drs88,
            I have been gonna call you but have lost your number. PM your number if you would. Or E-mail Hhardheaded@sbcglobal.net

I don't think 300 is on the table but would like to go faster. Sumner is going to drive this year. while doing his license passes he will get a feel for the new arrangement and data on  the engine. By the time he is ready to go fast we should have the tune right.  I have started the engine assembly but are waiting on pistons and cam.

Please help, I don't even know what page 3 is.   After posting, I know what page 3 is. Thanks for the help

Back to the shop,
Hooley

I E-mailed it. Car is looking good. I am still going hard on the Roadster. Work has killed me this year with traveling but I am still trying for Speedweek. Let just say I didn't pre enter it but if I make it what's another $200.00

Hooley, I'm glad you're making such great progress!

I'm looking forward to seeing you on the salt, and meeting Sumner!

I've added some more pages to Hooley's build for this year.....

http://purplesagetradingpost.com/sumner/Hooley%202013/13%20-%20construction%20menu.html


He is way ahead of me in that he has a lot more work finished vs. what I have documented so far so keep checking the link above for updates and we will keep posting here.

Here are a couple teasers...











The additional Innovate data logging components have been ordered from DIYAutotune and hopefully we will be able to hook most of that up when I see Hooley in a couple weeks.  We will be data logging about 16 channels if all of that works out.

Hooley has the framework for the vertical stabilizers for the wing done and a wing mounted to them.  He has also done a lot of work to the back of the car  and completed almost all of the turbo plumbing to the intercoolers and from them to the hat on the carb and much more,

Sumner, I just went through everything on your website.

It looks like you guys are making even more progress than I had imagined. It's looking great.

Good luck!

Thanks, but I don't know about "you guys"  :wink:.  I was there for just a couple days so it has been all Hooley. 

Ruth and I will be leaving Florida soon after working a couple months on our boat here.  Then we will stop at Hooley's on the way home to help a little.  I do have my work cut out for me with some of the car parts that have to be made that I'll do at my house.  As you know John is about done with your car and then will start on the body work on the extended nose so he will be very busy on the car.

I'll try and get more of Hooley's work posted over the next week or so,

Thanks for the welcome back guys!!  After missing Speed Week for the first time in years last year it will be good to be going back.  Ruth is excited also!

 Hooley mentioned me driving the car.  Just to be clear on that, I'd love to get some license runs in and such, but the car comes first.  If we get there and weather is coming in and it is questionable on how many days we will be racing we will be concentrating on getting the car and the driver ready for the long course as quick as possible and that would mean that I'd put off driving for a while.

There are a lot of changes to the car with the longer wheelbase, wing and going to a much larger turbo motor so there will be a lot to sort out on the salt this year which should be fun.  We do have a history of breaking some part and late night runs to SLC to machine shops and such but hope to not get in that scenario this time,

I've finally gotten around to adding a couple more pages of what Hooley has done but I'm still behind him in posting pictures.  We hope to be out of Florida Monday and on our way to see him. 

There is a new page with...



... some info on the 4 wastegates...

http://purplesagetradingpost.com/sumner/Hooley%202013/13%20-%20hooley-construction-2013-10.html

...and a page with...



...the intercooler plumbing from the turbo compressors and then from the intercooler to the hat....

He has been busy with a lot more!!
