The old Dodge A108 was hauling parts again Thursday…..Filled it ….again….with 1961 Chevy wagon parts for my buddy Keith….this time out of Sidney, BC….someone even took a pic of it at gas station in Duncan and sent it to another friend of mine who sent it to me. It’s got a good rake if I don’t say so myself and the Cragar SS wheels are timelessly cool. There’s two hoods and a tailgate in that pile as well as two back seats and one front bench seat and countless other parts. Great parts hauler and always surprised at how much stuff its cargo area can accommodate.

Ran a 10.82 in the final and beat the El Chubacabra Mopar AWB wagon to stripe…….but broke out on my 10.88 dial. Best run of weekend and second fastest I’ve run in car but runner up ain’t too bad when racing with the Gasser Get Down gang. Thanks to the Langley Loafers for running such an awesome event. Congrats to Chris and Pat.

Thursday night set valve lash on Ford Country’s 521 Ford and when we fired up it sounded as nasty as usual but then our buddy Jason Sawatsky noticed the harmonic damper wobbling…it came apart but lucky in the pits and not on track. Anyway we were lucky to source one at Mopac and picked it up with minutes to spare as they shut the lights off in the store while we were paying….then the old one would not come off and we destroyed two Canadian Tire pullers before finally getting one that did the job (also thanks to help). We had a small community around the car….but no one with an installer tool. We used two thick washers and sockets as spacers and some bolts from Lordco to get it back on……but none of us noticed backwards😂😂😂😂😂😂….pulled it off, broke a puller bolt in damper but were able to get it out…all back together and two good and one great run today so far. (10.93 and 10.95 good ones…10.88 great one) close to dial from last year)….thanks to Chris/Pat and crew from El Chuba Cabra crew and Jason Sawatzky and my pit crew Greg and Kev for all the help.

Man I love everything about Pacific Northwest Nats…the road trip there and back and the wide variety among the thousands of cool cars you get to take in all three days….lots of cool Canadian cars in attendance and at least three in the winners circle Sunday…..cant wait until next year. Look for more coverage in a future issue of Canadian Hot Rods magazine.
