Thanks!
As Justin pointed out..... Now that I have them, I won't ever get stuck!!

Switched back to Mach 6's and can't wait for Dyno, this Saturday at SpeedTek, in Haltom City.
Missed 600 hp by 2 last time, with a badly cracked head. Soooo, maybe this time??
This DynoJet is known to be a bit stingy so we'll have to wait and see.
Anyone else showing up? Tyler (Big Blue) is coming up for it (thinks he finally has 500 hp ) ......
and suppose to be a couple of guys shooting for 1000 HP! Buck will have his red monster there too..... remember last time??

'TexasCTD' - Don't loose hope. The Plaque does show up....eventually!
(Larry is probably holding it till you shrink you signature as requested.)

Lary can keep the plaque! I get to much pleasure annoying you with my lengthy signature...

I may go down and order my VERY own plaque. Well maybe one for Rick too!


Seriously, best of luck with the 600+hp at Speedtek. I won't be making that one. If anybody wants to come have some REAL fun....ATVing/RVing in Arkansas...trains leaving on Thurs. evening.

I will probably be there then, one of my guys just installed a new automatic and his mechanic said for him to not run it hard so I have his Smarty Jr for a few weeks.

I might make it out there after all. I was supposed to head to Giddings to build some fence this weekend, but they're predicting about 2-3 inches of rain for Thursday and Friday which would put a damper on us building fence. If that's the case, then I'll probably make it out there.

If thats not the truth I do not know what is.. This site is a bit friendlier, with information easier to come by and alot less sarcasm.

OK, looks like I spoke too soon. All forecasts have changed and they're not getting much of anything. Assuming they don't get a flood overnight or tomorrow morning, I'm heading out tomorrow afternoon to go work. At least it will be cool weather for building.

This weather has been great as far as im concerned. We are getting a good soaking again.....but it's supposed to clear out and cool off tomorrow...Thurs. For me that is great because the weekend will be perfect ATV riding, Camping weather....after it clears out.

Yall have fun at the dyno day! Catch you on the next go round.


Also...my schedule is about to change. Looks like im going to 10A-6P effective January....with FS off....with a possible switch to SS off, depending on what another guy does. It will be much more of a "normal" schedule for me and get off of these evening shifts.
