Project Pure Stock Debut

[X-TECH MAN]

Come on Dan.....DRIVE that thing. Its only about 16 hours. Im an hour east of Bradenton and its only 15 1/2 hours from LaPlata/Waldorf Md. The train ride will cost as much as another race car would cost and ya cant get close to a drop off point without driving a ways. .

Yeah that is a thought...!
But the Train is NICER, get fed, place to sleep, watch some TV.
And be able to take a NAP
The Cost would be about the same.

I did drive to Darlington 8 hours each way last year.
During the miserable summer.
Through the insane Northern Virginia I-95 Corridor.
Think I am the only Racer Driving their machine to the Races.

The Drop off point is Sanford, Florida.
Next to my home in Altamonte Springs which is 30 minutes from Orlando.
Figure about a 2 hour drive to Bradenton from there.

You will be able to see my pale northern winter face a mile away !

Dunno. We have a LQ trailer and stay at the track. I think Bradentons website has a list of local hotels. If you have any troubles let me know as some of my boys are Bradenton locals.

Kenny,
You did'nt pull the old trick a truck puller customer of mine used to do did you? They had stock class they would put new engine in truck that was about 12 colors,I think each body panel was from different wrecked truck,then they would pour used diesel oil over engine,then bucket of dirt,looked like 150K miles,could'nt even tell had brodix heads,cast iron bowtie intake was all hidden well. Just aggravating you,hopefully you have sense of humor.
Congratulations on your record

SHHHHH!!!! Its really a SB2 w/ a sheetmetal and splits under all that greasy LT1 junk!! LMAO!!!

Thanks Dan but I'm almost embarrassed about it. There is no record in D and I only went 12 under. I did it cause the Tech guy told me there was points to be had. (misinformed-no points) I got the motor sealed. To make it official I need to go thru teardown which is a PITA in this car. I plan on dropping to C/PS very soon. Probably before Jackson at the end of the month.
