Another great Winternationals ? ? ?

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

It is gonna be GREAT ! Just to get out there......gremlins, schedule delays, parts problems, blown motor last night. Im buying a couch at Salvation Army fir $20 (I thought 10 but it IS california) when I get there , gonna plop it down next to the trailer and yall wake me when its over and let me know how our car did ok ?

At least we outran the snow coming back down here....

Cheers all, off to tear the motor apart and see what "really" happened....as opposed to the 2 other things I THOUGHT happened only to get the heads off and be suprised (nicley) our valve train is good over 8k...nice to know.....

Apprently the bottom end is only good to 6250.....

Wonder what kind of times it will run with the limiter set at 6000

Billy -- he's not doing much better as he got very close to my location and proceeded to get his rig stuck for three hours and then signed up for a $700 tow out -- ouch ! !

From the pictures below you'll see we're going to be here for another day or two and Debbie is not -- I repeat not a happy camper as its cold , windy ( huge gusts ) and supplies are running low as we thought this would be a day trip and even the Wal-Mart is closed today .

Good news - not much except there is a Marriot Suites about 100 yards from us and there is no way I'm not signing up for a deluxe deal tonight ( if I ever want to go again ) .Because the whole area is under snow diaster and we already have 22" I'm not sure how long we'll be here -- talk about cabin fever --- thank God for the Internet .One last piece of good news - they're plowing the lot next door -- its the Crispy Creme joint and they look like maybe they'll open soon ....................

Opps - Sorry about the pics -- too much snow -- I'll get fresh ones ! !
