Well I took a little trip to Texas to pick up the Valiant Left Thursday and got to Bill Boon's (Texas Trailer Man) Friday....Car was all it was said to be (Rust Free Straight Solid Platform) Can't wait to drag her home and start ripping it apart

Got to throw a huge Thanks out there to member Rick Mariano ([Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] Red) It's exactly what I was looking for....only better

Met Rick, Bill and a few others from their car club for breakfast this morning and you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer bunch (thanks for not singing Happy Birthday)

Hope to meet up with Jason this afternoon for a couple of cold ones and then head on up to North Star Dragway in Denton for the WITKO NATIONALS this evening with some of the guys from breakfast.....supposed to be a bunch a Blown Altereds up there tonight

If any members will be there, If you see a guy wearing a black "RIGHT TRAILERS" cap and most likely sport'n a "Miller Lite" please introduce yourself

Heading out for home in the AM....pictures to follow....!!!!!!!

Live from Texas...Rickster

Funny you can't put [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] on this site, even when it's the guys log in name. I was on one site that blocked out Dick Landy's first name. Congrats on the new toy.

Wish I would have known you were in town Rickster. I know the club has something going on up at Northstar tonight, but can't remember what it is.

I have the car torn down for a week or so to do a couple of things I have been putting off....plus I don't race when it gets to 100 degrees. Almost learned the hard way last year on the 4th of July racing in 105 degree heat.

Have a safe trip back home.

Thanks Brian....would have been great to meet up This was kind of a last minute decision to leave when I did

I just pulled back into the hotel and noticed the temp gauge on the mirror reading 104* Florida's 98* is all of a sudden sounding good

It was a real treat there big guy. I hope the Valient turns out as planned. The welcome mat is always out in our little corner of the nation.

I missed you at the track, did you see the "Sundown" AA/FA run that 3.96? And they said they were nuts for running a Mopar Wedge with a blower and nitro in the tank. Yessir, a 512 B-1 on nitro. It runs like a scalded dog.

That's awsome. Didn't think they would have any Mopar powered cars there, much less a wedge type motor.

I remember seeing that B1 altered a couple of years ago. He seemed surprised that anyone recognized the B1 heads. I thought they were running methanol at that time. We went up there to watch a friend (Nancy Matter) run her TA/FC.

Thanks Rick and no I left a little after 9:00 right after the final qualifier....some badazz Iron out there for sure especially with those temps, can't even begin to guess what the DA was nevermind the track temps....cool venue, wish I hadn't had to get up and scoot for home

If your ever down in this neck of the woods...give me a shout

Made it to FL staying the night in Pensicola...should be back at the house by 3:00 tomorrow
