We'll see if it holds the 11.3-11.4's. Heat and humity it way up. I am sure we'll be over 5,000' A/D.

Good luck Coach - What are you racing this weekend? Is the BEAST back?

Hey Coach, I'll be racing this weekend. I need to get some mufflers at Summit this week so I can run in the NMCA EFI class at Pittsburgh Raceway Park. My car meets all of the qualifications except for those dang mufflers. lol. I'll slow my hot rod down a bit and run in the 10:50 index class.

BTW my race weight is 3420. I had my car weighed on a digital 4 point scale and the car weighs in at 3170. Anyone have an extra hamberger? Man I'm hungry. My car has SOOO much room for improvement.

The new motor is strong and it don't leak. It is an awesome NA motor. SAM did a good job on my 421 iron block with LS6 heads.

Later and good luck to you Coach and everyone else who races this weekend.

Tom

I may go racing this weekend. Got rained out last Friday night, so I'm thinking about going and trying again this week. Just alittle footbrake 1/8th mile bracket action, but still fun none the less.

I'm gonna try and race again this weekend after 3 straight saturdays being rained-out! Hopefully the rain chance will drop as the week goes on (at 50% now)!

Good luck everyone, , and no sleeping on the tree!

Keygan,
Good luck. 1/8 mile racing rocks! It takes alot to run the top end of the track and is easier on parts.

Derek,

Yeah, If I can find a way to get the car down there with out having to worry about driving it, I'm going to race down there. To far of a drive for 305 A4 with 3.42's. The drone will kill a guy at 70 mph. So yeah I'm practicing a little bit.

Glad to hear that every thing was ok with the motor. I knew you was worried that it might be something bad. BTW, are you free anytime next week for me to come down check the car out and discuss what we had talked about earlier in the month?
