In allegedly unrelated news, the Kondolay’s are in a mad thrash this week repairing the wounded bullet from the dragster. The mill had lost some of it’s grunt, and after tearing the heads off, they found it had been bitten by some FOD (Foreign Object Damage).  They found damage caused by a chunk of 1/8″ allen key that—after bouncing around beating the bejesus out of everything—eventually lodged into the deck of the cylinder head.

To be clear, there is no proof that Hampton is actually responsible for hucking an allen key down the throat of the big block, but lets face it; it was an Allen key. Not a Jim key. Not a Steve key. Not an anybody-else-that-is-not-named-allen key.

So please, dragster drivers: be on the look out for disgruntled guy who appears to be smuggling bacon across his forehead. It just might be the Dragster Slayer looking for another victim.

You’ve been warned.

UPDATE: The trailer has been FOUND! Mundy’s Towing found the trailer this morning behind some warehouses in Lake City. Of course, it had been stripped BARE of everything except the Vega’s hard to replace front end. By everything, we really do mean everything: anything that could be unbolted or removed is gone; weather station, tools, pit bike, generators, spare set of wheels, racks, mounts, etc.

There is a couple of pieces of good news though. The first is the previously mentioned front end is still there. Second, the trailer is in seemingly good shape otherwise. But the best piece of news is the dip shit douche bag crooks were dumb enough to dump the thing under video surveillance cameras…  the whole thing is caught on tape. Nice!

Thanks to everyone that helped out by spreading the word.

It sucks that the first post in months is of this tone, but please keep your eyes open for Ron MacKenzie’s enclosed trailer. Some douche bags (or maybe just one lone scum sucking douche bag) just stole his 20′ enclosed. Luckily, his Vega wasn’t in it, but spare parts, loads of his tools and the car’s font end were.

UPDATE: Trailer has #6350 decals and, as posted on teammission.com: Please be on the lookout for 20 ft white pacific trailer. Two honda invertor gens a 1000 and 3000. Also blue fiberglass front end for 77 vega.
