if you werent there you missed an awesome trip and great food once again!
Had 4 or 5 campers / trailers and a pretty good group of about 20+ in our pit!
rough weekend for the 4 trucks. i think the most we have ever wrenched Saturday night on them for a second race day Sunday.
my truck: shit fuel system both races saturday, pulled off. cleaned and changed remaining fuel lines on pickup- mush found in pickup and AN bulkhead- fixed for sunday ran good rear brake hard line failure, pinched off. sunday ran hard but last in the muck first race. second race got hit hard and broke wheel/hub/drum off passenger side rear
Wills truck- he spun and endo'd / rolled saturday 2nd race. cut rad hose broke power steering pulley from impact leaking t stat housing other all fixed and he won the money sunday
Jeffs aussie truck piloted by Jeremy rolled sat Hard beam bending damage. lots of chain and binders used to bend beam back so would allow steering mechanical clutch rod issue- required fab and welding couple new body smacks lost a few beads, did well for first time driver
Jeff in MikeMikes truck power steering was in op at start sat jeff won money saturday sunday, another belt, a vacated pS pulley replaced clutch locked, found C clip poped out and fixed punctured clutch line from res to master, changed PS line leaking, shortened, still failed 1 or 2 belts failed sunday race died upon landing- found a blown fuel pump fues in pits after other my truck sitting on back of it and pushed the train into trailer
sat weather and racing was awesome. super disappointed i didnt have a running truck. Sunday was rain all day, but still fun.
