I`m not the kind of guy who tries out a new carb at wot at the track myself........I would rather drive it on the street first, do some high end blasts and read a plug or two. But that`s just me.....seen many people slow down w/a new carb rather then speed up but eighter way, hope you can make it. 
yeh... If I get it finished Ill make a few motor passes first... well see how the night goes... also tryin out montes NOS recomendations... it should either haul A$$ either way I think...  good bye 4150... hello dominator

That`s nothing new from what I hear and my friends who race there a lot say the wind is not an issue and the weather report says it will die down by 2:00.

It was nice putting the names to faces. Nice meeting you guys. The valiant is a gurgeous car!!!!!!! and hauls butt  . The dart ran fantastic and it leaves hanging the hoops  No personal best here, it ran .008 off the best. My buddy was driving and was spanked by member cmcgee123  The coupe ran a 7:40 at just over 93. Let me know when it's time to do it again. Allen

Fig, It was good meeting you also and Rons car is a work of art.  I`m sorry we couldn`t chat more but it can get pretty hectic so maybe next time. Sorry blackfish about not being able to bs w/ya again, VERY fast pased crazy stuff so maybe we can arrange an overnight adventure at Fomoso soon before it heats up. Anyone want to try to make this happen?

I showed up for about an hour just to watch. The track looked to me to be slippery. Many cars were spinning including Rons Valiant. Its normally wheels up and it just spun. Still ran killer though. I got to see Thumperdart make a pass. I just wasnt there long enough to talk to anybody. I got there at 7:50 and left at 9:00. I had to wake up for work at 3:00.
I would be in for going to Famoso. I love that track. Im in the process of putting another engine together for my brothers car. Should have some more steam. Anyways, the air was cool and seemed dry which is all good, but the traction seemed less than desireable. I watched many cars that usually hook good just spin the tires.

Troy, I did a new best of 6.96 and new best mph of 96.24 . I had not cracked 96 yet. But my 60 foot was off. I did 4ea 1.47s sixty foots and one 1.49 and last time I did a 1.44 with a slower ET and MPH. So I was definately not hooking as good. So I guess traction was constently bad for me but not too terrible. I really have not tried too much yet. Just getting comfy with it. Practicing on the tree. Can't wait to run a full quarter mile.
