So this is how my weekend went! - US131 Mo-power event - 08/01/11 05:46 PM

Started off I went to hook up the truck and trailer Friday and there is a noise in the motor of the truck ! Not good! Not sure whats wrong but maybe broke a valve spring? valve train type noise in the pass valve cover. So I went and got grandpa's truck. A FORD..nice truck 08 4 door 460. I hope No one got a pic of me in it ! so we get loaded up 2 hrs late. on the road we go. Tows great No problems . Two times runs sat 11.21 and 11.19. I had a 18 on the car I like to take a stab at the dial in right out of the box..get me in the right frame of mind. car ran dead on 3-4 times sat. right lane was bad late in the day.But I see it and dial for it..We try to stay in the left lane. Well we won yee ha ! That's real good for us in the points. We are in the points lead now.Was down a round and half going in. Sunday Jenni pulls a red eye first round..Not something she does very often But hey it happens..Bought back in. Got to the 5 round (more points . she had a .009 he had .007 light we broke out by 3 with 4 and he broke out with a 3 with 9 .002 at the stripe so close. not much you can do with that. .so turn out to be a great weekend. got meet up with some moparts members. Vic he is mad at me for calling keith..I am bad with names and faces. I met Vic 3-4 times now. very nice guy.I felt like heel ! Keith and his wife are very nice.enjoy talking to them. 68 shifter very cool car..neat wheelies !.. I am sure I will remeber more as the day rolls on LOL. Here is a pic.

It was great meeting you guys in person. It was the first time in all my years of racing that I got beat by a girl. Technically I beat myself (redeye!)but that is probably because I knew she was good and took a stab at the tree. So she plain just beat me.
I love seeing lady racers kick some butt,I know some guys have an issue with it.I hope she keeps up the points lead and you guys can make all the races you need to.
I will see you at Norwalk!

I hope you read my whole response,I love the lady racers,my wife is a racer too.At least she was before she lost her car,and will be when her new one is done.
I was lucky enough not to have to race her at our local track when we both ran points.

Sorry, I didn't mean to direct my response at you. I just meant that I've heard a few negative things in my days at the track too.
Not often, but it happens. Luckily my husband thinks it's funny, because I then try extra hard to beat them, lol.

Congrats, Jenni, yer killin' 'em this year on the MoPower circuit.

Vern, did you find out what is wrong with the truck?
Posted By: VernMotor

Re: So this is how my weekend went! - US131 Mo-power event - 08/10/11 01:49 AM

No I have not .I have been working on it every night. But have not found out yet..I was sure it was a valve train noise. but I have look long and hard. Even took some valve springs off and tested them. work on it some more tomorrow.. keep plugging away at it till I find it.. tick tick tick . Not to many V-10 dodges out there to ask questions about ? Not a easy motor to work on. have to pull the upper intake to get the valve covers off. I going to check torque converters bolts tomorrow night ???
