We're going to give it another try this weekend. Changed a few things around, located a minor problem and repaired it. Now it's time to turn it up a bit.

Yes, Epping is only 120 miles from home. After things get dialed in, we may take a trip to Atco.

A combination of two things. Too much timing out, and both stages shut down. We were breaking things in on those runs, making sure things went like they were supposed to.

Next weekend we're putting in a new tune-up that should wake things up a bit. I am very happy with how straight it went. Last year I was driving the entire track.

We made it thru the day without any breakage, and that's a good thing. I made three half passes, one on the motor, and the last two spraying. Until I get the video converted, you'll have to wait a little bit. I did manage two 9.20's and a 9.04 all at 152mph. I'll have a full report later on when I g...

As long as I get the rear bumper about 3' off the ground, they come out very easy. The pass side almost falls off, but I have to let the air out on the drivers side tire to clear the fender lip. For some reason, that side has a larger lip on the bottom edge of the fender.

I worked on the car last night till the wee hours of the early evening to get the car to this point. About another 3 hours worth of work, and it'll be done, so to speak.

I finally got the time to make sure it runs. It sure felt good to hear it come to life once again.

They were made by the chassis shop. Very big difference is weight between the new and old ones, to the tune of roughly 20lbs each side.

It works flawlessly. This will be the first year we'll be using the electric solenoid on it. It was the easiest shifter to install. I'd give it 12 thumbs up.
