We had fun

I had a great time. Wish I would I have met you House. Wild Bill, You guys did a great job, this event was a blast!!!!!!!!!!

This was the second time I have had the car on the track since the frame off restoration. What a day. I stole the wife’s car, put it in the trailer and headed down. Next the bearing in the alternator of my tow rig started sounding nasty. Made a pit stop at the auto store for new alternator and made it to the track on the noisy one.

The Buick gremlins were haunting me again. I pull up to the staging lanes and the battery in the car goes dead. Back to the pits and my battery charger quits working. We use the truck with the world loudest alternator to get the Buick running. My friend Randy changes out my alternator for me.

My friend Pat was making some minor tweaks to the base fuel map. We get a hold of Cal for some tips on setting up the two step. I really wanted to make some 1/8 mile passes on the new engine, and this event couldn’t have been timed any more perfect for me.

We ended the day with a1.49 60 foot, 6.57 @ 106.33 mile per hour. Then came home with nothing broke on the car. I’ll chalk it up as a good day!!

Bunker Hill Fun

Great event Wild Bill.
Hope the after party was as good!
Do you have any pictures you can post?
Show everyone what they missed.
I left at around 10:30 pm and they were still racing.
When I left there were down to 3 in the money class.
Who ended up winning???
The event was well run and organized.
We had plenty of time between racing runs.
The other non-buick cars were great too.
I haven't ever run on an 1/8th mile track.
It was just as much fun as the 1/4 mile.
I can't wait for the next one.
I hope to see you in Columbus.
Hats off to you!
