    You guys are silly...

    But I know I need to get some video up, even forgot about this thread because its been so long.

    Aaand I am bored with the power, needs more.

    I will try and get my wife to use her good camera since mine isnt very good for video. I have absolutely no vids of the truck at all, and its been a while. I want some even for me to watch, never seen my truck run because I am always driving!

    I just drive it every day so the fun factor wore off already, lol. So that can mean only one thing! Boost!
    Problem is I have been racing off-road motorcycles a LOT so thats taking all my time and money from the truck project.

    But I got a new GoPro a month ago since I lost my old one racing in a National hare and Hound (motorcycle) and just got a new one for my Bday. I'll get something together.

    I'd get smoked, I only have around 330hp. But when the snail finds its new home should be double that at the wheels. Thats when the magic happens.

    I am still debating doing this. I wonder how much fun/fast it would be for all the effort it takes. Doesn't seem that simple of a swap....

    Its by no means simple, there is a reason you dont see them, I never saw a completed one before I finished mine.
    Its running like crap right now, I think this is giving me a reason to crack it open...even though it probably just needs a set of plugs, lol.

    Taking a bit longer, I broke my GoPro in an off-road race...I siliconed a new glass lense on it hopefully it still works, even broke my Gdamn helmet hitting the ground so hard!

    Silicone is still curing, just did it this morning, the siliconing I mean.

    Yeah it was a good one, a 70 mile Desert Scramble, won first in class by over 10 minutes with a major crash and a flat front tire for 60 of those miles!
    They are forcing me to race in "B" class again since I wasnt racing for over 10 years.

    Racin "A" class starting January, sandbagging for now, lol.

    The silicone lense idea didnt work so good, going to the shop right now to see if they have new lenses or housings in stock, 2nd Gdamn one I broke in 2 months! I better quit falling on my face! lol. I even got bruises from when I crashed 2 weeks ago from my face hitting the inside of the helmet! :eek:

    I'm too old for this falling shit!
