Rev and Doc, not to worry, I can see by your posts you merely have the addiction that must be fed. Rev, you expressed it very well, this can and does consume you. People that have done this for a long time feel your pain, we went raceless in 82-83 and again in 93-94. The craving for going fast can be all consuming, especially if you build from scratch and want to see what you ended up with. Committing to this adventure is a way of life, you will never stop thinking of things to try to go faster.
But that is LSR and luckily this website helps a lot of us get to the next race.
Your build has helped show a lot of folks that it can be done, and given a lot of folks the opportunity to share experience and experiences. If you can't race this year, you will have an easy prep for next year, unless of course you dig back in and decide to change things that you feel you can improve. We had the car ready to race in 93, when the race was cancelled, we spent the week taking the car apart, changed, fixed, painted and updated. Got it back together for 94, then found the races were canceled a couple of days before, so we tore back into the car and changed a few more things. In 95, about 6 years after our first run over 200, we put Johnboy (speedlimit 1000) in the club at 221 with a 1 liter fuel motor. As I have said in previous posts, this sport takes patients
(often mental patients)
to continue. Yea, I spelled it wrong on purpose, because we have the sickness that keeps us doing this year after year, success or failure. Yep, you got it too, I can tell
