Without Drag Week 2020 to thrash towards, I don't have too much motivation to spend all my spare time for the rest of this short, beautiful summer in the shop. I'll keep plugging away on the bad weather days, but when you live in Minnesota, you need to be out enjoying the summer, too. KSJ, what goes good with crow?

KSJ, what goes good with crow? Figured you'd have a good recipe after losing the last bet? You know I just need to keep razzing you, and pushing you so we can be ready for next years Drag Week?

KSJ, what goes good with crow? Figured you'd have a good recipe after losing the last bet? You know I just need to keep razzing you, and pushing you so we can be ready for next years Drag Week? I'm still moving forward. There is some stuff I was planning to do over the winter to lighten the car that can't be to accomplished with the motor in the chassis. Now that Drag Week is cancelled, does it make sense to put the motor back in for a couple weeks to win a bet, then tear it back out? Now that my valve springs finally showed up, I will get the Hemi screwed back together, and onto the dyno, then I'll see how much time remains before the expiration of the bet, to decide if I should temporarily put it together to trounce Jeff, or just buy him dinner...

So if you get a good pass in and Joel doesn't you win?? That is correct. Even if I made a 20 second pass.

I was hoping you'd forget about this post... I am covered on the 2020 dinner tho... I asked for Texas Roadhouse for Christmas, and I got that plus Applebees. Enough to cover the bet, so my wallet is safe!

Enough to cover the bet, so my wallet is safe! Should have added a no gift card usage rule in... its more rewarding to see you squirm as you pull money out of your wallet.

Well the race is on! Joel has managed to keep himself from shiny objects lately, and focused on his HEMI Coupe. I finally got my short block back from the machinist, but waiting on my SR heads to be freshened up. They’ve had the wrong valve springs in them since who knows when... Hopefully they will be ready to go before this weekend. I’m hoping to make some test passes at Rockfalls on the 27th, then Joel and I will head to Norwalk for the Midwest Drags. Possibly going to 6 different tracks in one week.
I am really looking forward to that week.

It's going to be close. I have the advantage of having all of my parts, Jeff is still waiting for his heads which is out of his control. Jeff has the advantage of his car already having run the number and being sorted out. I have the disadvantage of needing to test a new combination and being three or four tenths away from the target.
It could be anybody's race!

The new dinner bet for 2021 is: First to make a 9.79 pass wins. SInce the COupes best is 10.14, Jeff thinks he has easy pickin's. But he doesn't know about my new secret weapon!
