I was planning to fly to AirVenture this year but work keeps getting in the way. Y'all should have a blast. Weather is predicted to be nice.
Got news... you either broke a valve spring first or lost/failed the lock. When the valve dropped into the cylinder, it broke the head off and bounced around in there until it got the piston and...
The door is wide open for this one... (Ben Stein's voice) Francis...Francis...Francis...
Finally got some time to spend with the other woman... It's amazing how many parts get lost the longer a project sits. I should never have taken this thing apart until I was ready to reinstall the...
Continuing the aviation theme... I flew a Savage yesterday and today for a total of 3.5 hrs, almost completing my tailwheel endorsement. The Savage looks like a small Super Cub and is a Light Sport...
I got to spend a beautiful day in Oshkosh, WI. I started the morning flying a Cessna 172 for an hour (logged as pilot in command). I then stepped back in time with a ride on a Ford Trimotor. After...
Found this road by accident while working out in Hanford, CA. Took the kids up to see the Sequoia's. Had two kids throwing up in the back seat of the BMW 325i convertible about 2 miles into it.

Actually both. Originally it was my storage area to consolidate my other 3(!) storage areas. But now I'm opening a brake and suspension shop and will also be doing custom fab and racecar suspension...
I was actually about to buy a new lift from Gemini Lifts in Dallas ($1600) but one of the places that I worked at in College Station just out of college (Pro Car) went out of business and I got these...
I've been busy setting up the shop. It's funny how big this was (65 x 150!) before I started putting everything inside. I am installing the first of three lifts this week and hope to be up and...
As it turns out, I may have run the last race (Race 3 for me) on 6 cylinders. Here's what I found today...
broken valve spring on number 4 intake valve. Notice how high the valve stem is. ...
Like Marshall, you can never start 'em too early. Welcome to the "I Never Needed Sleep Anyway" portion of your life. You'll be tired for about 5 months... It's a good tired though and well worth...
Pretty cool! Can't start 'em too early. I particularly like the Shelby wing and razor tires... must corner like it's on rails. I am disappointed though that the NASA stickers aren't color...
David,
Call me. I've begun the desperation search for an HPDE ride. My car still has not been picked up. I have a call in to Tony G (California) and should hear something about a possible...
I can alter my route to go through Tomball tonight to see what you have. PM me your contact info and diretions.
David, that sounds like a very nice offer. If the car is late getting here, I will definitely take you up on it. My ass is pretty narrow, though a bit wider than my CP auto-x days. I do have two...
I've been on the phone all day trying to get my car picked up. It seems that Hanford, CA is just too 'out of the way' for most carriers to make it a priority. I just upped the bid by $100 to see if...
I have a BIG rodeo belt buckle that you can borrow as well... latch and link style :wink:
