    Well... I'm finally making some progress! After finding a issue with a main bearing the other week, we torn the motor down cleaned everything up and slapped some new rings and bearings in it. Got the motor in 9:30 Friday night and loaded her up to head to a race at PBIR on Saturday. Spent most of the day fixing little odds and ends. The car is making a hard move to the right at about 100-200' out. I've had to left every pass to keep it in my lane. Tried putting in a boost ramp to help settle it down but no luck. I wound up running my new PB though despite the fact I was part throttle for 2 seconds of the run.. 7.82 176mph. We were pretty excited about that. Its staying in the garage until NMRA Bradenton next week. Hopefully I get it figured out and see what it'll do under full power. Then turn this joker up!!

    Plumb it any way you see fit. You just need a high filler location

    So we've had a pretty good run going here lately. In the last 6 races, 3 semi final appearances in a row, runner up, loss first round by a bumper to the guy that won the race, and now finally a WIN!! I've been having so much fun lately. The still isn't running the times I think it should but with some of the no prep stuff I've been running it's been hard to test for unicorn passes. Going to do some maintenance this week to get ready for possibly two different races for the week after. I have a exhuast leak to fix and I'm hoping it fixes a couple things. If not it seems as if I might be out of turbo, I sure hope not!
