If I know Dan you will have 12 empty cans of Mt. Dew in the trash and the new motor will be installed tonight.

+1.

This engine is a real mess, though. Oil is a good 1 inch thick in some spots.

Sorry to hear fellas. No doubt was an awesome car! I had a feeling something like this would happen after reading those rules. Llook at the talent in the dragon crew you obviously made some people envy you! You guys could make a turd a diamond with just a killer set of tools! If you guys decide to do it again next year let me know I'll definitely come down and provide support.

Congrats Sam! I just tied the knot myself this past August! I met her at a Friends wedding in 2006 and rest is history! haha

got the motor all torn down tonite and cleaned most of the block up w/ degreaser- it was really nasty. Doesnt look bad but may need rod bearings. BTW- ive decided to not shave until the Dragon runs again- i want to be like Travis anyways.

You want Travis's 6 week beard/calico cat on the face look? I'm sure you can figure out the engine before you look that ugly....

I'm trying to fit in with the amish so I haven't shaved in about 6 weeks as well but unlike travis, my beard actually grows....unfortunately as it grows it looks like pubes on my face. My wife loves it....
