I know a lot of guys didn't know----it snuck up on me and by the time it was full blown we weren't sure what was going to happen, so I stayed quiet for the most part---glad it looks like the worst is behind me. Everyday is a gift now--for me---that's part of the good that has come from it. Sorry to hear about your stint in the hospital---who woulda thought being in our forties would bring health challenges---I still feel like i'm 20----and am spending money like it also.

Thanks Man! The trip up for the June GG will be on the board for sure. I will try to get the West Coast Rat Pack to caravan up the 101 with me for sure. It's been my favorite trip ever since I made the first one with Matt, Chad, Stig, Chris Robinson, Carl, John----want to do it every year I can.

Great to see ya back on here. Looks like you have some cool new parts ready to go also.

Corey--thanks bro. Have a lot more parts, but just not enough yet to put in the DSE sub and LS3. Still need the Auto Rad setup and the new Vaporwerks tank. Piece by Piece is still my op plan for this car. The Drag Radial car is running now---I just finished up the interior and am waiting on the hood to get painted--then the rear tail panel where we modded it for the wheelie bars. Should be testing it in the next couple of months. I will get some pics of it up--maybe today.

Rick--you are exactly right bro--it's always been about the dudes here. Have made some great friends and brothers here for sure. No more "One Legged Jihad" for me --- I will miss it--especially Chad announcing it every time I come to the line to make an autocross pass at the GG show.

Thanks Jer Dog. Time to get VEGAS to the track and see what 1280 RWHP will do on the Drag Radial (315's). Shooting for 7's---but have a ways to go to figure out a brand new car.

Welcome back Dougie. Missed you around here! More importantly, fantastic health news

Brother Ron--thanks man! Is your car running? I will dive into your thread and check it out later today. SEMA this year?

Thanks Curtis---it is great to be back working on the cars---it's like therapy for me--it's amazing how much I missed it now that I am able to put some energy into them. I love working on them as much as driving them.

Thanks much Brother.

And getting picked to be a moderator is proof my congressman is still lookin' out for his constituency.

Seriously, I'm thrilled for you and your family that you are well.

Welcome back D Fresh

I had noticed the lack of your presence and whitty banter on the boards. Just thought the car took a back seat to other family obligations as it does so many of us.

Glad to hear everything worked out. Hope it wasn't the big C. My wife works for oncology surgeons and I hear some the worst stories. You're right, every day is a gift and we all need to remember that. You never know what tomorrow hold.

You have a lot of project updates to catch up on. That 12 pack of "secret gap spray" you recommended worked out great for me. As with Ron, got mine fired a couple weeks ago.

Congrats on getting it fired up bro! I have a lot of catching up to do on the project threads, yours being one of them. LOL on the gap spray---that one sure stuck didn't it? One of my other personal favorites was the "Tall Dark and Handome" spray that GW tried--but it wears off quickly.

Still rockin 138 RWHP through the new locker bro---it's gonna be nuts. Car will hook in the rain. I've had offers from "Street Outlaws" to go head up with Murder Nova--but they want 10 and the go.

Have a Donavan Aluminum Big Block for the race car---going to build a 540 and use my F3 Procharger. Shooting for 2100 HP. Wanted to cover both you and Rob combined in my build. Details coming in the future.

That's in the PA class we are running NA. You better get your PT dyno rule book out and check the class rules again.

It was good hanging out the other day, without DG

LOL. Ya, I guess forcing two atmosphere's is a distinct edge isn't it. Good hanging with you also---thanks for the help loading up the old parts. I'm just remembering I need to pull those out of the truck and get them up for sale here.
