I wish. I want to go to the Mopar show at MIR the next week. No way the Mrs will let me out 2 weekends in a row.

Jack,

I'm going. I know some of the regular Capitol Mopar points racers will be there too. Yeah, the purse is small but there will be some very cool cars there. The 422 guys always put on a wild show.

CYA Sunday.

Joe

Man are you whipped! Our junk is broken so I may just go and support Dave Reitz (running with 422) and Tom Sneden (testing his new 66 Cornet). Plus, they should have a couple of Nostalgia Nitro Funny Cars.

Great to see you guys Jack. I went red with an -.023 in the first and ran out also as I was a little slow until I bumped my timng back up as I had took it back to 35 to see how it liked it and it lost some mph. Went back up to 38-40 and it picked the mph back up. I did not think I would go as fast here as I did at Cecil 2 weeks ago but I did finally run a 10.83 @ 124 capped up as I always run it. I never did hook good as my rear tires are about shot. Ron

I struggled mightily in the beginning of the day. The car was over .60 slower than it should have been. At my friend's suggestion, I switched back over to my electric fuel pump. Things started to improve from there. For the first round of eliminations I had no idea what it would run. The fuel pump swap did the trick. I started going a few rounds and lost in the 1/4 finals on a red light - to a guy who was .100 so that sucked. The car did eventually come around at 11.05 @ 121. A far cry from the 11.57 @111 I started with... At least I'm back in the ball park of where it should be.

My friend in the 65 Cuda won Class II so it was a good day after all. It was great to see all you guys too. Glad you could make it Ron.

Always great to see you Joe. Glad you got it to come around as I was mad that my first run was 11.02 but moving the timing put the mph back at 124 on the redlighting 10.83. Worst part was the guy I raced had a .215 lite ! Well I did not want to hit a bad lite but I most likely could have beaten him with a bad lite. My brother did get runner up in the 422 club race and won $300. He actually ran 10.45 three rounds in a row. His car was working good today. Glad to hear your buddy in the Cuda won also as that is a nice car. Ron

Yeah, we took some timing out of mine the last time I had it out in an attempt to help it hook. The track was terrible that day and it was blowing the tires off on the 4bbl. I'm hoping that's where some of my ET has gone. I couldn't change too many variables today once eliminations started, so I was stuck with the timing where it was. Hopefully we'll get it straight for the Mopar race at MIR next weekend.
