After putting new heads on the dart Melissa best past was 11.19, 11.24, 11.26. The car has been running 11.50's to 11.70. We were sure glad the hard work paid off for us. She is in with the big guys now. lol. DartGirl68 will be doing awesome once she does get more seat time. She handled the car really well for only racing the car for 2 yrs. She got to run the Big man in Pro 2nd round sunday Pat he is the man out there right now. She has a goal set "Wants to beat the man one day". That's a big goal. After this weekend we think she may be 10th in points. It really was good to see Mr Peabody's car out there and Doug driving. See you at KilKare. Debi, Ron, Chasity and Melissa.

I believe once Doug gets more seat time I think it'll be better.... I think I should have slowed the reaction down on the button once he had a few runs in... at first he was a touch slow so I run the button faster but as he got more seat time he was picking up so I should have slowed it up... but the big thing is that I need to get the carb RIGHT

I would pull the car into gear to load the engine to see how the carb was working and when I put it back into neutral and hit the gas to clean it out it jumped forward... I did this a couple times then said this isnt right and started looking for the problem... a melted shift cable... the way I had it routed around the starter it slipped off and got close to the pipes... SO it wasnt Doug's fault at all... was mine for not doing it right.... so tomorrow I need to order up a shift cable... what a shame I liked that cable.. just the skinny old regular one, not the HD one(I dont care for those, they dont flex very well)
