The good news is I have been slowly clipping away at my e.t. and ran a personal best at Norwalk tonight with a 10.10 at 134 mph. The bad news is on the second pass, something broke in the motor. At the end of the pass the car shut off after turning into the turnoff. I pulled off and tried to refire it. It started but it was making some loud clacking noise. I immediately shut it off and pushed it onto the trailer. I don't know a lot about motors but I am hoping it might be a broken spring or a rocker arm.

I hope to have it looked at this weekend and back to the track before long. Still looking for that first 10.00 pass.

Pat, it was nice meeting you also. Your car sure ran well and that wheel stand was pretty cool. You carried it quite aways down track. Good luck if you go to Pittsburg.

Congrats Dave on the new best.

Sorry about the trouble. Hopefully it's something simple. Too bad you don't live closer we could help.
