Good luck - and don't be a stranger!

Thanks Bob!

Al was FLYING! Too bad he broke early, only got to talk to him once in the lanes. Car has came ALONG way since the last time I saw it... he was running 11.6's then

He should do very well in Factory Stock.

Ya, he called me on the way home. No oil, no sound, no mess, just no power. Don't know what happened. And he's not racing F/S...I am....he's just building the motor.

Whoo Hoo!

Found one of my traction problems. I had re-installed panhard support. It's been off for nearly a year. The bolts on my LPW cover were hitting it. Last week I "clearenced" and put it back on the car... well, I didn't clearence it enough

It was hitting pretty hard

I did alot more clearencing today.. hopefully that will cure some of my traction problems
