And the saga continues.  Truck would not run well Friday morning blowing blue smoke and idling rough. Went to get fuel and as it warmed up it acted ok but took it to a shop anyway.  They are removing the injectors and sending them out to check. Had to over night them back to Wichita for the check. Some place in Utah could not get to them until Thursday. Only a few places in the US that check electronic 6.7 Cummins injectors. So we are stuck here at the dunes at least until next Wednesday. Hopping that it will be and injector but it could be a burned piston again.  Only good thing is the new car is running great. Sorry guys looking like we will not make LS.  My slot at the end is paid for if anyone wants it.   Ran with the big v8 cars yesterday on a very fast run. They could not run away from the subi cars. One of them with a gps speedo said he seen 80 MPH going across one of the dunes.  The new HRT runs the best in fourth gear.  Very little third and never any second. We ran all day yesterday and I only put in six gallons of fuel. Running in fourth sure helps on gas mileage.  Going to set the toe in on it this morning I think it is a bit much at one point five inches.  The car has a tendency to wallow. Shocks are a little light for my big ass so will need to revalve them when I get time. The new owner of the Mantis is loving it.  After the fast run he had a grin a mile wide.  The Mantis is running like a mofo it will pull away from the HRT if I don't keep on the throttle.  I taught the Canadian right, he can really drive it good. He missed second twice yesterday but recovered quick enough to keep up.

Dammit FAST! I may not make LS either. Your shitty luck seems to be spreading. Went to load buggy and guess what-buggy refuses to fire.

Got a text/pic Sandracer may be down a car, possible tranny?  But sand was nice.

Got the trailer home and half loaded (myself). Now to start actually loading up. HOPING new radiator will be here today but not looking good, so hopefully the weather temps will be a bit cooler this run and I will be ok. New 20t sprocket up front and finally using the hub on the Jeffco with a 35t rear. Gained a few links in the chain and got my gearing where I like it for the dunes. Have to plumb the breather tank for the rev box, tidy up a couple little things and hope to roll out Wed morn. Looking to be there mid afternoon..
Safe travels all!

Your right Deano.

After what I have invested in the truck this should not be happening.  But it is and that's life.  Truck is back and runs just fine without the trailer.  Tomorrow morning will tell whats up.  New car is loaded in the trailer. and we are ready to rock and roll in the early AM.  Not to bad a deal getting the new car in.  It took a couple of shots but was able to winch it up and into the trailer backwards.  I will know soon as I hit the freeway if the truck will pull without the HI egt's. Heres hopping.  Really have missed you guys this year.  Next spring well due double icecream.
