I was just looking at my summit racing parts tracker and it looks like my boxes from mentioned store in Sparks departed Tonopah this morning. My parts might be passing this guy in a ups truck in the opposite direction.[/Quote

Saw some southbound UPS trucks. One of them may have been headed your way.

Hawthorne

I have made that trip several times in the past couple years. I dont think these guys understand the ammo cash Hawthorne has, maybe you could snap a picture of that insane **** going the other way. All I remember about that place is the view of thousands of bunker type buildings scattered all over a valley and the rail road depot in the center.

Here is a few pics of the ammo buildings and bunkers in Hawthorne. Got to be several hundred(or maybe thousands) on both side of the road.

Truck still running good. Has used O oil or water. Been running 70+ mph. Mileage still holding steady at just under 10 mph average. Engine temp staying at 185-190 no matter the load. Been very happy with the engine /trans.

I forgot to ask, where are the pictures of the drag car? Thats what I really want to see.

Fun fact about Tonopah you probably did not know, there is no air compressors in that town so if you get a flat you are completely screwed. I know this because I was trying to get my Mustang to New Mexico on ****** tires that lost air, they finally ran out in that town. I checked 7 places for compressed air and everyones machines were broken or missing the hose or something. If I remember right, fix a flat was 14.99 a can and suddenly everything made sense.

Normal on launch. That's why the call them wrinkle walls. Watch a top fuel dragster in slow motion and see just how much they wrinkle all the way down the track.
