CAR RAN good, DRIVER sucked!!! Made two passes 2,000 RPM foot braked it. Not used to reverse valve pattern ,shifted right into drive 150 ft out. Car ran 7:30 first easy pass. Then screwed up on the light 2nd pass had no times. Ran it hard thru felt like it's the fastest I have ever ran. I would guess 6:80 run. Didn't make anymore runs The motor started to miss. I think it's the plugs. Will know tomarrow. Too dam hot

Ya shoulda put a glide with a transbrake in it. Then goin to high would have been fine. Woulda been lighter too. Coulda compensated for the driver ballast.

Don't really care about the times: first time out and all.... just proud of you for having the car done and ready for Manmouth/Leharpe and Collinsville. Any chance we can talk you into VF in Nov too?
