To those of you about to race we salute you!

With this weekends big race outside of Atlanta fast approaching I want to take a minute to wish the best of luck to all who participate.

I also know you will be very good hands with JW "Jim" Spradling II

on your team:up:

This man was instrumental behind the scenes helping me run a great program all day at Maruaderville II! I could never thank him enough!

Jim is real pro when it comes to drag racing. If anyone has a question I know he would be only too happy to answer/help you with it.

This also is the first public runing of the Atlanta Project Marauder. (Hell Boy)

Best of luck boys may it run better than your wildest dreams:up:

I lost the oil pump in mine, so I won't be making the trip. But, I know everyone will have a blast, and there will be plenty of pictures and videos. Go get 'em guys!

No, damage to the casing(internal) cause the pump to lose prime. Didn't drive it without pressure, so no damage to the motor. Even the billet oil gears I got from Dennis were fine. Replace the scored aluminum face plate on the OEM pump with a steel plate, so that particular problem should not recur. Diffrernce between a $500 and a $4k repair. Dodged that bullet, thank goodness.

Well shoot, I was looking forward to seeing Jim in Atlanta...He is always a lot of fun. I guess between Jim, Marty and Ross my opinion of lawyers has become a lot better. Of course, it had no where to go but up:P

Watch it Bud! By the way, where are you? Do you have my cell phone number with you?

[Smokie]

Marty, has your car been down the 1320 yet ? What are your expectations timewise for tomorrow ?

I'm sitting at the computer in Joshua, TX. I've got a physical therapy appointment this morning and then Coli and I are headed to the airport. Our plan is to land at ATL and drive to Team Ford. We can check into the Hampton Inn in Commerce sometime later tonight. I don't have your cell # handy. Can you PM?

[Agent M79]

Best of luck, guys! Keep the pistons in the block!

I can't join you this time but I am looking forward to seeing it run in the future. I'll bring my Depends.

Wish I could join you in the fun, this one really appears to be a blast. Remember to take some of those boys comments lightly, it's all about fun and comaradery. No fighting!:D
