I caught a bit of a video on YT of Murder Nova's new setup. He's running a ProCharged Hemi as is Daddy Dave and Ryan Martin. The drivetrain of all three cars are identical. Interesting.

Also Daddy Dave has a new car. It's an Audi! ProCharged Hemi as well.

It's an "Audi".

It's sharp, but it isn't Chevy II sharp

I'm redoing the front end on the golf cart and needed 4 new bearings. Nothing special same bearings and seals most small trailer hubs use.

$24.99 each in town. WTH

$8 each on Amazon.

I just don't understand.

Is anyone planning on attending the PRI show next week? I registered today.

It's so frustrating. The disparity between brick and mortar and online prices is crazy. I don't understand it.

I was on the fence, then I got scheduled for onsite work Thursday and Friday so I know I can't go either of those days. And honestly, not sure I care to go just on Saturday.

It's aggravating.
As much as I want to support local business that is not even reasonable to me.

Bearings and seals in town $140ish

Online $40ish.

Watching the latest Whistlin Diesel video. They got both engines running and they're shifting both Allison transmissions with one TCM. Pretty freaking rad.

 

[Bigtanker]

Wow. 3 inline 6 cyc for power.

I'm going

My plan is go up on Thursday. My company is paying for the day so I'm thinking they shouldn't mind if I went during the work day.

When you are planning on going?

When you are planning on going?

We (the race team) are planning to go for a few hours on Friday and then a couple of us will likely go back on Saturday.

Do you know if they have metal detectors or wand people coming in? Asking for a friend.

I have never seen a metal detector or any wands in use at the show. Obviously procedures are subject to change without warning. I've carried there on multiple occasions.
Usually everyone pours into the lobby/hallways from about every direction waiting for the show to open. When it opens the security folks usually just open the doors and move out of the way

Now that’s more like it. Loud noises. Crazy jumps. Even an appearance by a special guest!

I've had tickets for the past several shows but never made it; late vacation plans, weather, didn't feel like dealing with the whole "downtown" thing. Didn't even request tickets this year.

Finally got to watch it. Pretty good.

Last year had tickets and got vid round 2. Forgot about this year but really don’t have time.

I was offered a ticket from someone at Fleece. I think I'm gonna take it. Would have liked to be in the woods, but that got screwed up. People are just like, moving trees, right? Haha
