  1. As I post this note, over 1" of rain today here in RS with 3"-6" expected by noon Tuesday. Winds are blowing at 25mph with gusts up to 40mph. Praying the electricity stays on and the trees don't come down on the house, barn, out buildings, and the MH. Predicting up to 60mph gusts later tonight and Tuesday morning. It will be an interesting 24 hours.
  2. I was thinking about a V8 in any of them...I put a MHV8 in there because I already have a MH E7. But I am starting to accumulate MH parts so maybe I should concentrate on a MH w/V8 (single axle?). I should have bought a second MH from Martin's and repowered one with a E9. Too late now.
  3. Looking good Vinny....remember only 8 months till Macungie!!
  4. Yes, tell me about it. It takes some time to learn where to place it on the road when you don't have a hood in front of the windshield. I get nervous in construction zones with the concrete barriers on the line and narrow lanes. And then you have a semi passing you.
  5. I saw a placard with #111 (that includes non-Macks too). If they do it again next year, the parade around the track needs to be changed so we all get a chance to run the circle "at speed" for at least 2 or 3 laps. I stayed on the track for an additional lap and got waved off just when it was getting fun.
  6. I have 35 acres in central PA (about 3-1/2 hours west of Allentown and close to Watts and Hagerstown). We can "work out a deal"!
  7. My thoughts exactly....reminds me of the old saying "check the fuel and fill it with oil". And can you imagine trying to sleep with that 2-stroke screaming all night.
  8. Did you get the cereal number of the MH? (sorry Vinny)
  9. I am a retired engineer and yes companies are always pushing for something "newer" and "cheaper". Of course new government regulations "force" alot of new technology (but not necessarily better technology).
  10. Thanks guys for the info and pics. What is the going price for a nice original late model RS single axle (if one can be found)? V8 would be a hot setup but I would settle for a nice original 6cyl. The hunt is on....CF - RS - MHV8....darn can't decide and I definitely don't have the jingle to buy them all! Maybe I better just stay on the porch.
  11. Finally got all my pics resized. Here are the links http://www.bigmacktr...ck-show-part-1/ http://www.bigmacktr...ck-show-part-2/
