Well, don't feel like the Lone Ranger boys & girls. Bud, Mark & Frankie were ALL still working the night before the race on getting their cars ready. It's a real miracle that we were ready for the race Saturday. BTW Asa, I'll send you Frankie's address so you can send him his hard earned TPR coin that he should have been able to earn MANY years ago..........but Nooooo, had to always attend with "mommy's Porcha"!! :o(( Frankie followed me home & stayed the night here & I got him off this morning @ 7:00 for his trip back to Nashville. Bud made it home also with no problems. Mark was going to stop in Ohio last night & continue home this morning & I haven't heard from him yet but he's probably on the road like Frankie right now. 
Bev really enjoyed herself in Arnold & surrounding country this week & now understands completely why we have such a great time every year with Gary & Jo Crow. Gary Kept switching drinks (rum & Cokes) with her one night @ Jim's bar & she got higher than I've seen her for 20+ years! She kept giving him shieeet about it but kept on downing a few & mellowing out as she downed them......FUNNY stuff!! :o)) Needless to say, I don't think she can wait to go back with me next year.....HaHaHaHa. Sadly she had to go back to work today (& tomorrow) so won't have much time to post any of the 400+ pixs she took for a few days & I need to review what video we were able to get so Russell can edit it & put it on a website (U-tube?) with a link for all of our TPR brothers. Just be a little patient with us & we'll get the stuff up ASAP..............

I tried adjusting the tension nut on the steering rack but at this point I don't think I'm getting any more loosening of the rack. I think it's pretty much what it is.  It does seem a lot smoother and easier to turn thankfully.

I think I had it soaking a bit too long; the gold Holley coating is all coming off and revealing the the cast aluminum underneath.  Oh well, I didn't need it to look Holley gold anyway.  I've blown out all the passages and cleaned all the gasket surfaces.
