Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
What a day. We leave the house at 5.20am to get to BG by 9.00am testing is from 10 to 6. First stop 10 miles down the road is for diesel. Start one pump OK start second pump not OK the hose falls out and covers my pants and shoes in #2 Diesel. I can't think of anything more manly than taking your pants, shoes and socks off at the truck stop fuel island, but I did.
Long story short, go home get cleaned up hop back in the truck, motor home, and have a good day testing with my son and the help of many. Return home at 9.30 pm just completely beat. What a great day we had! Last edited by Larry Hill; 08-17-2023 at 09:28 PM. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Dumbo put a smile on my face today. Then the sun came out and real hot and made the smile a frown. Spun hard round two. Two stick stock cars F/S and G/S got real loose down track right in front of us round two. We both thought the track crew would stop us and inspect the track, but not so.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Off topic but the motor home refrigerator just died. I worked fine at BG last weekend. Never a dull moment racing!

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Only one more fuel filter to check then we load up for
BG and Indy. We are looking forward to seeing friends and foes. Foes are friends that are just in the other lane. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Frank we always try to be a player for class at Indy. Been number one a few times at Indy then got tore down and passed tear down. It’s someone else’s turn to be at the top of the heap. I always tip my hat to anyone that is smart enough and works smart enough to be number One at Indy.
We are so happy that Dumbo is wanting to be a quick elephant. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
It’s not related to the build but another bump in the road got us. The motor home generator stoped running some time during round one of Super Stock. We got beat first round and came home. Today we’re going to see if we can get enough stuff working to get to Indy. Just another day at the office. My elephant doesn’t like the heat.
Almost forgot I had to put Stocker stuff back on Dumbo for Indy. Last edited by Larry Hill; 08-28-2023 at 02:29 PM. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Maybe Dumbo's first, but not yours. Just do your deal, and remember to have fun - after all, that's the idea, right?
