o no - sorry to hear about the truck.
Congrats on the win.
The buckeye stock / super stock is a tough crowd. Agreed, both Buckeye and Great Lakes have some tough racers. A few weeks ago I had to face Jimmy Ronzello and Darrell Ciaravino. Jimmy won the NHRA Route 66 event this weekend, Darrell was on kill their as well until a redlight put him out. Doug

Congrats on the win, and bummer about the truck!
I've had to break into my '05 Ram before, keys ended up being locked in it running on the side of I-96 in Grand Rapids. Two antennas was enough to pop the electric lock button.

I've had to break into my '05 Ram before, keys ended up being locked in it running on the side of I-96 in Grand Rapids. Two antennas was enough to pop the electric lock button. They are way too easy to get into. I bought a small "furniture leveler" from Harbor freight. It looks like a blood pressure cuff. I never lock my keys in but did on my '09 Ram about a week ago when I had too much stuff in my hands and left the keys on the console. Using the "leveler" and a piece of stainless trim, I had the door open in less time than it took to type this. Now, where to keep the little cuff....

Resurfaced the flywheel. Went to install the clutch yesterday. The supplied pilot bearing was wrong. Bought one locally. The pressure plate bolts reached torque before contacting the flywheel. After removing the pressure plate and a close inspection the bolts were too long. Also the internal portion of the disc is deformed. Ordered another clutch, but it's Memorial weekend. Dont know when it'll get here. Trying to leave for Bowling Green Kentucky on Thursday. There is always a new challenge.
