While the heads were being massaged I kept busy by putting the lettering on.  We will put the engine back together today, then pack the truck and start the car tomorrow....well that's the plan for now.  |

They were lookin' stout in tech.
Sounds like they were ready when the storm came.
The paint certainly stands out.

Thanks Frued, we plan to wait for the #1 course to open up in the morning and do a tuning pass to the 2. Then make an effort at a record pass. |

Update from yesterday: we got in line around 11 and it took 3 hours to get to the front!! We then proceeded to start the engine but the batteries that we charged the day before had lost it's charge!!! No bueno to start the engine. So we pulled out of line ran into the Mayors office(carquest) and bought two new batteries. So today we will try to get a tuning pass in and a real attempt later in the day. Sure glad we have a week of racing. |

Yesterday we did a tuning pass and learned a few things. First the pass: it was a very mild run, 10% throttle about 6 lbs of boost. We hit about 200 and shut it down before the 2. Two mile time was around 156. We also learned that the tire company didn't balance the rear tires properly and the vibration was something of concern, so we took them off headed to Wendover and got them taken care of. Lastly the windows still want to blow out!! Especially the left side, so we braced both windows again, we can't pull them out now!! Today we will lay down a good pass in a couple hours from now. |
