Introduce Yourself

[McRat]

Welcome!

Understand there aren't a lot of LSR venues for thrust entries.  SCTA has no classes for thrust, IIRC.

And hush about diesel being interchangeable with jet fuel.    I already catch enough heat without somebody posting I'm running airport fuel! 

J/K guys, REALLY!

We also sled pull occassionally with our trucks, including our LSR truck.  Good to see other pullers on the board!

Nubbs, got all your fingers? 

Sure don't 

That is my screen name on many sites. You would be amazed at how many people do not figure it out until after I meet them.  A light bulb goes off and they are like "thats why your called Nubbs"

Thanks for the info everybody. 

Until I buy a house with a garage I do not think I will be building my own vehicle.  I also tend to set a goal and once I have achieved it I move onto the next goal hence why partnering up of renting a ride would be the best alternative for me at this time.

WOOW, what's the size of the collector on that header?
Not sure if there's a class for "blown diesel"

Troy, it's about time you came out of hiding. Welcome to the forum. Be nice to see the roadster run again.

Now - that's a project of which to be proud!  I'm glad you don't live within earshot -- but it'd be nice to have the house a mile or two from you -- so I could visit and enjoy and still not quite hear it late at night.

Welcome to the Forum.  Stop by often, okay?

[Troy Cagle]

Hey thanks I feel honored to be here w/you guys.
Is there a specific forum here on Land Racing to post pictures?

No worries man!

Troy, good for you on the AA, my son is also in it as a few on the forum. Pictures can be posted in the build diary or by a couple other photo shop things. Not sure but Jon W. will chime in and let you know.

 I am a new official member to the Forums. However, I have been a participant for 3 years now as a guest. My hubby - captthundarr - also gives me daily updates. I just figured out how to get my membership up and running. I guess you could say I'm a bit technologically challenged. Those of you from Maxton may remember me as the KIA car driver. Well, the KIA is dead - runover by a Chevy Silverado last fall. It was not a happy day for many reasons. 1. It was my ride back and forth to work. 2. It put an end to our race season. The good news, it actually helped us buy the "true race car" for the team - '91 camaro. Hubby and I are diligently working to have it ready for Maxton in May. We've been following the ECTA rule book and speaking with Joe Timney to build it right. Hopefully, we'll pass tech and be able to do some shakedown runs. I really need to get my speed fix, LOL

Hi Sweet Pea, glad you made it. Luv ya. Whats for dinner?
