    Been collecting up some parts, got a ATI balancer, a new hardwood 4" cowl hood installed, . Car has been smogged, insured, & registered.. Been testing its streetability lately, seems to be going ok. Going to be heading to the track this Thursday, to see what the tech guys wanna say about it!!

    It's a hardwood 4" lift off.. I hope to be making a pass in the next month or so. Some new radials, & safety gear, & I should be good to go. Been driving it on the street a lot, & I think I'm gonna need to upgrade the cooling system..

    Yeah got a little hot one day, but think it might of had some air in the system. Drove the car 50 miles to the track & back, & had zero issues, I'm pretty happy with that!! Went through tech & only got dinged for a couple small items, most of which I already knew.. Parts have been ordered & installed to pass tech now... Cage padding, updated harness, helmet, sticker (push off) for ON/OFF switch, wire neutral safety switch, installed my new balancer, & wired the 2 step..

    Can figure out how to rotate my pics from my phone.. But anyways, went out last night & made 5 1/8 mile hits.. Made lots of driver errors, but all in all had a somewhat successful evening.. First hit on the foot brake 7.00 @ 102mph 1.74 60
    Next hit 7.15 @ 100 1.90 60 slightly heat soaked, next hit it went 6.97 @ 100 accidentally left in 2nd gear, 4th hit left on the brake went 1.45 60ft went out about 400 ft & a ground wire fell off a relay killed the car dead in the water, coasted to a 7.08 @ 76mph, fixed it quickly & made the last hit @ about 9pm left on the brake, went 6.81 @ 100mph 1.60 60ft all passes were on 9.5 psi on pump e85

    It's taken awhile, but I'm Pretty happy with today's 1/4 mile hits. 10.28, spun, 10.20,10.19,spun. The 3 good passes were all in the high 6.40 range 1/8 mile.. all passes were @ right around 10psi. One pass, pulled 1.38 60ft STOKED.. I'm hoping I can figure out some small issues & get this thing in the 9's on 10 psi..

    Hoping this corroded cap & rotor is the cause of the sputtering on the big end!!
