New project

[hotrod 80]

Wow , ran a double header this weekend at Evadale raceway and had a horrible weekend. Started out Friday night and was gonna just tighten the alt belt . Couldn't get it tight . Had to pull it apart and make a few mods . Finally got it fixed . Went to check the oil and the dipstick broke off in the block . Found a sheetmetal screw and RTV'd it into the remainer of the dipstick . Then noticed the wire from the solenoid to starter motor had insulation falling off . Fixed it . Worked on it til midnight . Got up at 6 am and headed out . About half way there rain . Then facebook said delay of gates opening . Finally got there and the truck is creeping forward when the brake is applied . I went red both time trials . I literally threw the kitchen sink at it and was .-017 red last time trial and .-.017 first round . Couldn't fix it . Get up sunday and decide to just footbrake the truck . GO to warn it up and break the nose off the starter . Borrow a starter from a buddy and I'm back in . Have not footbraked this truck I 4 or 5 years . ROll up under the back and thank god I wrote note on the underside of the bed in sharpie marker . Made a few adjustment and actually went to 5 cars and lost a race I should have won . had him covered on the tree and gave it back at the finish by .007 . Truck shoot out coming up Saturday . I'm running 10.0 index , then tear down trans fix dipstick and rear main seal . No racing til mid may .
