JoshC 05-31-2002, 09:46 AM Good luck Abba! I can't wait to congratulate you!
BTW... Did you read my post on how I spanked that Lavender Bros rig on the mini rubicon with my little old POS Scout? You should really be able to kick ass there!
Monkeyboy 05-31-2002, 09:47 AM Only international???

Abba's been keeping a low profile online lately (really busy) But, yeah, I pointed it out to him. He's really pretty pissed about it because the rules for TTC say that once everyone was slected and notified they were not to do any preruns at Hollister, or they would face disqualification. If you guys have pics . . . ;)
But, we're so ready to kick some serious ass anyway. His turd has been ready for a couple of weeks now, but we keep working on small things to tweak it out. He's gonna spank those runs and make 'em look easy.
Bad thing is none of us have portable computers for updates. I'm not sure if Abba has any of your guys' numbers or not so shoot them to me so we can atleast keep you all updated by voice :)

Bring the pics when you sneak over. I'll be the crybaby and show them to the judges :D :D
Curtis 06-01-2002, 05:49 AM Well, we're ready for it. We just have a few small tweaks to make tomorrow and then pack it up. I also have to rip my hubs and rotors off mine for spares just incase.
On thing is this. Abba has had virtually no luck with any of the shops around here. He orders parts and they never show, show up as the wrong parts or show up way late. He has someone make him a soft top that is a pile of total shit, AND this guy drove his Scout around town without turning on the fans. This feat created one of the things we have to tweak in the morning (oh, later today). He orders a spare tranny and the guy totally flakes on him so no spare tranny. The guy that was going to install the special stuff backed out, but the good news is I figured out how to hook it up so it's going on today. People say they'll show and help but never show up. I was too sick most of the time with my crap that I couldn't help as much as I wanted to. People are bitching about it saying they'll just be happy when it is over. Oh, the beadlocks that were ordered months ago were put on last weekend after Abba made them himself using RockStomper stuff. Phil, Silly, bent up a perfect front loop for Abba's cage so he was great. We should have taken him up on his offer for help a long ass time ago. He deserves a kudos.
Anyway, all in all it's been down right crappy for him so far instead of it being to completely fun prep it should have been. But, oh well. It's done and we'll be down there Sunday evening to be ready to roll Monday. He's gonna GIT IT!!!
JoshC 06-01-2002, 07:55 AM Wow. That's a bunch of weird shite? Anyhow, You guys will appreciate the win all the better! Just drive smart and fix quick... Oh, and the snorkel intake. Don't forget to breathe!
SSGTWC 06-01-2002, 08:04 AM Go kick some A$$ ABBA :D

Yeah, I feel bad I have not been able to contribute to the cause. If the dam deal would have waited another week, I'd be there with you guys. I'm serious, if you guys break something and it's going to be a long night of repairs call. I'll pull an all nighter get'n the Binder running.
Joe
Curtis 06-01-2002, 01:45 PM Cool guys. Thanks :) Does Abba have your numbers so we can call ya if we have to?
jdjanda 06-01-2002, 01:58 PM He should, talked to him on Thursday. If you guys need anything stop by on the way down.

Chad H 06-02-2002, 11:06 PM Good Luck Alvaro ;)
