Its like an ex that keeps coming around, taking your money and breaking your heart....but you never learn. It hasn't been touched in a year now still filled with oil and water. The trailer is sitting on blocks.

Will I ever forgive her? Will she ever forgive me?

Broke a rod bolt 3 minutes off the trailer on a fresh build. I pulled the motor and put her in timeout. Funds just havent been there to do anything with her since.

Clean it, cover it and wait.  You'll either find a way yourself, or you'll find someone with an engine looking to get involved in compjet racing.  Either way, it's not costing you anything to let it sit for a while.

I will be there... Love to help out anyway I can. Be honored.  :thumbup:

Hell, the last time I helped someone out at Long Beach we won due to some really screwy circumstances...  :screwy:

Of course when I helped Brad at Burley, we blew shit up... Could go either way...  :o

Maybe you missed its filled with 14+ quarts of oil....and was 40+ gallons of rain water. I pulled the cover a month or so ago and a ton of the water has evaporated... Gunna drain it into a 55 gallon drum here soon. Yeah, my fault for neglect, but I was in a bad spot when this thing let go last summer. It was my last concern at the time.

I have a motor I can piece together that I can put in it, but nothing competitive....so what's the point?

Flat black boat with a 7 gallon gas tank is no river cruiser lol

If you don't have the funds, it wont be fun...

I like to tinker. Maybe, when time permits, just tinker. Get her all cleaned up, go through it with a fine tooth comb and try to fix what I call little bugs.

The best part about tinkering is that it's free. I have been known to completely remove the wire harness and label and heat shrink each and every wire, take a sanding block and repair every single little paint run and aluminum scratch, you know, bullshit.

All it did for me was kept the dream somewhat alive. I was the single most brokest racer on the planet, we never even had a camera. All we ever used were those disposable deals that we stole from a wedding reception.

The boat has a mind of it's own, but no memory.

You and me next year at the Idaho Regatta bud.  :thumbup:
