Got back late last night, it was an ok event, not alot of trucks showed up at this one, there were three different races happening. But I got a 1st in super stock and 2nd in pro stock, woulda been first in both but a bad battery post killed the truck at the end of the pit. Oh well, thats life, at least the guy that beat me was in another '79 ford. I have some carb issues to deal with, on three runs, the throttle stuck wide open and I couldnt get it back out, had to kill the truck, open the hood and kick it down, I have a pretty heavy return spring but the carb is just getting seized up. So its off now and gonna get tore down before the next one. I should have run my skinnies though, very watery pits, hard bottom, nothing at all like the previous 4 years there. My motor took a bit of a drink, nothing too major, but my carb gasket that sits under the carb hat had shifted somehow and was able to get some junk in it. I got it all cleaned out, might fog abit of oil down its throat once I get it put back together again just to make sure everything is lubed up still. I have some vid but its not worth posting. But I have some pics.
