Hello Group...=C2=A0 I FINALLY got my GT6 car back together after 2 1/2 yea=
rs of trying to find someone who could line bore the engine.. the builder r=
ecommended by a fellow group member was out of state.. I almost had to show=
 up threatening to get my engine back after 9 months... I got the engine ba=
ck in the car and used my local speed shop in North Texas to dial it in. We=
ll.,.. the engine was a crap assembly and so back out again to start over a=
nd re-machine ...back and forth in and out a couple of times to FINALLY get=
 it right..=C2=A0 So dialed in 121 hp at the rear wheel dyno'ed ... all flu=
ffed up and ready to go. I even registered both of my cars for the final CV=
AR event at Texas World next month.. it would have been a logistics nightma=
re sort of.. I would have to trailer one car down one weekend, one the next=
, and repeat...=C2=A0 so... I figured a test and tune was appropriate for t=
he Triumph seeing how it had been 2.5 years since I'd been in the car so I =
went to Eagles Canyon yesterday and ran a couple of 15 minute sessions... h=
onestly after racing a GTA with 400 hp and my 1965 Mustang with 400 hp... a=
 little Triumph with 150 hp was a little boring... to top it off... I came =
in with a blown seal or trunion on the front right hub. Had I been at the t=
rack it would have been one session or two and I would have been done for t=
he weekend. Not that you can't blow up a Ford engine or seal... the differe=
nce is... I could go to O'Reillys and get a new wheel bearing or whatever..=
. I'm just tired of trying with the GT6... I've had a lot of fun running 13=
0-140 mph in our Group 1 in the Mustang. So.. with that... I'm selling the =
GT-6+ , 3 parts cars , and all my bits and pieces... I have to repair the h=
ub or seal or whatever blew on the car this next week, but I'll be listing =
it and my parts on eBay in the next few months so look for it or you can em=
ail me if you have a part or maybe interested in any of my stuff... I start=
ed today with a MKIII parts car and a MKII hood on eBay. I'm firesignsales =
on eBay if you wanna watch in the future....=C2=A0=C2=A0 Bobby Whitehead
