Congrats!!! way to go Richard, it's about time... ..... I'm still amazed that you can get on those bad boys w/o dustin however, people still don't believe that my times were w/ an HX 35 BB plugged waste gate Ok, so I just put in my new package today, it's kinda like yours (HX35 14-HOUSING) Gives us your race schedule, I'll see if we can pull off one more road trip before I put Ernie (my truck) in the feed barn for the winter.

Well well well, Cool deal. I agree with Fletch's "it's about time". Been waiting but it seems to have been worth the wait. Good Job.

Way cool Richard - What engine are you running now?

Richard:



I knew things would turn around for you once you dumped that itty-bitty six-banger in favor of the tried and true 6. 9

What am I missing here? It this (6. 9) a typo or indeed is Richard not running a 5. 9 anymore. I thought he was running the new engine that Pier built.

Whew... ... ... . thanks Mark for clearing that up. Anyhow, I should have started this post by congratulating Richard. After all, that is what this is all about and he has certainly paid his dues and worked hard to get to where he is at.



CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
