If there is room, and it's 90* at midnight...I'll join in. I prefer sleeping under the stars but too hot is what it is.

Brian... change in shifter should make a big difference, based on how fast Matt can shift his NV5600. He did an all time best... 13.67/100 mph.
Dustin was a first timer and is hooked, I think.

Big crowd and good time!

I'll probably just crash in the truck. I should have a pump to install friday.

Looks like it's AC compressor time. Turned it on this morning and it made a rattling sound for a second and shook the truck when it engaged. That can't be good. HAHA. Oh well. It's only got 140k on it.

Doesn't look like I am going to pull this round. My temporary part time job is questionable and that is where the play money comes from. Maybe I can get the DD in time for the Boyd pull.

Has anyone replaced their starter contacts? Looks like that is my next project. The truck has decided to be selective about when it starts and when it doesn't. Was thinking at first that it was a clutch switch, but it's the starter. Install doesn't look bad, just have to pull the starter and swap the contacts and solenoid.

IIRC, I've read of people doing it without pulling the starter.

I would think it would be possible, but I'll need to see how well I can fit my hands/arms into the area where the starter is.

Who is going to Be in Alvarado Friday?
So far I know Robert, Tyler, Justin and myself.
Charlie?

Dyno in Burleson is set for Sat, 11 AM! We have four. Need to know if others are interested. Don't just show up and plan on getting on because Hot Street is only open for 1/2 day Sat. We can move schedule earlier if needed.... just need to know.
