Got the car buttoned up Wednesday, and took it to my buddy Patrick this morning to move the seat back. Put in a new set of belts while I was at it.

Took it out to 41. Drove it up to Tech and back, then checked for leaks and such. All looked good, so off to staging. Not many cars, so I drove right into the right lane. Did a good John Force burnout and staged it up. Left decent, but I knocked the Cheetah shifter from 1st to 3rd. Still went 15:26@86. Also noticed I still had the scoop taped shut.

Opened that up and went up for another shot. Got all 3 gears this time and picked up a 14:25@94 timeslip.

Rain was on the horizon so I hurried up and made 1 last hit. Car sounded great, and went 13:95@95. I drove it up on the trailer just before it poured.

I was expecting the car to run high 14's so I am ecstatic to say the least. Got to give it just a little more love then off to Clay City in 2 weeks.

Get rid of that shifter Dennis. Everyone that I know that has one of those things goes from 1st to 3rd.

I found that if I held my hand out to the side and pulled it back and in toward me it works fine. However, I may put my PPP that I bought for the Daytona in it.

Or maybe bite the bullet and put the air shifter back on this one.

I love the older Winters, Fairbanks, T/A type shifters bow up
I have done the same thing on other brands and types shifters also shruggy
I learned a long time ago to either stiffen up the right arm a lot with my hand on the shifter or don't leave it on the shifter in 1st gear leaving the starting line shruggy work

That's what I'm hoping John!

I'm already up to 3 weeks vacation at work. I should be able to take enough days off to run points at 66 next year.

Some pics from Clay City last weekend. 1 time run and went 3 rounds. Lost on the wrong end of a double break-out. Hossed the gas when I should have layed on the brakes.

2nd round-Scared my buddy Lou with a .100 light and he went -.009 red.



Staging lanes 1st round.

I have no clue. Mike found it somewhere. It's molded plastic and fits very nicely.

Just got home from testing at 41 tonight. After Clay City I brought my carb home because I thought it was not 60 footing for poo. Carb was clean inside so I changed the power valve which was leaking, and changed the primary squirter from a 28 back to a 25. I also took the time to physically check for TDC because I suspected I had a late model timing cover and an early style damper. My suspicions were confirmed, so I made new marks and got my timing down from 42* total to 34*

I have been running on either Marathon or Sunoco 93 with ethanol. Friday when I was at Casey's by my shop I saw they now have 91 with no ethanol so I grabbed some.

Weather was perfect tonight. Low 60's with low humidity. Much better than the crap I've been in where it was upper 80's with 60* humidity.

First pass off the trailer it went 13:37@100. That's .6 and 5 mph better than it's ever been.

Second pass was 13:05@103. Another .3 and 3 mph. shock

Last pass it was so dark I couldn't see the tach. I short shifted 2nd and 3rd and it still went 13:22@101.

All in all, with not much changing it picked up .9 and 8 mph, and it drove back up on the trailer under it's own power. To say I am happy would be an understatement. boogie

It's got a 4.10 and spool in it, I shift at 6700.

Daytona is sitting in my shop. It will probably get a big inch smallblock now.

I got to see my friend Dennis today with his "Buzzin Half Duzzin" at the Route 66 Raceway season opening test and tune.
I thought his car ran well and got to see a 13:28 pass!
