    El sucko!

    From what I gather, that motor was a last minute deal.

                  They didn't happen to bring the old mill with them did they? major bummer. From what I saw on Finnegan's page, this is a 491 inch deal. It'd suck the nut if that's all the runs they get in!! Gawd, I'd be thinking about JY'ing a 454 and putting a diaper on it just to get in some more runs. Fuuuuuuurk.

                  I have to ask this though... why is it always a last minute thrash? Good lord man, is DF that big of a drama junkie? I'm petty much a last minute kind of guy, but the stuff they do would wear me completely out. Haven't heard much from KT in like, oh , forever... he seems to be pretty methodical most of the time. I don't understand the "week before the dealio" thrash.

                    I doubt he does it for the drama, it's more like he has way too many things he wants to do. DF doesn't just sit there letting life pass him by.

                      He's a bit of a procrastinator. Almost never has the mag turned in by 6 pm. It's usually long after midnight. Though, the engine got the full dyno session.

                      The old 572 got hurt at Maxton with DF at the wheel.

                          It wasn't up to snuff at Loring, but it still managed to get David, Keith and Tonya into the LTA 200 Club !

                            I was wrong. It was Loring, not Maxton where the motor got hurt.
