Re: On the funny side of the street
Dave,
John Force was the headliner. He had his two cars there, the second driven by Tony Pedregon at that time. Our Chicago Fire fuel altered match raced Drastic Plastic. The connection was that Tom Motry, owner of the Drastic Plastic fuel altered was a friend of Force's crew chief Austin Coil ...

Re: On the funny side of the street
We had a few very hot days which ended today with more reasonable temperatures around 25C.
I guess 25c = 77f....
Quite a few years back when I was drag racing, our team was hired to match race around this time of the year in London, ON as it was an off weekend for the NHRA in the States due to ...

Re: Selling a 226
Great deal for some close by, the TCV with integrated holding valve is worth your asking price, and then you have a steering wheel that brings $100 used.
Of course, I wouldn't be inclined to part it out as my nature is to fix things. Grandpa always told me "if a man built it, a man can fix it ...

Re: The weather
Here in Northern Il things aren't that much different. Mother said tonight that the year was almost half over and my response was that there have only been a handful of decent days so far and in a few months we are trapped inside again.

Re: 4016 deck lift repair

Matt,

Re: Kohler 331 ?
Seems that the K331 was produced in the late 50's to early 60's, I have never seen one. A google search references it being used in the Economy garden tractors.

Re: garden prep
Dave,
Interesting, your soil must drain well. Here in Northern Illinois I've only seen a couple of farmers out in the field and only one planting corn. Saw a couple posts from sweet corn farmers that had planted, but they always push the envelope as the first ones with corn for sale wins.
