Well, we went down to holly springs, ms last weekend for their spring shootout. We had a tough weekend, with lots of setbacks from our logger, blown carb gasket, and a broken intermediate shaft in the transmission, but with the help of a lot of great people we were able to keep going. We had a New pb 60 foot of 1.28, but couldn't quite get the tuneup where we wanted before it was all said and done.

Also, here is a link to the in car video we got. Next time I will get a view out of the windshield. This was more intended for watching the gauges to see what oil, water, and oil temp were doing during a run.

John lost a hood :scratch:

Please give us details John.....

(I know it's old news but I haven't actually heard the story, video would even be better.....)

I got 10 fasteners on my hood, should there be more?

Back in 2008 I launched the hood into low earth orbit. Sheared the aluminum hood pins (4) and it landed in the other lane which disqualified me and cost me the 1st round win.
