Default Getting closer to track/dyno day

Guys, I'll be back in 3 1/2 - 4 weeks. I'm going to Maine to pick up my car & then coming to CT. for a military school. It starts 31-Jan-05 & I'll be leaving the area on 21-Feb-05. So for the time specified I'll be able (On the weekends) to either dyno or run at the track. Does anyone have a dyno day scheduled for some where inbetween or a track day? I only have a couple times a year to race now & try to improve so any responses will be welcome, Fred

I bet you can't wait Fred! Try not to dwell though or it will feel like forever.

I might show weather pending.

Why is your car in Maine? Storage or work being done to it?

That too. Just the $40 is a hard deal to beat.

The last couple of years I've been able to set new bests at Atco in Feb. Last year Feb 15th I went 12.40@111.9 on the stock motor. You gotta love -1500-2000 ft DA's. I'd go down to East Side to dyno if I thought they would hook me up for $50 or less for 3 pulls,lol

Seriously if anyone wants to hit Atco on one of the weekends in Feb. let me know cause I'm definately going. Last Feb.. I hooked to a 1.64 against that Blue Cobra if you guys remember the video. So it is possible to hook when it's so cold. Anyways I'm looking forward to it.

Maybe some of those DEZ guys can make a trip down to Atco..Kinda far but well worth it for the fun involved, Fred

I have all bolt ons minus the pulley and a 12 bolt. Next is a new third gear, a 231/237 cam and maybe a locker.

Right now it is sitting in my dads garage. I received some military orders to California & the wife doesn't want to spend the cash to ship it out here. It runs awesome. So as far as work being done to it, none other than the plug/gas filter/oil change I have planned for it when I get up there. It's not getting any miles on it that's for sure. It gets driven like 5 miles every 2 weeks when my dad takes it to the store & back. Right now it has 38k on the clock.-Fred
