Isn't the correct name for that "A good run of bad luck"?

Hot rodding and racing is fun ain't it?

I'll share some pain with you.

Built an 8000 rpm 327. Baaaaaad-ass right? Well, wanted to move the power curve a little further up. Retarded the cam timing 4 degs. Got everything installed and ready just in time for Super Chevy (Gainesville, Nov. 04). Motor made 9 passes. 1st round, won the round, locked up the motor in the lights. Exhaust valve marks on all 8 cylinders. Broke #5 exhaust valve at 7500 rpm's. Didn't re-measure piston to valve clearance.

Ain't planning on changing hobbies anytime soon. Got a feeling you ain't either.

Good luck with the truck.
