We had a USAC Midget we took on trade ... just planned to resell it ... and ended up racing it. It had a fuel pump cable failure during Friday's practice at Stockton 99 Speedway. This car ran the "small/long" cable ... so our spare "big/medium length" cable wouldn't fit.

I called Alan late Friday. He made us a custom cable in 30 minutes & Alan got one of the Waterman employes to drive the cable from the Santa Rosa area to us Saturday morning.

Saved the weekend.

That looks like a sweet bit of gear, very race. So how does it drive from a power steering pump?

As long as your PS pump has the three hole pattern and a hex drive on the back of the shaft you just use an adapter plate.

I was going to run a KSE tandem pump which is a PS/Fuel combo with a phelonic heat barrier in between the two halve.

Researching that option I saw a lot of guys substituting the Waterman pump on the tandem set up.

Then I saw the divorced style cable pumps and got hooked on the idea.

Add to that the Waterman cable pumps were used by the top finishing NASCAR teams the last few years and I'm hopelessly hooked on the idea.

Warning!..... Off Topic because not much else is going on around here. (Dave told me to do it... said something about you pooping in his thread) lol

I been told that Matt and Rob both have a thing for the "HellaFlush" movement. Apparently they text back and forth pictures of cars with "HellaFlush" and discuss which ones they would choose.

Some more examples found at a car show in San Diego near Matt.

Also I have a new found appreciation for Rob.... as he likes to secretly work on Camaros.

I can't believe I went auto crossing today. Hella flush + Green Flash brewery = perfection. I completely forgot about the show so I decided to spend my day picking up cones for miata drivers.

That's gonna make you at least 1.5 sec slower... whatever he's doing.

Dave, I didn't end up having any time to drop by. Instead Rob and I had to live vicariously through Brett.
