Tim,

Fantastic photos! I subscribe to Classic Trucks mag and can't wait to see you and Jake on its pages.  That will be cool.  Sounds like things went relativley well aside from the starter bendix and flywheel gear ring coming loose.  I'm glad to hear you'll be putting the heads to use.  I hope they add some mph to your next runs.  After reading Keith's thread maybe you should bring some duct tape along as well.  Anyway, keep living the dream and thanks for sharing.

Here's a little slide show I put together of the "Uni" build. We pulled the truck out of a tomato patch in Stockton in early Oct. 2010 and it was on the salt @ 127 mph in Aug. 2011. The build took place in three different towns Modesto at Bigredtodd's, Visalia at My place and in Hanford at my friend Johns.

I did a video like this for my dragster and it was less than 10 min, this one took a little longer so to get it on YouTube I had to split it into two parts. It's a little long but if you have the time I think you will enjoy the transformation.

El Mirage Sept. 11 2011 we had a great time! The weather was nice, had a great light show Sat. night. We slept out under the stars in the back of the pickup and had a beautiful sunrise.

Our first run at El Mirage was a good one but the rpm showed that I should have been doing 133 and the timing slip showed 124. There is definitly some traction loss on the loose dirt. I'm gonna add some weight to the rear for the next meet, 200 lbs to start with I think.

One other thing I would like to mention, as much as I like to drive "The Brick" just notice how straight and stable "Jake" is going down the coarse.  Kudos to Todd for his suspension work!!!

Wow Tim Jake looked straight as a string. Your Video has inspired some Ideas. With the ECTA 2012 season up in the air due to losing there lease at Maxton we have been thinking about our salt debut next year. I was thinking about running Loring and then going to Speed Week. Now after you Video I might try to hit Elmo in Sept and follow it with World of Speed the next week. What are your thoughts? I have heard at El Mirage you have to be a club member for records or run as a guest but you don't have as many chances to run. How do you join a club? (is it even a option) Just thought I might pick you brain. Great run sounded like you had a blast. Thanks Sam
