Drag Week canceled...

[AlanCasida]

Dang Doug, sorry to hear about your water.  Hope it is a simple fix.   Umm, unlike what I went through last year!!

Yeah, hoping it's something simple like an intake or head gasket, and not a split cylinder. I only had the chance to take it for 2 short 6 mile drives this year, just to keep everything lubricated, get some fresh gas in the carbs and make sure it was running okay, which it was. No odd signs on the oil pressure gauge while I had it out. It has a very minor drip from the pan plug and I was walking by it a couple weeks ago when I noticed that the oil spot under the plug (about the size of a quarter) had a bit of a milky look to it. I knew right away that wasn't good, so I checked the radiator and sure enough, it was down about an inch. I was hoping to get one more Drag Week and Reunion on the engine this year before replacing it with the new engine, then I had planned on tearing it down and giving it a refresh.

I ordered a small bore-scope so I can take a look around inside the cylinders, and I'll do a pressure test using the scope to check cylinders and inside the lifter valley and intake tracts before yanking it out and tearing it apart. I guess the timing isn't so bad since I won't be doing any racing this year. Trying to keep a positive spin on it...lol

I got my fingers crossed and hoping it's something simple!.

Our local track,( eastern NY), has many street nights, test n tunes and points night scheduled. They only cancelled a jet car show so far.  I’m hoping to get there in September unless this part of the country has gone backwards Covid wise. I have a fresh engine, face plated trans with a Long shifter and an adjustable clutch to get acquainted with in a track environment. 

Doug, hope you find something ( relatively), benign with the milkshake problem.

Regarding the FE Reunion, my daughter lives in Pennsylvania and she is hearing there may be a new state mandate coming that would put a limit of 250 people for outdoor gatherings.  Seems it would affect the FE Reunion, hope not.

Marriages are 300 people.  So, let's just plan on someone tying the knot?   

Heck, protests are unregulated, so there is that also!  The new FEPR................. FE Race and Protest!!

Or in the end just makes sure the ticket numbers just don't go over #250?  Print lots of repetitive numbers up to 249.

If you started with -250, you could get 500, but I like the protest idea better. FE's DO matter

No officer, we had no idea the Left Lane Reunion was the same weekend as our Right Lane Reunion.

Well , Carlisle events are still happening. Spring Carlisle was a couple of weeks ago, Chrysler Carlisle this weekend. Spring was sparse, but they got it done. How or what must be done to keep the state happy??? The official edict is 250 people, max, but there must be ways around it. Campaign contributions ??
