Roy,
Sorry it's been so long, life here has been going a mile a minute. Work is AWESOME ..... still have yet to have any stress.....nothing like the Army. Both cars are running GREAT, finally fixed the axle bearings on the T/A. Had to cut both axles 1/4in but it's done now and what a DIFFERENCE!! Been to Summint Racing a few times since I've been home only 35miles from the house. Put a new exhaust on the T/A..Edelbrock RPM catback, gave up some power but it is quiter now. I don't think the neighbors liked the old one that well at 0530 throughout the week. Speed limits are killing me, still drive at 5 over or with traffic which ever is faster. The rage here is the late 80s mustang GTs, got 5 of them so far.... owners where alittle surprised with the T/A. Funy part is I'm not looking for them they seem to find me. The 73 Firebird is running pretty good, think one or a couple of lifters need to be replaced.... tapping, doesn't help that it sat for 5 years without being started. What a difference driving those cars, the 73 is OLD school to the max......NO handling what so ever but straight line, that big 462ci power comes on like a freight train!
Family is doing good, wife has a great job and is loving her Truck. Nikolas has a new 4 wheeler and is setting speed records in the neighborhood with it.
Will start racing wiht SCCA at the end of this month, that will be different but I'm looking forward to it. Looks like I'll be SM2 class, but they might even move me up into a higher class due to the trianglated subframe connectors. Doesn't matter either way I'll still be racing.
Meant to ask you, I was in a junkyard a couple of weeks ago and found 4 9in center sections (2 trucks, 2 car) comeplete $69.00 are you interested?? If so let me know and we'll work something out.
How's everybody there, gearing up for racing? How's the SS doing?

Val

Val
Glad to hear that everything is okay and working out great. Well since you been gone, the Army and its infinite wisdom decided to promote me February 1. Imagine that oh well I guess I will roll with it and see where it will take me.
You know me I can never have enough 9inch dropouts. I'll take one if you don't mind too much. Pm me the details and I'll get the cash flowing your way.
