Car ran pretty good for summertime *with movie*

Took the car to Cecil last night to make some runs before I tear into the engine to do some work on it.

60': 1.545
330': 4.577
1/8: 7.097
mph: 97.15
1000: 9.265
1/4: 11.091
mph: 123.62

Also ran a pair of 11.1x runs

Pretty much matched my best from nice cool air in pretty warm air (~2000 ft DA)

2 versions of movie quality...take your pick (please right click and save as)

Damn. Does your car still weigh 3500+lbs? What are you doing to the motor now?

Car has 78000 miles and a shoebox full of timeslips

current engine has ~18months and 75 or so passes I guess but the fact I run 7000 rpm on an unbalanced bottom end (factory crank/pistons/rods) is hell on bearings
