That sucks  :banghead: I got to do the same thing to the hondo trailer and I'm not looking forward to it. Are you going to weld some new stuff in there?

The trailer is back together. Mods are in my project thread.
Put the boat back on the trailer last night.
Also finished cutting and beveling the opening for the fin. Thinking of having R&D set the fin.

Love to come and at least try and help out. Not sure what I could do, but flying my parents in that weekend (What a guilt trip THAT should leave me with), and the Ex-Wife flying in the weekend before. (Could be an even BIGGER guilt trip, based on what she co-earsed me into LAST time she came out there  ::) ).

Anyway, good luck! Last time I saw the Crazy 8's she was running fine after the 1050 install, and sounds like most aren't going. The 1150 should wake that byatch up even more!

This year though, I want to make more than a few races and see what this is all about!

Brad-

I'm not out yet, and I believe Marc is down to roll too. Get that damn boat together so when we do show up @ Parker, it's ready to kick ass and take names!

I might have to work fri, sat, and possibly sun, after thanksgiving.
Seeing as how they have pretty much gone from 20 installers to 4 and me being one of them, I have zero room for negotiations  :thumbdown:

Looks great Ron, are you going to leave the side open or back the number up with something? Maybe colored plexiglass would look bitchen

Kick ass idea Lance, hey Ron, I have 2 pieces of Orange plexi, about 16X24 if you want them.

Title: Re: APBA/SCSC Parker, AZ Thanksgiving Race 2009
Post by: 76 Bonneville on November 22, 2009, 01:44:22 PM

I was concerned with the plexi cracking and sucking pieces down the carb.
For now were going to back it up with another piece of alum. w/ a 1/4" stand off. Scoop may be black to go with the new motor.
