Thanks for the kind words, guys.

I can't wait to see this car.

We'll be hanging with the DIYAutotune crew. If you need some help, don't hesitate to yell.

Beautiful crank Mike.
That's the right stuff.

[Tman]

I am liking that engine porn!

[4-barrel Mike]

Life and other minor responsibilities keep getting in the way.  The Merk won't be ready for Speedweek.

So my pre-entry is for sale.   

World of Speed or World Finals are still possible.

Mike

[Hot Rod Lincoln]

well that really stinks .......     but I do know what you mean by it " Life" and it's responsibilities  get  in the way of my fun more than I'd like.

Hope to see you on the salt someday.

I'm sorry to hear that Mike.

[4-barrel Mike]

Thanks, guys. 

I refuse to take an unfinished (or partially tuned) car to the Salt for my first drive!  There's too many stories of guys working on their cars for the first three days of their first trip and then finally firing for the first time ever.  Doesn't sound like any fun to me.

I'll be driving down with Drury Thursday for four or five days, depending.

[Bob Drury]

  I told him to pack plenty of K-Y Jelly.............. if you get my drift..........................

[Speed Limit 1000]

certainly adds to the stress level, but part of the event.

Hope you get it out there this year at the other meet . Maybe we'll see ya on the salt.

Mike,

Mark Dees (RIP) was the one that come to mind of never having his car finished and would try to finish it at the salt. Sorry to hear of the problems but remember it is all about the journey, which you will remember the rest of your life.

Watch out driving down with Ol' One Run, we don't want him rubbing (off ) on you. If you know what I mean.
