RJ,
Its called Replay XD, just put that in a search engine. Its about the size of a roll of dimes and weighs only a couple of ounces. Very easy to use, you can put it anywhere. Joe, I guess you are already here, but there is plenty of room to park. |

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
Its has been a long day, I had to work on the car unexpectedly, but we should be okay.
Here are few pictures in tech. Bubba Linke, the Stock Eliminator winner from Valdosta standing next to his red C/SA Camaro. James Perrone walking around, who knows were his going, he looks lost. Bo Kenny with his back turned and Jim Roberts behind Bo are waiting there turn. Gary Richard's CJ stocker is absolutely beautiful. His super stock CJ is also just as trick. I will try to get some more pictures of both cars. Still don't know what he is racing this week. His pit area looks like he has way more cars then drivers. GM, Ford, you name it ,Gary's got it. I will try to get more pictures tomorrow. I have some work to do on the race car and I'm hoping it will not be an all day affair. I will do my best to get lots of photos. The weather is great and except for a chance of rain on Thursday, it should be a great week. |

Re: "Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
I'm back, sorry everyone, it has been a hectic day. The unexpected work I had to do was a tech issue. I thought It was best to not say anything, but after thinking about it for a while, I think I should let everyone now what happened.
I went through and everything was fine until they checked the center section. They told me I could not run an aluminum center section. I told them the rule says you can replace your original rear as long as it is from the same manufacture. Ford sells complete rears with aluminum center sections. The come in 2008 and 2010 CJ's. I thought I was okay since its a Ford rear. Well it turns out I am not okay and it is only acceptable in the CJ's because they are purpose built for stock. I went by the rule, I thought I was okay. I was not aware you could not run an aluminum center section. I ask would it be okay to race this weekend and change it for the next race. That was not an option so I had to over night a steel center section. So the reason I decided to post what happen was to give a heads up to anyone that is using an aluminum center section in stock, its not legal. I have been working on the car all day. Thanks to Gary Richard's crew, Paul and Eddie for the right tools and the use of their trailer in getting everything changed over so I could run this race. Back to racing, here is a picture of tomorrows schedule. Rain is forecast, so I am not sure will we be racing. I promise after I clean up the trailer to go around the pits and get some pictures. Thanks for being patient everyone. |
