I'm hearing those dam crickets again. I just went through this thread and I guess my plans for the Miami Run worked out but boy did it cost me.

did it swallow a valve or what catastrophic failure was it?

I have a valve head sticking out of a piston. On the upside, I have another trophy for my basement wall by the pool table.

Pretty expensive trophy. We are redoing the drives on the 37 as we speak, one was eating teeth and the other one looks like just seals, water in both, motors look good for the season but will pull next winter to bump them up a bit. It is getting a bit quiet in here so I thought i would update as well. Hope everyone is doing well.

That sucks Mike sounds like a really expensive trip. Hope to see you guyz more often on the big pond this summer.

Well, As most of you know I lost my job Jan 23rd. Went to Key Largo for 11 days after that and ReeeeLaxed!! Came back to the frozen north and have actually been very busy getting things done. Daughters first car is in the process. My brother and I have become junkyard dogs. Picking up peices here and there to finish up some of his used car collection to sell. In a few weeks I get started on getting his 41 Apache ready for the next season. Just checking everything over. (Looking forward to maintaining a couple 900+HP blower motors) The weather phucked with us this weekend, temps were way up but the rain was always a possibility so no 2 wheeled fun

Trips to Rock hall with the "Crew" with a Helicopter in tow!

Jammin' on the James (No Doubt)
