Although the truck count has gotten smaller once again, the fun factor at nats has not changed. I suspect the actualy people count hasn't changed much either. As always it was a great time and great people.
For me this year was a little different. My dad was able to fly in and attend with me and see how crazy of event it is. He did go to Great Bend nats before but this is his first in KC.
Wednesday when he arrived I had waited to start my typhoon until he got there. Being I live 2500 miles away him and I don't get to spend a lot of time toghether it was worth the wait. He was the person that really got me into the car hobby and taught me a lot of what I know about cars and life. It was special to have him with me.
Wednesday we had some ECM/Laptop/user issue so I suspect it started on limp home mode.
Friday Paul Skywab and I decided to play with it and figure out the issue, which as many saw we found and got the truck to idle. (although Jimmy let me borrow his burned out ecmB fuse). [url="http://www.manfra.org/vids/JS-TTv8.wmv"]http://www.manfra.org/vids/JS-TTv8.wmv[/url]
In the coming weeks I will get the trans hooked up, and some brakes.
Thanks for everybody pushing it at the track, I almost felt at home again inside.
I really wish I could have driven the truck, it just didn't happen. It is close. I do think i am the first person to win a racing class with a truck that never drove. Next year i will defend that title with a running/driving truck.
"Myclone" Most Innovative Mod award: Words can't express how much this means to me this year. This is the 3rd Most Innovative but without a doubt has the most meaning. Good to see you Lisa, I surely hope you can attend every year. If you need any help getting you or a truck to the next nats let me know.
Morgan did a wonderful job on the trophies. I know you spent some hard work making them happen, thanks.
