Car #56...thats all I'm saying.

Car 54 where are you!

Had a good time at the Bug Blast yesterday. It was hot, but breezy and a passing shower seemed to cool everything off for a little bit.

I got video of the burnout contest:



No sooner did we leave the show, the generator in Eike's Ghia blew up. We located another one at the show and we put it back in.

Less than a minute into the video and the red '56 goes into the wall... unbelievable.

Thats awesome that you guys were able to get the generator fixed back up with another one at the show. Sorry I couldn't help you, we were already entering downtown when I got the call and I didn't have anything to help out with. By the way it looked in the video, the pit crew got him back on the road in no time... although I'm not sure if Russ recorded the whole thing; the video ended when he was questioned about it!

Fun show. I definitely want to go back and camp for a night or two in the next year or two.

Ask me sometime if anybody cares. and I will show you how to change out a gen. without jerking all that stuff off, Only the carb has to come off. Takes about 20 min. if you are really slow . Done it this way for years. And yes everything was put back on.

Pulley explanation ??

I've heard for over a year now that you were going to do a tech session explaining the groves on the pulleys
