So the new motor trans combo has 9 full passes on it. 4 on Saturday and 5 on Sunday. Sunday was the 1st points race and I only got one time trail, but was fortunate enough to make it to the semi-finals before losing concentration and giving away a final round appearance on the tree.

Car went a best of 8.61 at 156 with a 1.19 60'.

I think it has a easy .50 in it if not a 8.40...

I need to do a bit of shock wheelie bar tuning, but the car went right down the track. Sunday it was between .61 & .64 with weather changes too.

Also need to work on oil getting sucked into the vacuum pump. One thing I'll start doing for sure is kill the motor at the stripe. Thinking that will make a big difference as well as tune on the baffel.

I run an Indy head and not a B-1. But since the vacuum pump outlet was moved to the front of the right valve cover I can run a couple events without emptying the bottle.

Got me we have a busy summer, Plan to go to the Woodburn Mopar Nats, but the DA isn't always great that weekend.

Double header at Pacific May 17th-18th would be a good opportunity.

We raced last night, and went 8.45 @ 160.5 with a 1.17 60'

Fixed the oil being sucked into the vacuum pump issue.

Checked the timing and I was off only had 30* when it went 8.61 so we bumped it up to 35* and it picked up considerably! oh yea the air was pretty good too about 1,000' DA.

Getting better! Might even like more than 35 degrees of timing.
