A sad day...
 

The car is in the garage, winterized. Racing season's over. :(

At least it has a nice place to rest for winter.

Look forward to the first pass in spring, Doesn't the car feel much faster when you can finally get to use it again? :twisted:

Mikel,
Saw how your car lifts on laonch... Looks like the suspension is dialed in great...

You have to take that apart for osmething don't ya Mikel? Valve cover bolw out?

-k

Yep, I'm pretty happy with that. On the launch, the rear end dips a very tiny bit then rises up and whole lot. I guess that pushes the rear tires down, just like it's supposed to. It felt weird the first few times, like it was just standing up. But I'm used to it now.

Where'd ya see it?

I just pulled the valve covers off, there's a whole lot of water in there. The heads don't look like there's any cracks, but I guess just looking really doesn't tell me anything. I'm gonna pull the intake off and see if the RTV seals front and rear failed. I had to remove the cork gaskets, the intake wouldn't sit right with the milled heads. I'm hoping that's what it is. If not, the heads are coming off for a look at the head gaskets.

Here's two shots of the car launching:

I'm having this one blown up to 8x10, one for office wall and one for this past weekend's sponsor.

Thats the shot I saw it in Mikel, lifting real nice! In all 4s.. Springs are working :)

So Mikel, Any progress on the water situation?

Nope, haven't had a chance to look at anything, yet. Probably after the holidays.

Checkout the attached pic, BTW. Reminds me of the good ol' days, before there was coolant in my oil. ;-)
