Joe, thanks for all your help this weekend. Also great job staging me and pushing me at the start. That Chevy truck of yours got the Stude out of the hole good.
Tell Tom it was nice meeting him as well,
Oh for the RECORD... the shakedown run was 158.6xxx and it did set the record 18mph over the previous record
(oh the Little "E" motor has more in it.)
On the next run after the lunch break it was much hotter, Joe your push was even better and between the 5/8 mile bump and the 3/4 mile mark, my GPS read 166 mph and charging,, then the throttle cable broke and whew !!! what a unexpected rush when the butterfly snapped closed like that,,, well the chute did it job and I pulled to the right out of the race groove and took short shutdown (I had no idea what happend till I got out of the car and looks things over)
I was pissed,, a $1 part cost me a 170+ run.. oh well that's racing.
Thanks to all the track crews and volunteers. Also Thanks John Shell, Hooley Huffman, Eric (racer X) Terry Russell and Lawson, and Joe and Tom Daly,
My crew was back at the RCR and Rod Crafters car show and open house, and all these guys above stepped up to help me,, Thanks.
See you all in October,,
Charles
