Jeremy,
Thanks for sharing the info with us, it is nice to hear that it was a good turnout. I heard they even had a Die Hard Lightning enthusiast there all the way from Mass.

Did you guys put the stock blower back on pauls truck at some time? All I saw was the prototype blower like suavys got...

 

this is the blower on pauls truck

 

I'd like to give JDM a big thanks for helping me out during the weekend trying to diagnose the problem with my truck. Even though limited in their abilities without a shop to do it. You are an awesome bunch to do what you did for me. Made my weekend a lot better than it could have been.

Got me a chip burned I traded with superchips so I could run without my truck dying. Changed my plugs at no charge and a coil pack (I had) to fix a miss. Paid to run my truck after making changes in Gallop for the Gold (after I missed time trials) to see if the problems went away. I borrowed money to give Jim for that and he didn't even take it. Did a lot of things just to try to help out other Lightning owners as well.

You guys were great!

Thanks!

Lena

 

I really had a great time on Sunday (as fun as you can have not racing). I got to meet Jim, Don, and even Stan (Ruslow). The one thing I noticed was no matter how hard you try you cannot get Noel to tell you how he really feels.

Jerry

 

I had his blower on my truck til Sunday morning. I pulled it off and gve it back to him. Thanks Paul.
Unfortunately the 10# lower and 3# upper pulley was too much for te 8 rib belt.

 

JDM are you guys coming to Cali. in November?

 

Back to Top

 

Well,

I didn't get any of the free Bar-B-Q, or the free help from JR with anything.

But I did have a good time Hanging with the Texas group of Lightning owners.

And I do want to thank Doug for standing out in that hot azz sun for 2 1/2 days taking the great pics that help us to remember the good times.
