I just wanted to say thanks for catching my car on video. Even though that was my slowest run of the day (passenger on board, keep it above 14 sec!) It was good to see my car had clean pipes all the way down the track!

I was down track when you made the pass with the "smoke", it looked white and I thought it was steam. You might want to make sure the oil is not contaminated (you can get your oil analyzed at places like this one )

Steam... a few people brought that up when I came back... you said from "contaminated oil" do you mean condensation in the block over the years ends up in the oil? I would think it would not mix, end evaporate out the valve cover breather? Or leaking headgasket causing coolant to be burned in the chamber and the steam goes out the exhaust? But usually when I have had that problem (even very minor) the combustion pressure makes its way into the cooling system and out the relief on the radiator cap... Or condensation in the exhaust? Maybe it took till 4th gear to get the majority of the exhaust hot enough to burn enough to make that much steam - sounds kind of strange - but sometimes anything is possible...

I don't have a ready explanation if the oil and coolant didn't mix (that's been my experience with steam in the exhaust, leaky head gasket). I thought perhaps getting an oil sample analyzed could put your mind at ease with respect to the engine's condition.

Just my 2 cents worth but I thought that the smoke was some late in coming in 4 bbl. opening. Just a thought. Just remember my motto.

Dial up sux!!!! Wow, after about an hour to load, I got to see just over half of it. What I saw was excellent. Great job! I'll have to go to a buddy's to see it all.

Mark, remember when I bought the 1969 GTO Judge (40k), and you (and your DAD) were giving me your expert tutelage on "POWER SHIFTING". When I got home, remember how bad the engine smoked, found out later I cracked the #7, oil ring, on top of, god knows how many valves were sticking. I had a ton of "blow by", exiting from the vent tube. The Judge had sat for so long, and then I buy it and go out and run the crap out of it. Probably a "No, No"!! (We did have a lot of fun blowing away Hondas-HA, HA!)
Anyway, should make sure the "Motion", is good and ready for next year. Take off the rev.limiter and let it go to about 7 grand. This could be the "Motion" that makes good on Mr. Rosen's promise of "Mid 11's".

Maybe it was a carb problem, or just something with the carb or fuel? It looked like the steam or whatever came from both pipes? My carb set to rich its black smoke, and it definitely wasn't blue.


I know, you broke the sound barrier with that run. Awesome
And great job on the Video also.

I remember the shifting 101 class you got... but who did we "blow away"? Was it one of the usual fart can warriors or Jay/Cory and those guys???
