Okay, threw a rod and ventilated the block.
The 347 motor is done for the event.
The 299 inch V8 should be in the car and ready to run by first thing tomorrow, and the 4-cyl. is in the trailer, too.
Never give up! Bikes will run soon, course is still locked down.
Freud, two years ago during the Shootout we had 192 total on line at one time, and last year had 180. Still waiting for this year's highest.
Speaking of which (audience) -- we've had one of the folks in the area here offer a "matching grant" kind of donation. They'll donate up the $300 if it's matched by the total group of internet viewers of the event. No big hurry -- the offer is open for a week or so. But they did ask me to mention it. I wouldn't have asked for $$ if the offer hadn't been made with the stipulation that I proclaim it to the world.
