New engine, New Best
Had a great time at LVD today. 
My day started out good and got progressivly better.Started with a new best, and got better from there.
First run with this engine, and it's been a year since I've driven the car.
First run ran a 12.06 @ 111mph
Car was loading and unloading the tires for the first 60' give or take.
Blew the alt. water pump off at the end of the track.
Put the belt back on, got her cooled off tweaked the rear shocks, and went at it again.
Second run, 11.84 @ 113, Hee Haw, were cooking now. Literally. Blew the belt off again.
First round of eliminations. Car hooked real good and I knew it was going to run better than my dial in.
Watched the mirror and saw where the other car was and I took my foot off the throttle, and then back in. I had to burn some of the time off.
I should have just tapped the brake.
I lost but the car ran an 11.83 @ 109 Blew the belt off AgAiN
My 1/8th mile time was .10 quicker than the 10.84 run.
I had a Great Day.

LOL
It's not mine.
Mine, remarkably stayed on the engine. Stuck behind the pullies.
I pulled over on the return road, and put it back on. The last time it happened it was easier to put back on, as I had thrown the wrenches in the car
I want to get a set of deep groove pullies, move the alt closer to the crank, and realign everything.
