yeah and they all end in "S"

Here is a video from my "glory days"...first race with that combination. I have no idea how I didn't red light, when I tried to load the converter the brakes wouldn't hold it and it crept ahead a few inches. Oh well, make short work of the other guy.

Nice!! yeah she had the creeps there... good launch tho, you had him out of the gate

how many horse you figure?

Hell Rob, that was before Ivan & all those other added housebroke kinda things came along

You got it Fred.

What year Monte Carlo?

wellat first it was going in the '70

now it seems its going in the 88 and the built 350 from it is going in the early body...

somewhere it almost got in the 68 conv camaro.....

funny how all the bow ties show up for the big dance

Here is the first unscheduled repair of the day. On my way to the basement I flicked on the stairwell lights and was greeted with flickering lights and a buzzing sound from the switch. The switch broke and apparently the contacts inside started arcing. The switch was from the pre-Romex era, so I'm guessing it was 50-60 years old.

Damn, you got a really big hand.

Was planning on eating it for supper tonight. It was in my cooler tucked away in my luggage box during the ATV excursion -- apparently an ice pack & constant bouncing are a bad combo ....

Smitty, It's like Deja' Vu all over again. I have participated in many of those "short rides!" Whenever I go off road anymore, I always carry the GPS loaded with trail maps, street maps, topo maps, whatever I can find. Not that I'm worried about being lost, but that if we need help, I know where the f... we are and how to get the hell out of there.

I use a Garmin GPSMap 60CSx with Red Pine Mapping software. You can also get GPS mapping on smartphones.

I have also experienced the stuff in the back getting detsroyed syndrome.

Here is a pic of my sled on the way to the summit of Coburn Mountain in Maine 3 years ago. Right before we left PA I had the oil injector cable replaced so I wanted to make sure that I didn't have issues with it not working so I carried a full quart of 2 cycle oil in the back as a spare.........

HA! Too funny! I used to do that too, but I'd place the extra qt in a ziplock bag. I had a 600 XCR back in the days.... Got it to 105mph indicated, before it felt like it wanted to get airborn.

Thats the new style. Our house still has many push-button switches from the '20s. Most still work. There are also some 90 yr old original twist-style switches working just fine. One of these days I'll bring them up to code.

Chris,

IT WAS IN A ZIPLOC !!!!! I think the tools beat the crap out of the bottle on the way up.

That year the trail was a little rough. The groomer hadn't been to the top yet. Me and my brother were the only ones to summit. The others turned around. Panty waists !!!!!
