Sorry to hear the "Thing" won't be on the salt Elmer err Skip.   :-)

Glad to hear the cooling system works well though....

So that’s my new nickname, Elmer-err?  Kinda grows on you  :-D

And yes the cooling system is awesome.

You also have a successful SW.

See you at Elmo in September 8-)

Hi Skip

Did something go bang you could not fix in time for SW, that is a tough nut

We've got the new car blues is all. Still sorting out the chassis. Skip engineered in lots of adjustment into the car. Just gotta find the right combo that makes it happy. And no, no bangs. Despite having lots and LOTS of hp on tap, I didn't have to tune it super aggressively to get there. It fires up and purrs like a street car motor and is very docile.... until the boost comes in. We're hoping for some better runs at el mirage and are looking to change the score with those geese guys.  :-D :evil:

  Skip, be warned!  Those nicknames can be hard to shake.
  I know I have told this story before but when Marlo gave me my moniker many years ago, we were fighting a seemingly impossible to solve bearing issues with my Early Olds.
  A few years later and having solved the problem I actually made three passes at the same meet!  Eureka!!!
  So I approach Marlo and asked if I was now "Three Run" Bob, and he says "Sorry, nicknames earned in LSR are FOR LIFE!
                                                                            Ol' One Run.............................. out...................... :-P :roll: :-P

Three run, how many times has that happened since you did it once in a row?  :-D

Are you bringing the car to any of the Sep meets or are paying down your sponsor a little this year  :roll:
:cheers:
