Getting ready for Bonneville(rebuild)

[bvillercr]

Still a bit windy with a 60% chance of the wet stuff, no clouds in the sky at this time in Wendover.  No real huury to get on the salt yet, be out there probably after 9. 

[bvillercr]

We got through inspection with a breeze, not much of a wait and the ran down to get gas.  Just a drop
or two and very little wind.  Well get in line in the morning after the drivers meeting and who knows when well run.  Maybe tomorrow but most likely Saturday.  I'll keep everyone updated.

Believe me, so do I Fred!

8:23AM    About 60F and no wind but I'd consider this excellent to run but rather cold as compared to normal

We made first shake down run about an hour ago, 2 1/4 speed of 243.747 first mile 258.881 middle we shut down 3/4 of the way through do to two header pipes breaking and we still went 286.367mph.  We are welding the pipes up now and will run again tomorrow with a leaner tune.   

[bvillercr]

A little update.  We had to take off the other header as well.  It would have broke on the next run, next meet we will need new zoomies.  We will put the headers back on in the morning and give it another go.

We started it up a few minutes ago and found out we spun the key way off the crank pulley.  We will fix it and run later in the day.  I guess that's what 36lbs of boost will do to it.

[bvillercr]

We are headed toward salt lake to Chapman racing heads for a head job I mean valve replacement/valve job on both heads.  Should be racing again tomorrow.

[bvillercr]

We ordered all new valves.  3 intake and 3 exhaust valves were bent so we over nighted all new stuff.  The heads will be done tomorrow around noon.  Should be racing on Wednesday.

Good luck
