Ok, I was all disgruntled about not making it to the season opener in FLA. because the new F2s wont be ready until late april early may. Procharger threw my F2 brackets out that were already machined and tapped for my set up. In steps my buddy and procharger dealer MIKE DEZ. He got procharger to ship me a complete F2 set up. Ill have to pay to remachine the bracket and drill the lower pulley, But racing the opener was as simple as just spinning the old style blower SLOWER. I hadnt even thought of this as a temporary fix until the blowers with the NEW parts come out.(GOOD LOOKIN OUT DEZ) The issues are only when the blowers are spun max so this should cure my problem while I wait. Im gonna step the blower pulley from a 48 tooth I was using to a 54 which will probably knock about 4 lbs of boost out of me but Ill still be able to make laps in FLA. ;)

Thanks MARK, Now Ive got PROCHARGER saying you should be able to spin the blower max with no issues,, Several months ago they needed to put some new bridge in it, Story changes I guess, If they want me to be the test pilot Ill spin it max and if it chunks, they will replace it.. Cant beat that deal I guess.. Just waiting on them to send the stuff back so TINY can get machining on it. What are your plans? anything coming up you are going to make? whens your first TRUE STREET event you can come to?

Nothing planned yet here. Top end should be here early next week and hope to be testing some time in early April. I did sign up for the Pinks All Out event at Maple Grove the second week of May. The week after Bradenton. I wouldn't mind coming to Bowling Green but we have a hockey tournament in A.C. that weekend so it looks bleak.

You're going to run your car on PINKS?? Did someone check you into the boards too hard? :) Hell if you are gonna risk giving that car away let me know what you want for it. Ive only seen like 2 episodes of that show where the racing was even close. Bring a good negotiator with you and youll probably be able to run a 15 second car and get him to spot you out 10 cars HA HA:D

:eek: No my head is just fine. There are no titles exchanged. 350 cars make 3 qualifying runs on Friday. They pick 16 cars for the race on Saturday. My guess is they will pick a bunch of cars in the 9.5-10.0 range to bring back on Saturday. Not sure about the negotiating on Saturday but the winner gets $10K and the top 8 left get $1000 to bet with or something like that. I look at it like this...............for $35 I can get 3 passes on a Friday, I can take off work and run some of the local guys that you never see at the track, and maybe I'll get to see that clown starter get run over by an out of shape pink Malibu.;)

Marc,

Now that is some funny stuff, right there! I wonder if he has ever had a really good look at the underside of a G-Body.

Good luck, man. Let us all know when that episode airs.

Thanks Ron. I don't think I will get picked to race on Saturday. There's too many cars and I am guessing they will pick from the largest and closest grouping of cars. I doubt that the qualifying will be on the show but I will keep you posted. And the above mentioned G-body is also signed up to go.
