[quote=ERA Chas;1314890]ONLY ONCE???
KC builds a jewel of a motor-USE IT!

Well, I didn't have much time - by the time we got back from our usual Saturday morning, senior citizen discount breakfast at IHOP it was already getting pretty warm and I was getting a little shaky from the meds for the crud I'm still taking.


Get out and row through the gears using as much engine as possible with downshifts-stop coasting down to stops. You work up a rhythm much easier that way. And you will grin like a fool.

Here in Sherwood, we have probably one of the highest cop densities in the US - if they see you grinning like a fool they figure you're up to something. I've even had the distinction of being ticketed in my own driveway a couple years ago which I did not take well.


You can do this with more peace of mind on track if you'll believe me and are street-worried.

Not much track access in Arkansas - I think way over at Memphis is probably the closest - about a 110 miles down the heaviest truck traffic corridor in the US. Few dragstrips about 80 to 90 miles away. But I would probably be thrown off for no roll bar. I pretty much have to get my kicks (such as it be) on county roads and if you know Arkansas, there aren't many that have a straight stretch for long. But keep it going Chas I'm slowly getting there.
