  3. Sometimes I wonder if I just don't have too much time on my hands........
    An Ode to Eagle Field sung to “With a little from my friends”


    Oh what would you do when Earl started you,

    Would you try not to leave out on me.


    Oh where you be when he flew in the air,

    Would your front wheels be well off the ground.


    Oh I get high with a little help from Rocky n Friends,

    Yep the front ends high with a little help from Rocky n Friends

    And I’m gonna try with a little help from Rocky n Friends


    Oh when we’re half way there, will you shift with care,

    Or is it balls out, that you want to be…


    And when you start to drift, will you be the one to lift

    Or is it sideways, you always seem to be…..


    Oh I get high with a little help from Rocky n Friends,

    Yep the front ends high with a little help from Rocky n Friends

    And I’m gonna try with a little help from Rocky n Friends


    As we are almost there will it still be fair

    If I can see you there, alongside of me


    And at the end of the run, will it still be fun

    If in second place you seem to be


    Oh I get high with a little help from Rocky n Friends,

    Yep the front ends high with a little help from Rocky n Friends

    And I’m gonna try with a little help from Rocky n Friends

  5. 97 don't think I will ever do Nitro since I like to just do minor repairs after a race. And an alloy Block is way beyond my skimpy talents............ However sometimes my mind overruns everything else.......

    In the first shot you look like a grumpy old man. In the next 2 shots you look 50 years younger with a lighter wallet.

    Any plan to add a mounting bracket near the end of the copper tubing ?
    The added mass of the fittings on the end of the tube and the vibration present in all cars will eventually fatigue and break the tubing, imho....

  20. yep brackets will be added, steel tubing not copper.

  27. Add blowing out those fire lines to your regular maintenance. Never know what can be plugging them, bugs, dirt etc.
