Well, where do I begin here?
I guess I should start with the pit-crew of the TRUX #57DD...
Which would be the following people:
Joe Jentile - found me the motor, pulled the power steering pump, and the pulley puller.
Phil Lomanoco - helped pull the power steering pump from the old motor.
Josh Oswald - just about everything!
Jason Makarewicz - ALL the help with pulling the old/dropping the new motor AND HIS GARAGE!!!
Kevin Makarewicz - ALL the help with pulling the old/dropping the new motor.
Jeff Owler - pulling the old motor and dropping the new one in.
Bob Wink - Tools, tools, tools, the extra hand everytime I turned around.
Jody Wink - everytime I needed another tool, she had it for me.
Gabe Horvath - Tools, tools, tools! and the help with the pulleys!
Tim Pauch - water and hoses.
Steve Tito - found an exhaust DAY OF THE RACE!
Bob Kulik - talking me through some issues and help with the oil.
Pappy - tools, tools, tools, and the oil pan!
Uncle Petey - for calling me a real me-CH-an-ick!
and if ya didn't see it! Billy B. even got dirty on this job! - Thanks for the help with the power steering pump!
and Bobby Pease - for the suspension tips ;)
...and by the way, if I did forget anyone, I'm sorry!!!!
This just goes to show you what kind of people NEETS drivers really are. We got more help and more tools from so many people, and just about anyone who walked by offered up some kind of help, whether it was tools or parts or a hand. The job got done~! In timely racer fashion as well, just before the race!
The motor ran great from what Erin told me, the smoke cleared up by the end of the race, felt real powerful, too! Watch out guys, she'll be doing a lot better at the next race, I promise you! Once the motor gets broken in, and the truck is tuned up a bit...she'll be racing with the best!
It comes down to this...everything came together just when we needed it to. Erin was so happy that she got to race this weekend, I can't believe this whole plan worked out! Thank you's go out to to everyone that helped out. This wouldn't have happened without each and every one of you guys and gal! Thank you.
Thank you.
