First off, a BIG thank you to the Viola Horse & C**t Show and everyone involved for putting on an awesome event! 🏁👏 We had a great weekend and really appreciate all the work that goes into making a show like this happen.
I brought my truck along to jump in with the Super Stocks, and after everything we’ve been through lately, I was just excited to get this thing back on the track!
Since the last outing we’ve been busy…
🔧 Replaced a weak valve spring
⚙️ Found and fixed a broken front ring & pinion
🔩 Fixed a broken rear U-joint
🔥 Changed the plugs
🛢️ Fresh oil
🛠️ Reshimmed the clutch
So needless to say, when I finally fired it up and rolled toward the track, I was pretty damn excited to see what we had!
The good news—the truck RAN and PERFORMED GREAT! 💪🔥
The bad news…
I think the driver left a little to be desired. 😂🤦♂️
I definitely learned a few valuable lessons on this one. We didn’t place where I wanted to, but honestly, after everything we found and fixed, seeing the truck run the way it should again was a big step in the right direction.
And there was no shortage of competition. This was probably the toughest group of Super Stock trucks I’ve lined up against yet, and I appreciate the opportunity to run with them and have some fun! There’s no better way to figure out where you need to improve than lining up against some of the best. 💪
Oh, and there was one more first for me this weekend…
They auctioned off the Super Stock trucks to help raise money for the event. 😂 I’ve never been auctioned off before, and apparently the market wasn’t exactly booming for me because I didn’t bring a very high bid! 🤣🤣
Understandable after seeing the results! 😂
Either way, we learned, the truck is healthy, and we’re still moving in the right direction.
Keep digging. Keep learning. Keep making it better. 🏁🔥
