Headlamp switch....want to say brown wire...but get a test light to check and just quick tap the wire. That is where i always get power from.

The gate* opens at 7:00am and the Dyno starts at 8:00am

*Gate fee is $10 adults and $5 for kids 12 and under

Show n Shine is mid afternoon and

the Sled Pull tech starts at 5:00pm and the competition starts at 7:00pm

Charity Sled Pull - is after the competition pulls.

Be sure to check the "gargage" section at www.outlawdra.com for the latest details.

gauges went in today and i am very pleased. except for the fact that i can peg the 1500 degree pyro very fast. . . . . . this has me a bit worried. and it looks like the edge reads two psi lower on boost than the mech. and the edge reads boost slower, i tried to hook up the edge pyro and mechanical pyro to the same thermocouple but they fought each other and the edge would not work. ( i would post pics but i am pretty sure you have all seen gauges before ) hahaha.

i have to drive to Amarillo tomo to pick up a A pillar bolt, i think its a 1/4 28 x about 2 1/2 to 3 inches.

hopefully lowes/depot has them.

Very small amount.... .020 over marine gasket. Don't know how much was taken off new head to level it so not sure it is lower? But acts like it on cold morning... Idles rough till warm (2-3 min).

Not even sure that's the cause of the rough idle. Starting to show up more ofen...even warm. May be injector pump.

Could not remember the exact name..... had to look it up.
Figured you could get extra info on the event if you did the same. Was actually trying to be helpful.... not scarcastic!

I'll take a couple of orders of that as well...

Ponds are all down. It's only the dozer operators that are liking this weather.

Mine will do that when cold. Mine idles fine but the you free rev it is not happy until warm. Got a .020 marine gasket, .010 surfaced head, and .030 off the pistons. So I should have .050 extra room in there.
