HiTech

NO crazy block no wreck ., two racetracks u know for sure is a garrantee to cost some teams alot .. . every time they race there .. is isnt about the best car that day any more .. but the fans love it ... always omg they had a big wreck while expecting it .

i looked but didnt see memphis name .i suppose my old eyes missed it .. . least he is getting seat time .rental trucks cost to repair . must take care of it and do nothing dumb .... racers know seat time is the best time every lap counts .i look to see him moving up as he goes . last year was very unlucky issue hitting his tire man .but wasnt his fought //

THAT WOULD BE COOL i didnt hear that one .. .

we have to be careful with with talking to much good about nick .. swollen head at his age is dangerous . //

I AM 68 NOW and 15 1971 SO i am going off an old memory i may have spoke about somewhere on speedzone .i saw where bob sr spole about this once but didnt finish with all the truth . .. a man if i remerber correctly named mike put up the money to have terrys motor checked. i was told by frank to stand watch for some reason while the left head was removed . i dint know what = i was suppose to see . but i acted it out well i stayed out of the way . sorta looked the part standing next to dub rollins car . . some guys i wont name or could all of them started laying big money on the dash of the car betting he was or was not legal .. frank saw that and made them pick the money up the words he said i wont repeat .. frank told us including me to push the car out under walters little light bulb on the flagstand . then everyone except terry me kim bob walter and one other were the only ones who can stay .. the man who put up the money for tear down walks out looks at the cylinder number two and said sure dont look like a 283 to me .. . not a good ideal . terry pushed the man forward bob took him by the arm and then his head and shoved his face as far as he could and said now does that look like a 283 .yep he said with a ring around his face funny as heck . the motor was legal 30 over where they could have gone 60 by rule the thing was tech picked the side they wanted .. i believe back them some teams would over bore one or two cylinders if not one side larger than the other side.. i suppose to get more hp .. ..the face in the cylinder part or how it went down was not mentioned in the story ..

dont die to soon ron .. . in those days at cc it was a tough bunch i saw some nasty take outs on the track in the pits tire iron jacks and what ever .. but over all fun .. WHAT WAS IT BOB SAID TO RICK / did i ever thank u rick for all of this .i bet rick was honored ..sorta funny how they became such good friends . sorta like i didnt like nick at first till later on ..not a surprise for nick i know .. i have alot of respect for nick now . we have had some good talks . you find folks are not what u think they are on social media ..

. running if the price is right or something i can rebuild .. he lives in the country and if he breaks down its along day for me lol . i could rebuild his but that will leave him without something to drive could take a bit with shop work .. it still running but down two cylinders valves and worn out . just never know when it will give up stuggles to get to 55 .i have check junk yards i found nothing i could use if

SAD . I LAST TALKED to bob and martha after terry won his second champiomship the day after . BOB SAID HIS head was so big he had a hard time getting through the doors .. remember bobby won the race .. bob and i were standing next to each other at cc speedway when terry came down for the rick baldwin race .. . we had been chewing the fat about the old days when i asked how did u make that 57 so fast .. / a dumb quetion i suppose .he said lol handleing he did things to that car that no one else had been doing .. .. . HE was never rude to me . steven and i sent two heads one i owned and one he owned to bob for justins mustang he was racing . one turbo illegal here and one plain .we had plenty so why not .. WE didnt charge bob for them . . but steven asked for autographed items which bob sent .and a 100 dallor check anyway /steven never cashed it and put it in a picture frame . steven has passed on and i do not know where it went.. RIP BOB U DESERVE IT . ..

looking around for a 92 chevy truck .4 .3 MY BROTHER IS CRIPPLED .TO A POINT he can not work and none of us can afford to buy a rebuild out right .. if u have one and want out of the garge even if i have to rebuild it that will save money

A FRIEND OF MINE i work for for four years building motors and every thing else bumper to bumper tim knows his stuff has a deal i wished i could afford or even had a car to bolt into .. HE IS selling a 632 DART big m block brodex big duke tripple spring heads correction rockers are t&d rockers. adding more here has the headers .high torque starter billet flywheel belt driven vacume pump belt system bellet pulleys bracket for ac and alt alot to list .. tim is sending me more pics while it was being refreshed with cam stamped numbers to look it up and more photos that are coming in .. this motor is set to be installed hooked up and running with out buying much .it s purty much all there nearly complete for that price .. i would not put this out if i didnt trust the man ..i saw the motor in person t millidon gear timing cover lunati crank eagle rods flattop pistons FAST FUEL INJECTION WITH COMPUTER AND HARNEES .. HE REFRESHEbilletD the motor and found nothing wrong with it .. not sure on the cam spec , i believe it has the headers to go with it and other parts and what i gathered awhile back was in a 68 camero something like that and from memory i dont trust lol it dino at 980 hp or just under. nearly 30 grand with all the parts ready to bolt in if u bought it all new , my brother wants it bad but just spent nearly 30 grand buying and getting his jet boat re done .. asking $13000.. . i have pics just text me at 361 290 2096 .

THANK U

i know this is going to hurt someones feelings . i know everyone missed my outstanding spelling .outstanding thoughtful smart answers i gave and those moments when u think huh .. what he say .. i have been following subjects here all along while i was out . and man not once did any of u make it a point out loud to ask where the heck am i where was the love .. i know alot of my fans are staying in the closet wont step forward in todays world . social media is dangerous and would not love a front door full of protesters for admiting they love me . cant blame them on that point .. so i will settle with knowing i am famous in my own mind and loved by many ..that is. LOVE TO KILL ME .. my old boss always finished off the i love u with that statement /i never figured out why he was so kind to me must be a common sense issue .... anyway guys its good to be back ..i would say nick edited me out but that woild be a lie .. i had to replace my old computor it went to .well u know ... clapping is aloud and getting drunk useing ,me with the wife as an excuse to party is not advised .. dont want the wife mad at me . but if u do have a nice hangover / put the lime im the coconut . BTW .NICK CALLED ME TODAY ..I DIDNT ANSWER AT FIRST my hands were full no room for my phone perfect timing from nick .. i bet he said ding dong the wizzards gone . then nightmare return call came back at him .. . whata i do whata i do .. i said if i was dead my wife would leave . great scott mike is gone so dont call back go have a drink and be happy. .... getting drunk

you mentioned mini stocks . remember steve bobby pops and i built alot of those cars without pay without costing alot for those rookies like 13 back to back . . all the while talking to those same drivers the whats and nots to do .. even though you and i very seldon get behind the wheel anymore we never forgot how to race .. saturday morning i met a second time around driver in the elevator . from san antonio he rented a legend car ... running his second ever race .. ... you have seen the glow a rookie puts out .. but also dangerous glow .. lost in space ... i gave him some major advice with out his asking he did not know i use to drive .. till i said so and how many years i have been working on cars and such .. the biggest thing i told him was keep it between the lines do not drive past his paycheck do not wreck someone and pay attention to the flags ..and do noit move up or down with the leaders go to pass you .. the leaders have seen where u are racing long before they get to u .stay there .. ... just a few on the list i mentioned to him .. i hope it helped him .. always always talk to a rookie .i do .. you are not just teaching that person . when also it can save your car form being destroyed .. ..

just to come to listen to you is worth it rod .. tell u dirt trackers it was fun .. used tires were not an issue . we still have three of the tires on the car that can race again ..the right front blistered becuase of two things .. camber and to low tire pressure that was on me .. the track gave us from 3 pm to 9 pm to work the cars in /... u do not have to destroy your car to race that track .. . .we changed springs that most dirt cars have on them already .. . we did not add or take any weight out of the car fact it helped leaving it ..we had no more stagger or less than what we run on dirt . what the average tires come out too .. we took only six . with us .. ... practiced and ran on the same four we sarted out with .. other than the right front as i mentioned we can run the same tires again .no fall off ..

First time in years didnt have to wash the car dust off the jeans clean the tools .lol..blow out the trailer ..eating your food with out that added crunch /

MISSED the camber setup alittle .and maybe just a tad to low on tire pressure for the feature been awhile setting up for pavement leaned really hard on the right front . car stuck like glue fact to good it put more strain on the motor bogging it down.off the turns three year old motor . ... i needed to free it up just a tad like practice friday when it realy came off the turns with more speed . ..in the track to hard binding up the car sorta speek .. . . reminded me when our dirt track gets tacky on those ten inch tires really loads the cars down . scrubs alot of speed off and u see alot of hot motors during and after the race ..alot of rear bight on that car left side was right on the rules ... rear percent was close. loved the spring set up ...if we make it back for october i will need to work that right front camber issue out .. and give the motor some love .other wise we had a great time brought back a ton of memories cost a few bucks saw some old friends just a blast from the past after nearly 7 years of farm racing ..hope we can get back in october .. .AND it was nice to make a rear gear change aka whole rear end with out muddeling in dirt .. .sorta look clean when we were done ..

if u see a blured pic it was most likely me ruining the shot .. yeps got to see all those wheel standers run .. i like that tank on wheels ..

No one got jurt arob .. is that good enough .we finished second lol ... SAY ROD what was tom cruise real name .. we all had fun with your choice of name ..first time i really sat close enough to hear you do your best .. no one is bored when your mouth is running WILD .TOP GUN U ARE ... left houston at 530 am got home at 10 am . ID SAY THAT IS A REALY NICE RACETRACK .. WAS great after what 7 years on dirt changing the car to run there was different .. different not going home covered in dirt . seeing some of our old tps old men still racing .. WE finished second omn trhe mixed class factory stock .. MOTOR laid down on us in the feature and i missed the camber angle in the and air pressure for the longer run .lucky one more lap in the feature could have put the car in the wall . peeled like a banana never seen that before . but i know the reason why ..he had to slow down the last three or four laps from viberation ... but we have some good notes for if we maje the next one .. got to convince the three year old motor we need just a tad more power from it .. pick up the slack just once more this year .. give that 12 car some company ..as for those factory stocks who did not or could not make it this round .. u missed out it was fun it was worth the run .load in october and bring them out .. .. ..

leaving tomorrow ..

wet tracks on slicks make it touchy .. so nothing new for dirt racers ..the problem i am afraid of is losing grip during the later stage of the race .. i do not know that track at all never been there or seen a race there .. jesse has and i wont say it on here but racing that track like u do at another track we know of works great .. i hope the car is a tad lose early and comes on from half way on .. but that race is short and might be having to run hard .. who knows i dont .. i will be doing alot of tire temp readings .

DROVE BY cc yesterday looks like a salvage yard / nothing going on ..

just luck of the draw on tires rob .. .. . i think the futher south in texas the tires are not as good .. when so many buy them all over the place up north and east . the pic of the best litter does not make down here as much .. we have a set of used tires for houston .. all were ran but some look like maybe end of race or practice ..stagger isnt all that great but it is what it is .. . being its been a while running on paved we do not know how the car will handle there .. these cars were not built for it .. all the flexing off sets and so on shocks and sway bars will put u through the test .. and with so little extra tires we dont have .. ur best hope the car is decent and can adjust it fast with out using up those tires u will need for the feature ,, i dont know how many dirt drivers have raced on paved but i would say the biggest part of them have .. lucky for us we have many many years .. and the driver knows what not to do ..plus he raced there a time or two along time ago .., the car is the unknown //either way we plan to have fun burning those tires up most wont be any good for dirt i bet after . .. . when i built a car for me back in the day it took me two years .. when asked all the time is it a SHOW CAR OR RACECAR... i said no matter what it will look good doing what ever i do with it .. look good sitting there .look good winning . look good wrecking or look good dead last but it will look good ..period .. and we plan on having fun no matter

SOMETHING about talladega just catches my fancy more than daytona .. yet more goes on during the week leading up to the daytona 500 .. may have to just flip a coin

with it just being the wife and i joshua is getting married in november and had moved out a few years ago . sold all the racing stuff and no baseball to finance , every two years the wife and i take a long trip out of state .. ... now i havet to decide where to go on our next vacation ..maybe main lol .. pick a time when nick is up there that would put a dampner on his trip .. so help me put out should we go to daytona or the big track in alabama

STOP GOING AFTER 2002.. the cost was way to much .did not get to see the race that weekend rained out and moved to monday my contract with fed ex ground was not going to let me stay i had no one to run my route . 1400 bucks and nothing to show for it all weekend .hanging out in the malls with 7 poeple ..nothing else to do and i hate malls ..have no plans ot go back cheaper to stay home .. it was fun but took alot out of u having to come home after the race . our jobs were more important and all the kids had school .. .
