Woodro Is Retiring!

HEADCHOPPER · 08-05-2011, 03:26 PM

It was the mid to late eighties, I was just a young dragracer 23-27 yrs old wanting to compete. I had just put a new motor in my dually and finished it up just in time to tow 600 miles to Warner Robbins Georgia to run superstreet in a 69 camaro. Well i made it but just before the track my truck started running terrible. I limped in and got a pit space and the first thing i did was take the valve covers off to find a loose rockerarm and bent pushrods. Not really knowing anyone i went around asking if anyone had some stock valvetrain parts for a 350ci engine. It wasn't long that someone said, "Go find Woodro he has everything!! So thats what i did and let me remind you he didn't know me from Adam. I told him what i needed and he was more than happy to help this kid get back running again. I broke down again on the way home however Woodro had givin me some extra pushrods so i was able to limp home. Come to find out my old stock pressed in studs were pulling up causing slack in the valvetrain. He is a fantasic dragracer and a great man. Goodluck my friend.
