Yall already know how much I enjoyed Sick Week last January. Although we had many issues with Billy’s 55, the comradery made the trip so much fun.
So many people stopped to help or ask if we needed parts. So this week while the Hot Rod Drag Week event was going on at our local track, I had an opportunity to pay back the generosity when Charlie Kay from Brooklyn New York broke down in Columbus on his way back from Michigan.
His Big Block Monte Carlo broke a shaft rocker arm and Charlie needed it replaced asap.
With Jegs showing “out of stock” Charlie felt he was completely “out of luck” but thanks to some of his fellow competitors, he was able to get in touch with me. Thanks to our stash of spare rocker arms, I thought I had what he needed. But after driving his 540ci Big Block Chevy over 200 miles with a broken rocker arm, I wasn’t sure the lifter and push rod would be reusable.
Charlie was sitting in 3rd place going into the final day. So, OMG to the rescue!
