    I can't make PR - gotta be in Vegas that weekend.
    I'm hoping to make Bremerton. It would even be better if it were in a running Buick. I think I'm getting closer, but with each step I see more things that need to be done.

    Where would I find details of the Bremerton Event. Chris Skaling said I would be missing out if I didn't get to this event. What is the sanctioning body NHRA or IHRA. Running 11.70s on and IHRA track: no roll bar. Any info would be appreciated. Tom Hearsey.

    www.bremertonraceway.com has their schedule and info.

    They're an NHRA track, you'll need to slow down or bar it at 11.7's.

    I believe rollbars are mandatory, along with a fire suit to run in the 11's @ Bremerton.

    Roll bar or cage, and just a fire jacket, also belts have to be dated, driveline loop, etc.

    Two bent valves and one broken inner spring on the heads. When the crank broke, the piston hit the head. The block is going to be decked .010 and should all be ready to put back together in a week.

    With a new converter, tranny and engine, it should kick some but again! Good thing for sponsors!

    You've got sponsors!?
    I just contacted Ellis (from Team NW) about doing up the TH350 for me.
    You make me feel lazy considering I probably could have had this motor together months ago!

    I guess I have been out of the loop. What happened to your engine? Busted crank?!?!?!? :eek2:

    Jerry,

    Do a search for the word "carnage" You'll find your answer.

    I looked up Rick's posts and found it. What a bummer. Sounds like he's on top of it though.

    I wish I had his work schedule...:grin:

    Of course, while the motor is at the machine shop, he went to Disneyland...:Dou:
