    Iran

    The easiest video I could find from someone who actually has been there, take it as you will. Scotty from CR also said something similar on social media and he's been over there a few times. If you look around on Facebook you'll see photos and videos that talk about the IEDs that Iran developed that killed/injured our troops. War isn't something that sane or logical people want and hopefully this little dust up has run its course. What's not blowing up on social media is the fact that Iran accidentally shot down a civilian aircraft during their little show, from the Ukraine none the less. The conspiracy people are fapping hardcore to that one right now you can bet on that.

    Iran

    Thanks! It really is fun to see people melting down of this, like it brings me serious joy to see all of these people on their high horses telling me things. Seriously doe, there's nothing cool about a game of chicken with things that go boom. There's so many layers to this deal that pinning it all on taking out that general isn't true. The proxy war with Iran has been going on for a long time in different countries. The fact that people who actually have been in conflict over there have stated knocking that guy off was a good thing is all I need to know, the propaganda and media BS is just entertainment. What's going to be interesting is the next move that's made by both sides.

    This is what I heard from someone who I would consider an informed source (retired Navy SEAL). I'm just enjoying the triggered people screaming on both sides all over social media.

    Gun goals 2020

    Not sure if I'll make any purchases this year as far guns go. I plan on spending my firearms budget more for ammo so I can just get range time in. If I get some extra cash I will purchase an AR/AK hybrid.
  6. Didn't know that about Jasper, will keep in mind for sure.
  7. Pace, Jegs, or Scoggin Dickey will be your best bet for that type of crate engine. Jasper and Blueprint also will have what you need I think since you're not looking for monster power. I've only worked with Scoggin Dickey on a professional level and they've been great. I know a lot of people go through Pace as well, plus they're based in Ohio so you can go pick the engine up. If you want to save cash hit up O'Doyle on here and see if he can get you a deal at Jegs.
  8. There will still be plenty of digital content, just no print, and I think you'll see TEN die eventually.
  9. From what I heard this weekend it's not a good situation over there at TEN at all. It sounds like there are going to be a lot of cuts and other changes. The other thing I found out is that each magazine won't be getting its own website, everything is going to get run through the " Hot Rod Mega-Site".
  10. Yes, it has built-in MAP and ITA sensors, it's cable driven, and it has O2 sensor.
  11. The guys from Holley really liked it, now I have to do the ignition article. Hopefully next year we can get out with the car more and get the tune dialed in.
  12. This summer we converted Rick's dragster from carb to EFI using a Holley Sniper system. It was a learning experience and a lot of fun. https://www.dragzine.com/tech-stories/efi-swapping-a-dragster-with-a-holley-sniper-stealth-4500-part-1/
  13. I'm guessing they will stick you with a subscription to either Hot Rod or Motortrend. When they screwed everyone before that's what they did.
  14. Digitial media is far from safe as well due to social media and things like YouTube. If you're putting out junk content you won't be around these days.
  15. A lot of us knew it was coming, it was just a matter of when the axe was going to fall. The stories I've hears about Source/TEN this doesn't shock me at all. They've struggled with digital as well so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. Dave Freiburger: Today is a day we’ve all dreaded. With the exception of Motor Trend, Hot Rod, and Four Wheeler, TEN Publishing will cease the print products of its magazine brands. These titles will continue as web sites and social media accounts, and the editors may keep their jobs to continue with that content. As a lifelong fan of print who made his career as a magazine editor, this is a devastating heartbreak of a day—but not a surprise. 19 magazines will stop being printed. I am impressed at the offers that Discovery has made to the remaining magazine editors, as this closure of print was not a decision made by Discovery.
  16. So much to unpack here.... It has a positive message, I get it, but some of these people are a bit fucked mate.... Link only since there's a whole lot of NWS stuff going on.
  17. So the company I work for is producing another show called The Junkyard Challenge. It's like our $10K Drag Shootout but with trucks and offroad stuff. The first episode just dropped and I can't wait to see how this series goes. From what I have heard the jump contest at the end is just nuts. https://www.horsepowerwars.com/horsepower-wars/junkyard-challenge-ep-1-meet-the-players-trucks-competition/
  18. I find that starting the conversation with "listen mother fucker I'm not afraid to go back to prison" helps in situations like this... Seriously doe, just fight their BS lawyer stuff and they will submit.
  19. How's he doing since the accident? I know the UFC did a video story on it but haven't heard much since.
  20. Take a rolling chassis and turn it into a race car by the time tracks open.
  21. Thanks, at least I have a baseline now. I want to get back into shooting more so this purchase might be what forces me to do it.
