Sorry, no results from me. Yesterday weather was cool and kind of rainy. Today though absolutely beautiful. I live about 2 miles from the track.
78degrees 2464 density altitude 53.1 dew point
Would be a nice day to either be watching or racing. Good luck to those racing!

Thanks for the update Jeff. What kind of car does Jim Keys have?
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

Only got a second for a quick update. The best pass I could get the whole weekend was 11.78 (spiining a little, 1.90 60 ft.) 95mph-1/8 118-1/4. I weighed the car at the track, 3550 race weight. There were three thing different than on the dyno. 1) 2ft. of open pipe on the dyno instead of full exhaust on car. 2) Fuel supply from regulator back (I am running a 3/8 line with a single holley blue pump at the tank with a 3/8 pickup) 3) Ignition, I ran my distributor on the dyno with the shops MSD ignition box and coil. I am running a SMP LX101 (same thing as a MP chrome box) with a jacobs coil. Needless to say I was dissapointed but it was the first time out with this motor, need to try some things but my gut says there is not 1/2 a second left in it, but I hope I'm wrong. I have an LM-1 but the plug is frozen in the bung so no A/F measurements. I did see a mid seventies GTO (Nova) running it looked like it had a BB pontiac not a SB chevy. I saw some low 12 second passes later he was running slicks running low 11's. Dave said he dropped out and was just making some passes. We pitted next to Bob K and got to get to chat with him and his daughter a little bit, very friendly guy, I asked about Tom Hoover and he had many good things to say. Hope all that went had a good time racing and watching.

your MPH seems like it would get you to 11.50 or better, the A/F meter would tell a lot i bet.

I saw the last run he made and he pulled the front up pretty good. I went back to look at it at his trailer. Are Wilwood disc's legal for these cars?

It's def. making more power than mine, but not nearly as much more as I was hoping you were. Have you dyno'd it on that dyno before? Did it make more power this time? You have to get that think to hook.
What was the "smallblock" gm running with the poly's? What kind of mph?
