Yep remember when a friend of mine lent his car and the dude ran regular leaded gas through it and then didn't even tell him. The car began to overheat ... engine light came on thankfully or he would have cooked the engine. Your right as far as the altering of the
Hydrocarbon absorbing pellets , remember quite a few R&R covert operations within that regard lol .  Wink

Heck , still snowing here too Girly.... nothing like good Ole Lake Effect Snow Flurries ! Hope you get in touch with your fellow Ohioians lol !

I don't have the phone number anymore...I think when I got my new phone, it didn't get transferred. I'm gonna try to find their phone number today. Does anyone remember where it was? Was it Franklin OH or Franklin County? I don't remember.

Im sure its Franklin ,OH, which is Warren Co.. Its right on I-75 near Dayton/ Kings Island Amusement Park
It's also very near  Middletown  I know as Mark and i talked about when we used to go  to Americana Amusement park when our kids were younger.Its the same exit as we used to take to go there and still use to go to Kings Island/the Beach i just cant recall the exit  #.

I cant recall their last names or id look myself. I am more thana tad concerned personally.

Personally I used to use a piece of  steel rebar we put a wood handle on to save your hands. We called it "rodding" the converter. Took a lot of thought to come up with that name LOL Grin

Yeah I think your correct Blu Franklin Ohio ! The last message I received from Mark (Time really Flys) was Jan 7th last yr. lol. He was mentioning then that his computer was acting up and to let the gang know. But then I saw him on the Forum after that I believe ? It would be nice to hear that alls well from either Erin or Mark. Oh well at least were still thinking of them lol .  Wink

Kind of on this topic, instead of using a restrictor plate, why don't they just use a bigger scoop on the back of the car for those tracks?  The idea is to keep the cars going slower but I would think the scoop would keep the car down as well.  They could also put a small one on the roof.
