FALL group run 10/22-10/28 2023.

[Enemy]

I stopped running low ,low 7 second 1/4 mile dragster because it was just getting too expensive to go any faster. Big dummy I was. It would have been many times less expensive to have just bought a new dragster and went ape shit crazy with nitro. Nothing cheap about this sport. I just priced a new set of 35.5-17 STU Sand Master paddles . $1250 each and approx another $800 shipping. $3300+ for 2 damn tires!!!!!!!  IF you can find them.   So,ya,3500ish seems to be the new number.

I have been watching Steve Morris engines on ScrewTube, been learning some good info.. He just broke down what it cost just to put his engines power to the pavement... Holly $$ Not a cheap hobby to go fast. And have lots of spare parts lol!

I'm no where near his level but the 427 SB2.2 that is almost ready to go(soon as Jesel gets off their ass and build my Rocker arms) will top 40K in parts.   Let that sink in for a minute. No labor ,just parts. For a NA engine.HP never was cheap and never will be. Ya,I could have built an LS cheaper but not by much with the same quality of parts.

BTW, Morris seems like a stand up guy and stands behind his shit when the shit hits the fan if it's his fault. Not many do that.

was just checking dueces wild camp ground for sites for 10/24 thru 10/28. i see that there is only 1 site left for the fall dates. now the week after they look to have almost all sites available. there must be a large event the week of the fall dates.  i also checked cowboy for 10/31 thru 11/4 and 622 thru 635 are open.

 the only other option will be the new camp ground.  i am not sure what is going on that weekend but it has blanketed pretty much all the camp sites.

I'm at LS now . It doesn't appear that there has been anything done in the last month to America Oasis. They need to get moving.

Anyway, I like the 36-17 Sand Blasters. The difference is night and day over the 33-17 I was running. Much more traction and I'm sure those following me will be a bit more sandy. The car handles a lot better now also. I would never have thought I would see that  big of a difference .

On a side note coolant temps were 195-210 and the AC was great. So far the new alternator set up is working well also.

All good news other then the oasis camp. Hope they make deadlines. It is amazing how tire sizes changes performance. Working alts are a huge plus as well as correct cam timing

I roosted/buried my 9 year old grandson twice today.  My boy said the quad and the grandson disappeared for a bit. He took it really well . His initiation is done.  All on his own he picked up the remnants of probably 6 cvt rubber bands and toted them out.

Glad to hear you like them better than the 33's.

Glad you had a good St.A trip. I've been a few times. I look forward to the next one being far better than the others.

that is some thing to be proud of! sound like a good grandson! sounds like a fun day too.

everyone gets roosted, got to break them in early    the video is of mike leading, his son zack behind him, glenn following and the cam on my rail. i laughed so hard watching that in person

Just booked the oct 24 thru oct 28 dates at the new plum crazy camp by America's oasis.  My children will be joining us again. Allen and his group will be next to us and I believe Adam, Brian strange and a few others. Will be interesting to see how it all works out. More then likely my rail won't be done due to my circumstances with my rt eye.

[fabr]

 I'll make my reservations as well.

At this point in time, to the best of my knowledge, Mike, deep Busch, enemy are staying at cowboy camp. Myself and group, Allan and group, brian s, and Adam all have sites at plum crazy camp so we can stay till sat morning. I tried to reach brian n over the weekend but he was busy.. not sure which location your staying at brian n. Anna at the main number for America's oasis knows my name. If you choose to stay at plum crazy then call her and tell her you want a spot with us using my name. Deepbusch, you and Mike change your minds then do the same. As we all know, Friday and sats were all booked at cowboy. I don't want to loose a whole weeks vacation for that.
