NJBA may drags @ ming

[Cs19]

Just had not heard much from ya Nelson. Ya I was talkin about you.
Hey, my advice is get there on Friday by 2 or 3, the earlier the better. We can get your pit set up, get the boat through tech, if you have any problems with tech, you can still make it into town and get parts,etc. Then you can go pay your entry fees,etc., have dinner at the Rio Bravo and you will be all dialed for Sat. morning. You could still show up sat. morning if your in a bind, and you will probably make first round since your running RR, they dont call RR till like 10 or 11 usually. Thats what sucks about RR, the air has gone to shit,etc.
Ive got an extra 5 lb. fire bottle if you need it.
Hopefully Cyclone is making progress with the pop-off.

We won't make it this weekend. Going to the NHRA Drags. Be sure to have a Margi for me. Hope to make it next month.

Busby, Thanx For The Info... Cs, You Said Exactly What Im Plannin.... Too The "t".... I Think I Got Every Ting I Need, I Might Be A Little Low On C02, But I Think Ill Make It. I Have A 5lb Fire Bottle. My Warm-up Bottle Is Actin Up, So That Jus Add's To The List.. But Im Still Making Good Progress. Got The Engine Togather Tonight, Jus Gotta Run It, Pull The Rockers Off, And Re Tourq The Heads... Usein The New Flat Out Copper Head Gaskets N Theyre A Bitch. Gonna Be A Late One Tonight N Tomarrow Night. Hopefully Ill Have Time To Cut On The Loader / Blocker. If All Goes Well Tomarrow, Ill Be Leavin Here Before Noon On Friday. Should Put Me Up There Before 3pm. My Only Worry About Tech Right Now, Is A Fuel Shut Off, Since I Have A Mechanical Pump. We've Always Had To Have One For The Taf Boat. My Roady Is Still Unsure If He's Gonna Bring That Boat Or Not... He Paid His Fee's, But He's Thinkin About Waitin For Redbluff. Hope I Get Her Done... Wish Me Luck!!!!! Nelson #109..

well good luck Nelson. We run the flat out gaskets also, took 3 or 4 re-torques to get the things to seal properly, but when they did they were the sh*t.
I will have Joe Shelfo come see you when you get there (he's one of the Tech's there) to assist with anything you might need. He's a boat builder, and usually carries everything to assist passing tech. I know he's racing this weekend, but is teching on Friday.
I spoke to Mike (cyclone) earlier, he's not going to make it ... has too many issues with the boat (rope deflector, fuel pump prob., pop off, etc.) we are going to address his pop off issue next week and he is going to dial everything else in before the June race. Bummer, I was hoping to see him run, but it's such a nice piece ... I understand why he would rather wait and do it right rather than rush it.
Anyways, I am leaving in the morning for the lake ... so I will be off of the boards after 11am, hope to see you all out there!

Hey everyone ... I'm off, so I'm off of the boards as of now, leaving for the lake.
Nelson, Shelfo ... yes a Ford guy ... but I don't hold that against him ( lol ), but an excellent boat builder and tuner. He's a great guy to offer assistance, he and his father have been drag boat racing jets and hydros for a long time.
Everyone be safe for those of you who are going, if you need to look me up while you are there, I am boat 061, huge white toy box near the tower/white Frod F350 crew cab dually, Alcohol Hydro. Stop by and say hi!
