We made 3 passes on Fri night and picked up every pass. Then Sat at VMP started getting a handle on the clutch and went from 9.63 @137 to a 9.49 @141. New best 1/8th mile went from 6.14 @109 to 6.03 @114. Hopefully we will be able to spray this weekend if all goes well. The best part of the weekend was driving the car back on the trailer in one piece.

Thanks guys the motor is Mike Gray's 417" with W8 heads. Ryan (Shadydell)built this to run on the juice so we are really happy that it runs this good on just the motor. The clutch is a Ram disc with Mcleod pressure plate set up by Bob Reed. We added a data logger this year and that really helps in the clutch dept.

Racerx, that vid is with the old w2 motor which we have for sale. If all goes well I hope to have a new vid this coming w/e with the W8 and NOS.
Mr.P we had a few bad outings last year so it was a real pleasure to be able to drive it back on the trailer.

Cool. Runs better than the dyno #'s indicate..... that's a rare occurrence LOL

Will be interesting to see how car reacts to the N20 this year with "new" chassis pieces...

That's gotta be one fun ride with a 5 speed in it..... Would love to see an in car vid of a pass.

Ryan, I got a GoPro camera for Christmas I will see if I can get it mounted in the car for next w/e.
Bob the car drives good with the new front end.

Chris it was a enjoyable w/e not having to work on the car and just racing.
