    Some of the locals are high on the Vegas bet sheets for a good finish. :yes:

    then you got the long shot :picard:

    Work and race all ran together but will be marked as work or race so 2 different winners of class chains.

    Want me to take a pic? :dex: :rofl: :lol: Ya'll wouldn't want to see it anyway. Looks like I used a hoof rasp. :)

    I posted in another thread and should've kept it here. I may need you to break my chain down if I don't see SquareFile before then.

    Then me and you will be battling in the back half of the field Dex. I counted me as the long shot. :doh:

    Heck as long as we are faster then a stock chain is all I care about. I had never seen slower then stock in a build till recently. :jaw::eek:

    Some of those chains shown in thread look sharp [​IMG] . Better bring your A game when sending in your chain. [​IMG]

    I may get started on mine tomorrow. Got the 385 ported. Just waiting on parts. Got to finish the machining up on the 066 cylinders and I'll be ready for a mutt and some baby chain

    NOT looking for a freebie, but does anyone have a loop this size I could buy reasonably? Used or lightly rocked is just fine, not looking for a new loop. I'd like to hack on one for the "work chain" class, but don't have any PS stuff. I've been dinking around with my chains and hey, someone has to take last place, might as well me, right? I don't even have a saw to test it with!
    Thanks
