I heard(could be wrong) that El mirage had 16 spins ??? :roll:

You heard wrong, there were 6, however there were a bunch close to spinning as the track was junk, why wern't you there.

Nice talking with you John!  Did the CEL come back on during the trip home?  If so, I can program that out by loosening up the parameters.

Didn't go as fast as I hoped, it was kind of embarrassing going slower with the bigger engine.  I know it is capable of making more HP than the 403ci engine on the dyno, but I suppose dirt <> dyno ...

Everything was great and you will figure out the fueling issues on your rig I am sure.  :cheers:

John, Mike -
Educate me - what's the issue with these side windows in an altered class?

I believe they must be in the stock location. They do not need to "roll up or down" and can be permanently attached lexan (polycarbonate sp?) or stock.

These appear to be outside of the original position which is allowed in Comp Coupe but not in altered as I read the rules. I like you are only looking at the picture...........Good Luck

That's the only picture I could find from last weekend.

It appears, that the glass has brackets holding it in the window opening and that the "glass" is on an outer step, perhaps .5" outboard rather that in the stock position???

If so, should be an easy fix.

Yup, you guys figured it out.  Windows don't meet ALT rule specs.  As for next year, I'm pretty sure that motor is now no longer legal.  Heard Pete was going to build one that was but we'll have to see how well the new legal one compares to the old one.

..nice job Shane on your "elmo best licensing pass"....should be fun
next year to see you make a true best attempt.....


I do not know the time of his last pass as I left right after round three, but I thought his last pass he was allowed to open it up. In round three as he left the line the announcer said he had to keep it under 200 mph. So, his fourth round pass should of been unrestricted??
