Default I did my part.

The "Race Section" is getting weaker every year with the posts. There were only 40 pages of posts since last year at this time. The Bullet will do that in a month.

ECM was pretty much out of the picture fairly early on. Jeff's wife (hope she heals up ok), Brian's rebuild of his car, Jack's rebuild of his car, etc etc.

The CV-What Guys were a "No Show" with their stuff pretty much the whole year. TT-Bill going to a new job, etc. No race between the Mighty CV-What parts and ANYTHING.
Mike McCarthy might be the only shining star again if he wins his 6th Championship at Norwalk this year in the street class.

The war with the Dyno Correction Factor Guys and Mike Leech was won TWICE by Mike this year. Mike should run some quick times with that 1100+ HP engine at Norwalk.
I hope all is well Mike and you have clean runs every pass.

Do Not have a clue this year about who from the Butler Camp will show at Norwalk.
Have not talked to anyone in several months and the last was Travis for a EFI question for someone else. Maybe John will bring his new car even if it is not finished.

So someone had to step the deal up and at least do their part. George and I did our part as usual. Hope everyone laughed at some of the posts. The House Boy label for Jim maybe got a laugh or two. Wondering if Jim will bring something this year, he flew in last year. No words from George's "Blower Buddy" Dill or Dill's brother either.

I do see that George is asking for Supercharger Pulleys to SLOW HIS SUPERCHARGER DOWN. Maybe his weight reduction program has made the car too fast for him now.
Just a thought. Last week he was talking about stepping it up to 13 psi. Oh Well.

So it was just like Ground Hog day again for another year like I said. The Tom and George verbal war, George vs the ECM, Mike doing his thing and going higher and higher on HP and He WILL be going faster and faster with that "Army Green" Firebird. The CV-What was barely a ripple on the water and the RAV-Z vs Lynn discussions BARELY made a sound in the room.

The PY Board Reality Show is going to get canceled for sure at this rate.

Have a great Time at Norwalk. I have other plans during that time with my family.
Hopefully we will see some good times from my friend Bill Mellott and he will run some low 6 second times this year without breaking.

Bye

Tom,

X2 on that deal (until November 2014) as the East Coast Boys can still get laps in until then.

Rodney was planning on being at Norwalk, not sure if the car and TQ are coming with him. I hope so!

The ECM is in rebuilding mode, plus they're in Fishing, Camping and 4 wheeling mode. In other words they have real lives away from racing. (Can't believe I said that) But Jeff is out there racing heads up, along with Snyder and Langer, chasing the local titles.

I enjoy the Bullet, but I'll take quality over quantity any day. (Meaning pure Pontiac info)
