To borrow a phrase from Phil  "Happy, Happy, Happy"   AIR---just double wow to get the exhaust to JOIN the vortex tube is just amazing to me

Hey Rob

Shorten up the gear and run that beauty at Elmo in the Nov meet, lot easer to clean off lakes dust than salt

If it is promising you could run a few meets next spring and get it sorted out before Speedweek

Just a thought

DND, the thing is at El Mo  they will have to go through the whole driver license program. On a good day two runs, it's a 2 day meet so maybe 4 runs total if the wind and dust doesn't shorten the meet. Thats a long way to tow for maybe's.

At least he could put his foot in it and not have to light foot it like now on a Airport runway

Need to gas it up and see what it does good or bad, and start tuning it in for a serious race car

I think I'd bet on being able to stop on a mile of asphalt than a mile of loose dirt.

DND, your attitude would have you looking down the barrel

of a gun to see if the bullet comes out the first time you pull the trigger.

They built it and they know what they need to learn about it.

Don't be confused..........it is a race car.

Tuning isn't the problem. It's them little SOBs called "GREMLINS" they need to get rid of. Keep at it guys. Can't wait to see it run.

Life is an abrasive. Whether you get ground away or polished to a shine depends on what you are made of.

Next years list includes-
1) work on thermal management ( double insulate anything that can ignite)
2) build spare engine
3) expand secondary chute box a bit.
4) run the car on chassis Dyno
5) build new rear fairings (maybe)
6) move outrigger on trailer
7) rebuild transmission in Denali

Aside from these items we should have an easy year in 2014.
