Anyone going? I'll be there. Just loaded the 'Ol Girl up.

 

Have fun Dan.
What about May 1st or will you be into the motor by then?

 

Chances are.... I'll be into the motor thru the 1st, unless I get lucky and finish sooner. Not that it's a real big deal, I just have to find the time to do it.

 

I checked a few things, took it for a spin and loaded it back in the trailer. We are going out for dinner with my wife's family after racing. They live close to Lebanon Valley so that is where I am going. I do like Island on Sundays... maybe next time.

 

Real nice picture Walter

 

Thanks.

I guess I am not going to the track tomorrow...
The family dinner plans moved up.

 

Just got home from Island. Man, what a gorgeous day!
I went to a different spark plug this year and the 1st pass went like this; bog, surge, bog, surge, then it went into atrial fibrillation, I think Back in the pits, pulled a plug and it was white. Went up 4 jet sizes, front and rear and the motor came to life. Ran a 12.05, a 12.09, and a 12.07 @ 110 - 111 mph. Too bad it wasn't race day.

B3Cuda (Rich) was there with his fine lookin' '70 Cuda. Man, that 440 can motor down the track. You did a great job on the car, Rich, and it was great to meet you.

 

Yes it was nice to meet you as well, hopefully next time the car will go a bit better. I am going to try a different plug to get away from the indexing, fix my MSD box & go at it again. Hopefully next weekend.

After looking at the slip last night I need to try some different rpm on the line, the 60' didn't match the et so well. I think the car should hopefully go a 10.20 when I get the motor & suspension working better. It was tough to see the squat on the rear tires, but that it what test & tune is for.


The last pass was a 10.56 @ 125, 60' was a 1.50 & I was off the throttle a little bit & shut off early I was happy with that. Now I just need to work on those lights

They said there is at least one opening on May 12 for ATCO, if you are interested, let me know.
