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

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

my truck sitting on back of it and pushed the train into trailer
