OH BY THE WAY AL,YOUR SON IS A GREAT KID AND REALLY FUNNY.
IM HOPING TO MAKE SOME RACES NEXT YEAR IN VEGAS AND MAYBE ARIZONA AND YOU CAN GIVE ME SOME TIPS ON WINNING THE BIG BUCKS, YES ILL HAVE TO GET THOSE CONTINGENCY STICKERS,LOL...

Look forward to racing with you one of these days Dave. Good to talk with you again. Yeah sounds like we were probably up watching the racing before we left to start moving car. Oh yeah cant you just see those shiney orange valve covers under your hood

I am very happy with the progress on the engine for sure. Did not have to adjust any valves really all weekend long. We just need to play with the carbs some more to get the power up where it should be and figure out how to use it better. Our splits were pretty competitve as was the MPH. We now there is more MPH in it as we were headed the right direction there. We just need to get the 60' covered better. For now it is baby steps and hopefully we will have a place to race next year...

If not we just leakdown the motor and that was good news. The springs checked out at the same poundage they were installed at so it will be ready to go for someone next year.

Hopefully, I'm bringing out the "Black Car"


God Willing.. Be seeing you all at the track in 2012..


Chris..

If the "black car" was still in Al's garage I bet Don would have completed his license passes!

HEY AL,I WAS WATCHING YOUR LAST PASS,.YOU ARE GETTING ALOT OF WHEEL SPIN OUT OF THE HOLE.I WAS WATCHING WHERE YOUR CAR WAS WHEN DOING YOUR BURNOUT, YOU ARE STILL IN THE WATER,I WOULD HAVE PULLED YOU UP ANOTHER FOOT.

Dave we want that wheel speed, it is what accelerates the car. We just need to find a way to keep in going thoughout first gear. If you look at the data log you will see where it begins to hook to much and pulls the motor down. Can also see it go away on video and when you link it to the data it really shows. That is the one thing we have to get correct to make this thing fly, just got to figure out how to get it done and not spin. Got to remember this thing likes the RPM that wheel speed is what we need. Dead hook is not a good thing in this kind of car, or really any high hp kind of set up. One of the issues we have with the other car is to much hit and not enough wheel speed..That why it is such a turd.
