We made it to C10's in the Park, truck drove from the hotel to the park and back without any issues other than being LOAD in the cab and hot in the cab since the floor is not insulated or finished out yet.

Had a great time! I will get some pictures loaded up here in the next fee days...
My buddy Matt (from our Waco 'Mini-Nats' days) went out there Sat morning. I didn't make it there but told him the only 2 trucks I was going to look for was yours & GringoLoco's.

Glad you persevered & made it there!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
