Finally got this thing home in one piece!!

Went to the track tonight with Ky's school bus engine. It went 3 5.82's in a row. I won the 1 round gambler's race . That felt good for something to finally go right this year. I started putting the engine in at 10am this morning ,then got it fired and the transbrake wouldn't work . Had to work on it for a while but finally got it lined out. It was crazy hot tonight too. I'm pretty impressed with the little 466

Good to hear Dan...now go win some money to pay for all the carnage.

yes good to here its doing fine...the little engine that could.

now go have some fun, you dam sure worked for it.



Keith

Good to hear you are haven better luck.

That's a much better post to read from you Dan!! Glad it stayed in one piece for you, hope your luck is turned around now!!

Bill

Good to hear Dan

I agree with Bill, Glad to finallly see a good post about the Bird this year. Other than the Bash it looks to have been a rough one so far. Keep on keepin on.........

Travis

great news Dan are you still running the 9 " 557 converter ?

Yes Randy ,same convertor. I thought about changing it ,but I'm gonna run 1/4 with it at Norwalk . Didn't want to push the RPM's too high. I think it'll stay right around 7000 or under this way. At least it made a night without coming apart somewhere between the headlights and taillights

Cool . I am glad you got things going your way . I know you were about to get disgusted.

It's been way past DISGUSTED for a while now

Good deal Dan no breakage is allways a good thing.....


Randy

congrats Dan ....... its great to see you with a smile on your face !!!!

Congrats! Glad to here the glass is half full for a change.

Old Hippie,
It is good to hear some positive news from your camp.
It sure was nice of Jelly to loan a mill to you.
I considered offering the 514, but the way my luck goes, I would probably need it the following week!
Now you are all set to go!
Sounds good.
Take care,
Keith

Cool deal Dan-O.

This 466 is ready for your 5.80 class

It was pretty funny, my cousin has a tube chassis Lumina with a .060 454 with Merlin heads. He just rebuilt it this week.He thought he could handle the old Bird 5.95 just won't get it done against 5.82..Them damn Chebie boys aren't very smart sometimes
