I only made it to the track once, but I set a new personal best....about 10 times over. Just kept getting faster every pass after some tune tweaking.

Oh wow, lets see.

race #1 broke before the 1st round
#2 missed the race because i was playing in the sand
#3 had the truck back together, went out 1st round
#4 broke a pushrod coming out of the water box on the 1st time trial

race #5,6,7,8,9, and 10 the truck has sat on the back burner waiting for things to cool off so I can finish a nice little pump gas 383, will put some street gears back in it and send it out looking for a new home.

Have quicker car apart getting things freshened / re-certed and will try again next year.

I did not go much do to work. The guys at the engine shop that I help did great. Ran real fast and won a lot in a lot of classes.

half azz... test and tune night has been hit or miss .. too much time between rounds due to track clean up..

Thrash to get there , have the tune ready get up there make a pass yep it looks good. Time to get a little mean with the tune up. First time I am ready to pull the second kit on line. Check my line for leaks in the pits after NOS jet change. All good turn bottle off. Wait get up there , in the box line loc on, burnout limiter on, in 2nd gear or pull third , release line loc, roll off throttle out of the box. Great I am ready. In first gear both kits switch's on, purge looks good solid stream. on the t brake annnnnnnd release and I am off !!!!! WTF truck falls on its face... yep I forget to turn bottle on.. ARGGGGGG..

Guy after me makes a mess of the track end of season for track.

On the drive home I bent the crap out of my right lower A arm as I crossed the train track. Rail was popped up for whatever reason. So now I am looking into new tubular arms.

Nice way to end the season...



Marv you need to stop playing in the sand ha ha
