Oh, that's no good...   What will Paddy do with all that extra SemiChrome polish??!?    There is still time to give notice and get out from under the repression!    :bye2:

I was in the running to make it, then found out last week that family is flying in for the week from the East Coast....    :dash1:

I am also not going to be able to attend. I will be racing at Thunderhill in Willows, Ca. It is located north of the rally on I-5. If anyone is interested in stopping by on Sunday to say hello, I would glad to meet you.

Hey Randy, are you running in Saturday's  NASA event?   http://www.nasaproracing.com/ (http://www.nasaproracing.com/)
Sounds like a kick. Whatcha runnin? Details, Details...Pictures, etc...

A bummer that I won't get a chance to meet you this year. You have been such a great help to us FJ'ers, I wanted to buy you a cold one....

Next year's 10WCR perhaps?

Yep, I will be there running all weekend. I will be racing my Thunder Roadster. Ran there last weekend and set a new track record of 1:57.701 for the three mile course as well as victories on both days. I will post some photos of the car when I get back to the shop early next week.

Never know what 2010 will hold.

Pat,

I am currently running this Thunder Roadster. It has an XJ1250 or 1300 depending on who you talk to... We will be at Thunderhill with 20+ other Roadsters and Legends cars.

Thanks, Randy

 Randy, That's GOTTA BE FUN!

Can you recommend a good west coast (hopefully LA area) FJ engine builder. Kinda like Hank Scott.
Hank takes the niksil plated XJ cylinders, bores them out and then re-sleeves them for 1349cc displacement.

Your pic is my new screen saver  Thanks Randy

Pat

Well, I am not in So-Cal but the central valley of the West Coast. You can send them to me. I build 20+ engine a year and that can easily be done. Shoot me an email directly to rpm@swaybar.com.
