Sorry for the late mention, but the system was down most of the day for me.
 
Extra long stroke.


You ever seen a top fuel engine in person? Those guys just weld them shits back together and resleeve them lol. Millions a year to run and the blocks look like jigsaw puzzles sometimes, I don’t blame them.
I grew up going to the Pomona, CA drag strip for both the NHRA season opener and championships. Going to the pits and watching the Crews completely disassemble, inspect, and rebuild those engines between runs was amazing.

I went to the NHRA races in Memphis in 1988-1989.
If you could put a muffler on them, they would be rattling, haha
Saw them pouring gear oil in the engine blocks.
 
Everybody enjoying the snow?

Everything’s covered in 1/4” or more of ice; and it’s gonna get worse as the day goes by. Good times.

It’s nowhere near as bad as last year’s ‘Snowpocolypse’ of course, but with no real means or infrastructure to deal with inclement weather like this down here in the Tejas hill country, it’ll be sporty.

We’re all set though, and thank God today’s my ‘Saturday’ … off until Sunday when the weather should be much better. Just gonna hang out, catch up on some books, and netflix and chill.

edit: and God bless all the farmers, ranchers, cattlemen, and critical role folks who have to be out in this mess.
