Thanks Fred, our pits should be fairly close to the pit entrance on the long course side; would be great to meet you too. |

Well I cant seem to get it to open. I had the same problem with the default windows media player. Download VLC media player it plays almost everything, they do a good job of keeping it up to date. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/Larry |

Thanks PJ, Bvillercr didn't show wsa the truck stuffed to the gills in front of the trailer, loading the car was the easy part, took most of the day on truck  Just got to load chairs behind car--suitcases in front and ice in the cooler  Never ever been ready this early  Or spent so many inflated bucks, SCTA stuff-- Lexan windows all around--Hans device--rear electric shutoff, Latches for side windows New top fuel style pitons and rings new rods and rebalance-- new heads and valve springs- new porting and valve job--new sleeves and bore job ---all new bearings.

John and Troy,
You have a complete new piece under the hood with only some shop running, what is your plan with the engine before you get serious? I'm sure that you don't plan to just stand on it.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Like the "tat".
Rex

Rex...The plan is to load it some in 2nd or 3rd gear and shut down, then look at data logger and adjust.
see you there...JL222

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy $hit, what a ride!"

A little update. Inspection line was long, we got into line at 1 and out by 4.  Our car at the end of the line.  A nice sunrise leaving Wendover for the salt.  A photo of the drivers meeting before racing can start.  As for our car.... We did a tuning pass... We were going to make a 1 1/2-2 squirt to get a good 3rd gear pull and shut off. The car hauled some donkey, but when JL222 shifted into 3rd he didn't lift on the throttle and spun out about the 3/4 mark and eventually taking out the mile marker.  On our data logger indicated that the car was going about 220 when it spun, that was the only good news. The front end alignment may be toe out a little so we are going to check that out today and run after it's fixed. |
