Thumbs up Hey Sleestack?

Sleestack,
I was at EVOsport this week and saw your engine block.
Man that is one nice engine block. The cylinder sleeves are very impressive.
That is going to be one awesome engine. Can’t wait to see pictures of the pistons.
Just thought I'd let you and the others know that there really is a block waiting for you! Hope it gets put together for the summer events!
Tim

Sleestack, when your 430 died, you said you couldn't talk about it until everything got straightened out. Can you tell the story now? I've been waiting months to hear.

I think you're right Tango. It's public knowledge what started Sleestack's second round of tuning.

pigman, did you mean to ask Timster?

Not long after he got his 430 Kleemanized a year ago, he said it would be out of commission for a while after an accident but he couldn't tell the story at the time because of insurance company issues.

Sheesh, you'd think Kleeman folks like Ben would know about it instead of thinking I was talking about Timster or on chronic.

I thought you meant Timster (after reading Tango's suggestion), because he made that statement after his HPS situation.

Sleestack's car was involved in an accident about 8 months ago, and has not been driven since. It won't see the streets until it is ready to annihiliate every car around it!

Sorry guys. Away for the weekend. I got into an accident about a year ago. At the time, I didn't want to talk about it on the forum because it was being reviewed by insurance and liability issues had not yet been finally determined. There isn't much to tell. I got cut off, pulled into a lane full of stopped cars and squeezed my brakes. There wasn't enough room to stop and it was a downhill grade so I ended up hitting another car. Nobody was hurt.

Good to hear. That's the important part. It's probably also a blessing if that's what prompted this current round of modding.

Could a shotgun have helped in this case?
