Wildfire is closing in fast!

Hey Verne, When you guys change the rear Ronnie will be running mid 50's-60's always I bet!

[Verne_Frantz]

I appreciate the optimism Sam, but Ronnie says the .38s may only give us a tenth. It would be nice to be surprised though... I have a hunch that gear change will do more than that because the car is a 4-speed. (rather than a 5-speed). It RPMs instantly and has a long flat torque curve at the top.

Also consider that none of the 9.sec runs have produced his best 60' time. Suspension changes are also on the list. There are a few ways we can knaw on those 2 tenths we need.........

Ronnie just turned a 9.72 in bad air (89deg, 56%RH). He's now 4 hundreths away from being the fastest "stock" 409 in the country. And there are still a few changes in the works. We don't want to beat the .68 best with a .67. We want to be in the .50s.
The starter at Cecil said it was the best looking and launching nostalgia car he'd ever seen.

More updates later as the weather gets better.... And remember.......this is a 4-speed car!

I'm going to sleep with a smile on my face tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
