He has a race this weekend and providing engine is in 1 piece it goes on the boat for the US. I am planning to pick it up mid August to ensure it is here on time.

I have pictures of all his certifications and in the middle of contacting both KCIR and NHRA to ensure he will be legal to race.

I will also be contacting wednesday when the holiday is over a customs broker to be sure we have all the paperwork in order for it's arrival and departure to/from US.

Anybody on here a customs broker, or know of one? Looks like truck will be sent to Virginia S/N Carolina area.

This is a big expense for Robert. I am helping all that I can with paperwork for this side, transporting his truck to from nats, ports etc. He is spending a fair amount of cash himself to be able to bring this truck over.

We are hoping some others will show up also so we can have a good matchup and friendly challenge.

The paypal is still open if anybody wants to help Robert offset his costs. Currently we are at $400 in donations, any donation over $40 Robert is hand delivering a t-shirt to

robert@jsmanufacturing.com

or you can mail me a check to

Jeff Scott
9 laurel drive
jeffersonville, IN 47130

Will we see a side by side 8 second pass with Robert and the Hoovers??????????????

Will Ed find out what roads lead to KC?

Badnews come out of hiding?

Jason take his truck down the track for first time?

Hopefully some of these guys hiding behind a keyboard will come out.

Re: It's OFFICIAL Robert is coming

Things are getting closer. Working through all the customs stuff now (that is fun if you have not done it).

We have figured out how to make Roberts truck 100% street legal while he is here also (again not easy task) It should be fun. Truck should be enroute in 2 weeks.

I also caught wind last night another owner who has not posted here much is now coming to nats to race robert. If the times I heard are correct this is going to be a killer race.

So we have

Hoovers
Badnews
Robert
"un-named sy owner"

all very capable and impressive trucks

and some of you guys want to sit home and keep typing away at the keyboard............

Truckless. For now.
Re: It's OFFICIAL Robert is coming

Awesome! I picked a good year to make my first Nats.

Jeff, I'll be sending my $50 donation towards Roberts expenses next week (after payday) along with my old Ty license plate for your collection. :tup:

This is gonna be a killer Nats :cool:

If I don't buy gas for the Ty for the rest of the summer, I can probably afford a ticket down for Nationals...
It's tempting.

What does that involve?

Someone needs to take vids and pics for those who can't be there!

Re: It's OFFICIAL Robert is coming

Nah nothing that hard or illegal. Jeff with help from some OG SyTy'er found away for it to be here and legally be driven on the street, for up to a year or something close to it. No it would not be here that long.

Jeff might not ever have a running truck of his own again, but he is worth something to the SyTy community!!!!!!

Re: It's OFFICIAL Robert is coming

Good news, just got the EPA approval step done. Well Robert just has to sign it and return to EPA. 1 down 10 to go. That is the hardest step to make street legal for his visit. But 1st step as need it to move to next step.

Also talked to Robert this morning again. He put a new device on his truck. I won't say what it is but he did first street test this weekend. His response over the phone was classic. Picture a heavy swedish accent going "O MY GOD!"

Re: It's OFFICIAL Robert is coming

hmmmmmmmmm...........very interesting! Will Ed make it down? Will Mike Lee? You know, I haven't heard anything from WindedV6 in awhile..... :LURK:

on a side note Jeff....if a competitor makes it down there and is NOT NHRA-compliant, will they/you be kicking them off the track? Will they have TECHS there scoping it out? If so, I need to get a cage in ASAFP!
