Two Ton Tamater is running J/SA. New to div 7 this year from SoDak. I ran around with his dad back in the home country. They won out at Famoso at the S/SS combo race a few weeks back.
Nice pass Raul!

Looks like he won the first round. 
He's got an A/SA T-Bolt in Rd.2

Well, I'm having a bit of a problem dialing the car in. The weather is a bit worse than yesterday and I'm dialing based on the weather and yesterdays runs. The problem is that the car keeps picking up instead of slowing down. I got lucky first round, but no such luck on the second round. The car should have slowed by 3, but it went 1 faster instead. I need to figure what the new engine wants. Good luck to the rest of the Moparts crew. See you at the Divisional next week.

Quote:How many runs on that motor including any dyno pulls? What I remember about the NHRA stock legal SB Mopars I was involved with was they would pick up ET, HP and MPH until around 15 to 20 runs, depending on who did the machine work

Cab It has 10 passes on it. Real low tension rings and rather smooth piston walls are just getting broken in I guess. I guess I'll have to dial for additional HP each pass for the next 10-12 runs. Thanks Gordie. Jack Foshee builds one hell of a motor.

. Think there was a lot more break-outs than red lights. Clouds rolling in in the afternoon didn't help everyone's dials.

Yes it was I built it for stock. First Division race I went to it went .885 under. Went to a Vegas Division race one time aand was .7 under. That sport isn't for the weak of pocketbook. LOL It was when Mulry's Pontiac was going 1.30 under in K/SA. I was running K/SA also and had to qualify next to him. All I saw was disappearing tail lights. BTW, Thank to Neil Smedley he was my mentor.

I was hoping to come out again this year to spectate and meet you Raul. Unfortunately had conflicting work obligations. Hopefully next year!
