....55 is the magic number for the EKG. Saved my bunz. I failed the EKG big time, they gave me three, and was told I had a massive heart attack some time in the past. A few days later I was in for a triple bypass.....10 months later two of my three new bypasses were clogged and I got to do it again. Spent over $500,000.00 of my health care providers money in less than one year.

BTW...I tried to get the second bypass surgery done under warranty....NOPE!!! LOL!!!

....and yes, physical first.

Even I can pass the physical, as bent up as the bones are EVERYTHING is in working order. Dang bone cancer was rough on me!(but I won!)
My seat/cage stuff will be an interesting feat though, having lost most of 10" of height probably 8" between hip and shoulder (my hips support my ribs thes days)! Dont think NHRA would like seeing me use my kids old booster seat

Gach if your hearts good you shouldnt have a problem!



BTW Amusement parks get nervous when I go on coasters and stuff with my kid. Guess I look worse than I think. Have to assure them I'm not trying to kill myself! Thats ok with me, at least I'm around to talk about it.

My day off and I'm flying like a kite, so here it goes; I hope to be present on this epoch 2 Dec Atco Event, but honestly the finances are not working (we're living paycheck to paycheck) even while the 68GTO is running real good. God I hope to be there because I STILL have no beef with Gach, nor anybody else, and geez, there is alot of Test&Tune to be done to get my 68 junk into the low 12's (pathetic for the Race section) yet yo all know a Street/Strip ought be slow, (with 12.0 being respectable with factory iron).

Overall, seems to me Gach is ready to run the numbers. and that my friends is exciting.

WEARS GACH?
Remember those GAS PUMPS?

They had a selection handle on them with five or six blends, wasnt it?

I wish I could find one of those pumps....been casually looking,but hard to find.

You ought to hear how those old mechanical price/qty meters clatter when gas was around $4 per gal. Old station not far from me still using old school pumps and NO alky in their gas! Wish it was Sunoco or better yet some of the good stuff ANY brand from back in the day.

Actually there were 7 grades of Sunoco custom blended gasoline starting with 190,200,210,220,230,240, and the top of the heap 260.
There were decals that the service stations had that were flamed and said 260 fired that we ran on our street, wanna be drag cars, either on the wing window or quarter window...LOL

3500 lbs. with 4 people in the car! I bet it's 3150 lbs. after the dust settles.
