Since when did Tom have to be tricked into drinking beer? You would have a way bigger issue trying to pry a beer out of his kung fu grip!!

.............and I need a sbf steel flywheel so I can index my bellhousing. Do you possibly have one I can borrow?

True. That's probably one of the few things that Tom would punch ya for...taking his beer.

I don't have a flywheel here, but I can check at my folks house. I'm 98% positive I don't have one but I will check. Any chance you know the main journal sizes of that block you sold Tom?

The only problem is, if I balled up someone elses car, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I keep getting assured that "shit happens" and it's a risk of racing, but it would suck ass bigtime!!

yeah but you get over it, i drove alot of peoples shit and hope that they know im not gonna fuck their shit up intentionally. if something breaks and puts you in the wall it was gonna happen to them also. now if your steering it and stay in the gas too long and put it in the wall just keep walking off the end of the track, lol

Its a 302 (2.248") main. If for some reason you happen to find a flywheel please let me know.

Hopefully it would never be driver error. That's the thing about the grudge racing though, if there's a bunch of money on the line, it's kinda hard to give up a pass if you get out of shape. And getting your pride stepped on is almost worse than the money your going to lose.

I'm pretty sure I never said that. In fact I think I said I would be out for one more year but 2010 it's on like fucking donkey kong!! As soon as I get these two turds out of my garage my car will be coming home so I can get my thrash on.

alot of times it looks alot worse outside the car then it actually is inside. a few times people have asked why i didnt lift but it wasnt bad. you can tell when it gets outta shape like when i raced raj, i had to lift. didnt want too, but when i have the wheel all the way corrected and its still going towards the line your fucked at that point and have to bail

Jig_Chucker · 01-12-2009, 09:27 AM
