Nice meeting you Dave. That cars a beauty. Wish we would have been able to spend more time down near Doug, Chief, Mike, and Greg.as usual though, we still have some issues to deal with. Randy, as always, it was a pleasure talking to you. I'd like to try to get together with everyone again this summer.
Randy

... I had my mech throttle stop on it set at 1/3 carb opening and the car was trying to hop... not enough torque to plant the tires good... I tried a couple of things to see if that would help but it didnt... tried to up the launch rpm from 3800 to 4600 but no help I also tried more tire pressure but no help... I should have changed the 4-link IC but I didnt feel like doing that in the heat... Doug made a few passes at 10.09 so all in all it was a good day.... good job Doug
I was just talking about that on the way home from Lapeer. Not enough power applied to get the current IC working. When Randy came over to say hello I told him to 'get over there and slap him in the face' to get the adrenalin workin'...Later on in the day he told me he slapped you Raff...I meant to hit Doug instead. LOL! Now both you guys are gonna be pissed at me. Seriously jumping into a short wheelbase fast car will take some time getting used to and your doing good Doug. Just remember there are 2 speeds OFF and WFO!

...Sean,Thanks for the valve adjusting technique info! Is there a particular sequence to follow,as far as cylinders go? Do you start with #1 and go along...8-4-3-6-5-7-2?
Honestly, no. I just pick a rocker that's at lash and adjust it, bouncing along one bank(side) at a time. It makes it easier on the monkey spinning the engine over LOL. Going to bed, see you fellas in the morning.
