A fellow Lightning owner toasted his pads/rotors at
IRP and we had to do an "on-Track" repair. Kenny's
race crew loaned us some Royal Purple grease for the new
rotors, and several other things.

Luckily, I had done the same thing to my stockers at
Putnam earlier this year so I did have all the necessary
tools to lend a hand. (Be Prepared !!!)

IF YOU ARE GONNA ROAD RACE YOU NEED TO BRING EXTRA
PADS AND FLUID. PERIOD.

Just wanted to thank Kenny and call them heros. This is
what the SVT experience is ALL about brothers.

Cliff

PS.... It was a pleasure meeting all of you this weekend ...
I can't possibly remember everyone's name, but you are
a GREAT group of truck owners. We had about 12 Lightnings
there chasing Speedin Bob around hte track ....

Hey Cliff,

Isn't it great to get out and race with other Lightning brothas. No internet B.S.
That is why I love the FFW events and the big meet days.

Glad to see you guys were having a good time.

I know I have lent my Snap-on 18 volt Cordless impact to more then one L brotha to help speed up tire changes.


Now were is the PICS>>>>>>

Oh the one you forgot when I came racing






Whats Happening V

 

My scanner died ..... "Christine" was so photogenic that
the DRP (Digital Racing Photography) guy Jack took about a
THOUSAND pictures, and even had one POSTER size printed up
for Saturday's Driver's meeting .... It was the ole no. "7"
being chased around the track by about 8 Mootangs....

LOL ... Wish it was the final lap instead of the first ...

I am getting a CD from him and with Doug's permission I
will post some links.

PS... Speeding Bob's truck is awesome in person ... I need to
get that PAN HARD from Stan

 

its great to here that the big dogs are still helping up littler people out. i try to help fellow L partners out whenever i can.

 

Cliff,

It was indeed a pleasure to meet and hang with you and others this weekend. Your covering the post-event Hooters bill was unnecessary but GREATLY appreciated. Next pitcher of Heineken is on me chief!! Thanks again for the use of the electric impact wrench! Must have item for sure.

When you told me to park "Next to tower where the Black Lightning without brakes is parked," the initial thought was "UH OH!" and was confirmed when I saw this...



You are 100% correct in that "IF YOU ARE GONNA ROAD RACE YOU NEED TO BRING EXTRA PADS AND FLUID. PERIOD."

Your assisting in the brake repair and stopping in a safe location to assist the Cobra in front of you that ended up taking a HARD hit is a fine example of your character. Good man!

22 gallons and ONLY 144 miles on the tripometer at fill up this morning... Smiles per gallon.. heh heh heh

Glad you had a good time and I look forward to L-Fest and Putman in October.

How did today's straight line action turn out?

Gimme a call anytime!

Bob

ps. Got a name, number, or website for the DRP?

 

That's soo cool! I'm jelious of you guy!

 

The Cobra

 

I showed up at about 1PM and it looked as if it was a standard weekend out there. I didn't see any body from Saturday, and the only Lightning that I saw that appeared to be running had a dial in of 14.2

I coulda beat that with my dubs I hope. Oh well.

I was expecting a closed track for the SVTOA or something, but I was WAY wrong.

Kenny Brown is indeed a very nice guy, as well as his crew. Wasnt aware he was out there with you this weekend

Road Racing in indeed, the toughest kind of racing you can do to your truck. You may even want to keep an extra set of rotors on hand.

Speedbleeders
2 Bottles Of Fluid
2 Sets Of Pads
