Yep, that is what I sent in and I only posted what corporate sent back.
Someone with a higher pay grade tells me what to do.

Randy,
Attached is the e-mail I sent the boss.
Guess he made a management decision.

I think it is either Randy or Daniel
I don't have access to my list or the Hot Rod site at the moment.

Oh well ... This engine was finished 2 years ago. Changing head gaskets and an intake manifold doesn't take very long.

Talking today with the guy who does the major fabricating for me: He needs a month to get me a finished Sheet Metal tunnel ram for my "POLY" engine. I am still waiting for other parts so, that will be impossible.

I bought an aluminum single 4 barrel, 2 plane manifold today and it is on the way ... $150.00 shipping & handling charge for sending this aluminum manifold; on top of the charge of $615.00 intake manifold price.

At least it is less expensive than that sheet metal tunnel ram would have been.

I think you can adapt Chevy LS manifolds to the Poly

Is that the Super Pac Poly manifold that came out recently? If so I have tested with it. J.Rob

Let's all pray for our good friends at SAM in Houston. I know many of their homes are flooded and not sure about the school. I don't think that the EMC is a top priority for them right now but I hope they find a way to come and compete. I have really enjoyed my time with Judson and his guys. Kaase

YES ... Chrysler Power is calling it their SS-X manifold.

All those people down in southeastern Texas have a hardship that I can't even begin to imagine. I sure hope they get through it all with as little demolition as possible.

We're down in Victory Tx. working the harvey Storm. Told us we are not going to Houston. Think we may be heading to Corpus Christi in a couple of days. Hope the EMC builds are coming along, hate we are not going this year. Best of luck to everyone.. Joe C

Joe,
Glad to hear you AEP linemen are on the job. I just got notification that one of our EMC participants has been flooded out and will not make it.
Such a tragedy for so many people.
Be careful and God bless you and the others on the rescue and repair crews.

It is now official.
The Randy Malik EMC drama is over.
I have just received notification from the Hot Rod Corp office.
As alternate #3 Performance Specialists has been added to the run order to replace another team that has withdrawn.
Congratulations Randy!
Looking forward to seeing all 3 of your teams at EMC.

"Total Performance" was the company sponsoring my alternate entry.

That's the engine which is finished; the others are in the final works.

Adger,Do you have any alternates for Vintage class?

The vintage class has no alternates,
It started out with 10 and has shrunk down to 8.
If the Dyno schedule I have proposed gets accepted the Vintage
Class will be all run out on Wednesday afternoon & Traditional Muscle will be over on Thursday.
We have scheduled 14 to be run in the Traditional Muscle class.
We started out with 4 alternates for the Traditional Muscle.
We now have one alternate left for the Traditional Muscle class.
If anyone is not going to attend that has been accepted please notify me.
If you are in the "might not make it" category please notify me.
Thanks,
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the AmsOil EMC.

\when is the dyno schedule due ?
