      open up a word document, type in all your info you will need on registration day. minimize it to 1/2 your computer screen. when registration opens up, minimize it to 1/2 screen.

      high light, right click, copy. paste.. etc.....

      that way you can focus on your truck speed rather than your typing speed!!

            I was scratching my head trying to figure out why my engine was breaking up at 6000. *Might* have had something to do with the intake valves hitting the pistons..... Just maybe. Haha.

              I damaged my motor on the last day of drag week .. To make a long story short the 393w I bought when I dropped a valve on 408 .. When the 393 was all taken apart and measured for that the Pistons were to loose ( think that's were my car smoking was coming from ). Rods to tight (hence spun bearing ) So now what .. Ordered a 4.125 bore dart block will stick my 408 top end on my new 427w. Will be KD and water for another year or so but that's racing

                Two months ago today was Topeka to Noble. Seems like I remember some walking and wind at HPT. Also, seems like the drive to Noble was kinda warm!

                  Half way from noble to great bend I was on the side of the road with a rod hanging out of the oil pan. Now I'm 1-1 on dragweek finishes. Maybe I can make it 2-1 next year.
