.


Can you take the truck to "Discount Tire" and ask for a free rotation? (but you want to rotate "your other set")

So you are definately going to race in Ennis now??

That's so funny that's how I got the BFGs back on my truck last time!! Ya uh I need my lifetime balance done on the tires in the back of the truck... Go ahead and swap em out while your at it! Easier tire swap I have ever done!

I want to do the $40 race, but I want to make more than one run... Not gonig to mess with it if I have to sit in line for an hour for 1 run!
