    Indeed!!!! They required a license from the get go from everyone. Didn't matter if you had a 12+ second car with license plate. If you were a Dutch citizen, they'd waiver the license... Rats!!!!!

    Right. Good news and bad news. The bad news is that I didn't get to race. They required a Dutch racing license. Don't have that. Good news is: the problem seems to be fixed. More testing required. Far so good.

    400 SBC with roller cam and AFR 210 eliminator heads. D1-SC at 7 PSI as power adder plus water/methanol to cool things down. It dynoed at 600TQ/640HP. Despite that, it has excellent street manners and a very gentle idle. I never got it to stick on launch. However this track, a first, will...

    TCC solenoid Qs

    Oops - I heard a small tick sound when I reversed the polarity (not for long tho') On other hand nothing happened when I applied 12v. Didn't I read somewhere you needed to apply copmpressed air and 12v? D.

    TCC solenoid Qs

    Will applying 12v to the TCC solenoid actuate it? Will reversing polarity blow it? How is that for two very straightforward questions? :) D.

    Trans shopped opened the pump and found some light wear. As for the converter, they will have to cut it open, of course. They claim they can fix it by Thursday. Stay tuned, D.

    Thanks gents, Indeed, I accidentally force locked during my last race. I didn't think too much of it at the time... That was a mistake that seems to have caught up with me. Directs and steels look good; I replaced them after my last race. Will check pump again. Last time I looked...

    No, no x-Ray eyeballs cuz then I could see what's going on in the converter. Ummm, I know the other clutches are fine because the trans is in pieces In my shop. I checked them all. The above pic was just to show you the amount of clutch material found in pan. There should have been some...

    Gents, correct me if I'm wrong, but if there is a lot of clutch material in the pan and some metal shavings... And all my other clutches look great! It must come from the converter, right? I guess I can order a new one or have it rebuilt locally. Typically are these things tought to...

    I think it is foaming...

    Some hader runs. Still no sign of venting again. Maybe it was overfilled. Still shifts are not as firm as I want them. Acceptable tho.
