___ Spend a few minutes on Preventative Maintenance. *** Metal fabrication, carpentry, wood carving, and more activities use 4 1/2" angle grinders. Help them live longer productive lives by making sure the ring and pinion gears have grease . Do this on your existing older tools and as a very first step with brand new ones.

1st 41 laps before pause for sprinkles.

HAMMERHEAD sporting a baby 318 and too tall 5:13's needs Mo Power and shorter gears to be competitive, here. 8.75 Mopar rear end will be exchanged for a 9" and 5:83's for the next visit to this track. And if monies are available, a 360 power plant as well.

... holed the piston immediately oil fouling the remaining 3 cylinders in that shared plenum of the dual plain intake. Previous race, it hit 265 during a yellow, and I took the checkers at 250, so something like this was expected to happen. Was 9th in points out of 21 with 3 races left in the season, and the last is 3 33 lappers. Meridian Speedway,Mopar circle track,oval track Dodge,Mopars

After all the trials and tribulations of the past 3 seasons, I've finally got a good working combination. Now, I just need to start pushing my envelope in the driving department ! I sure should have been right up in the pack during that restart, though.... It was actually FUN to drive this time ! Finished 9th out of 11. Am currently sitting at 9th in points out of 21. High 90's ambient, and finished at 265 degrees.... I could break down and give in to the GM crowd by switching from Mopar, .... but that ain't gonna happen. I've always taken the hardest path on anything I do. It makes any success so much more sweeter ! Team 61 Race Cars in Emmett, Idaho
