    I can't get to the track, so I'll piss the neighbors off instead.

    Come down here in our part of the world. That would guarantee that you got elected for MAYOR.

    First pass lifted the wheels off the ground and I saw sky!

    Second pass was a dud, you can here it fizzle out on my last shift. I changed plugs, added timing but I think the plugs fouled so badly waiting in the staging lanes running at idle.

    It's a HELL of a good time. Racers have come from as far away as Canada, Texas, New York, Florida. Spectators have travelled from as far away as Great Britain, and Australia. Pre-Registration is set for the beginning of January 2022.

    Here's a link to the official thread here on The HAMB.

    The IH Scout in this video is from Manitoba Canada. It's owned by Saxxon, here on The HAMB.

    Well, I have been CRAMMING all week, tucked in the Hemi, pulled my donor axle out and installed in the jigsaw, tuned it, new fuel linkage and ready for Nitro Revival racing tomorrow!
