It seems like every time there is a big race or meet planned, I can't make it. Man ... this is getting frusterating.

I really wanna make it here, but if it's still vibrating, I don't trust it.
I REALLY hope it's just htat pinion angle, cause I didn't want to have to rebuild the trans right now.

TTT- All I have left to do is change the plugs, check the fluids, get my heavy *** speaker box out of here, and clean everything up. Can't wait to see everyone there. I thought I was going to have a little added suprise, but it looks like I'm coming all motor. 
Oh, well. 
Oh, well.

SOmeone better be sure to get some damn good videos! I'm not happy about not making it. I am finding out a little whine I have in my tranny is more than likely a bushing going out which could let the output shaft wiglle side to side which in the end would let the driveshaft wobble a little.
It looks like I'll be into a trans rebuild already with the 80e. I must say though, I've literally beat the **** outof this thing and it's still running damn hard.
Anywyas, someone better get some GOOD video.
Man .. I think I end up missing every big event because of some sort of trouble.

Come on guys. Only 10 trucks preregistered. You really should get in on the fun. There are probably hundreds of you within 8 hrs. of the shoot-out and it's well worth the ride. Truck speed doesn't matter,(except for braggin' 
) consistancy,and LUCK are the main ingredients.
The meet and greet,putting a face with the name,and getting ideas for your own mods (I stole goshawks intake idea from last year) makes for a great weekend.
I know some of you guys post times you can't run, just blame it on your latest mods, and come have a good time
