We got through inspection with a breeze, not much of a wait and the ran down to get gas. Just a drop
or two and very little wind. Well get in line in the morning after the drivers meeting and who knows when well run. Maybe tomorrow but most likely Saturday. I'll keep everyone updated.

8:23AM About 60F and no wind but I'd consider this excellent to run but rather cold as compared to normal

A little update. We had to take off the other header as well. It would have broke on the next run, next meet we will need new zoomies. We will put the headers back on in the morning and give it another go.

We started it up a few minutes ago and found out we spun the key way off the crank pulley. We will fix it and run later in the day. I guess that's what 36lbs of boost will do to it.

We ordered all new valves. 3 intake and 3 exhaust valves were bent so we over nighted all new stuff. The heads will be done tomorrow around noon. Should be racing on Wednesday.
