Default Hello from Bahrain!

Dropped in to say hello. Been going pretty steady out here doing various operations, staying busy, getting anxious to get back to project 2500HD!
I see XLR8NSS has got me beat in the 1/4mile by .5 or so seconds (definitely need to remedy that )

Saw a single cab Silverado SS out in town last night, not sure if it was just badging or a UAE version of some sort. Just nice to see a full-size truck anywhere,.....first one I've seen in 4 months wow!

Been thinking alot about what the next steps on the HD should be....
Trying to figure out a good plan of attack. Still have all the exterior and interior mods to make. Also some suspension work and a traction device of some sort. Been looking at those new Nitto drag radials for the 20" wheel, might try a set of those.

I see BlownChevy is a married man now! Congrats brother!
Also see some tweaks (improvements) to PT.Net, all cool ****.

your next step is to get in it, turn the key and drive it. Man you are almost as bad as Sarah Winchester
Glad to hear you're doing good bro.

We HAVE TO get a solid GTG going for JAN! Maybe another AZ gig, or a trip to Fontucky!

I would like to come down to your neck of the woods and run. Janurary would probably be good if funds allow. NorCal has a GTG in a few weeks, I'll get with Spoolin' and we'll get something going for then. Fontana sounds good to me.

that sounds excellent. I'm not even sure if Fontucky has those private track days anymore but those seem like the best bang for the buck, drag racing-wise. Other than that, we could do a truck GTG, a drive and some food

whatever's clever, I need to put some miles on the HD again!
