Wilmington in September
« on: September 08, 2012, 11:57:03 AM »
 I will be at the track for the September meet. If anyone needs some help I will be available. I have 30+ years of blown fuel drag racing experience and can handle most any task, high or low pressure. Supercharged vehicles are my preference, but it's not necessary.   JC Sparks

Welcome, JC.  You'll enjoy it, for sure.  I'll be running but my near stock Diesel truck doesn't need much of a pit crew.  Pretty much just start it and drive it down the track.  It IS turboed, though.

JC, you will be more than welcome in our pits! We're pretty green on the injection, and the altitude is WAY lower than I'm used too!

Hey 38, I saw your deal on the salt last month. I know the guy from Ohio that was there helping you. We both raced on a alcohol funny car circuit in the early 80's.  JC

Yea, Mark's our crew chief, and he'll be there too! Come on over- we'll have more beer than we will have injector sense!

  A victory beer if we cross the line under power I can drink to that. Our plan is to arrive in town on Thursday we will set up our pit on Friday and then help with inspections for part of the day. I look forward to seeing the Flatcad in person all the work you have into the project is just amazing.
