What kind of MPH for those numbers?
I worked all week.. that is why I didnt bring the car. He was trapping 120-122. He tweaked the HG and it was bleeding coolant into the oil. He put some tabs in the water.. changed the oil.. and ran one final run breaking out 11.93 on a 12.0 dial in. Melissa had brake troubles and won the class running an 11.63 on a 11.50 dial in. She ran 10.5 a bunch of times.. but could not hold any boost at the line. That kept her from making better numbers.
JC from Canada also ran 10.5 on pump gas..

Isn't that the new motor I just sent him pistons to finish? If so, that sucks real bad!! Pops and I missed tipping a few back with you all, sounds like everyone had a good time anyhow.
We missed ya on Friday for RIBBZZZZZ 
Well the piston he needed was for number two.. he replaced that one only.. the motor was in the car.. fired rite up.. no probs.. but.. after racing it, it appeared that #1 was with issues.. other side of engine. That motor was the one I raced at BG last year.. its had lots of runs on it... 1 1/2 years of beatings. Time to get it pulled out and gone through.. and new bullet put in.

That's too bad, we all know they are on borrowed time anyhow.
yes they are
... JD may need some tires to that aren't flat spotted bracket racing sucks 
wonder why he didn't go in the Alky classhopefully next year we can get more cars in there
and NO BRACKET race
He tried.. went to the tower... talked with Ron Joseph.. his car even had TAI on the back window.. couldnt get information in a correct fashion.. threw his hands up in the air.. and the rest is history..
The class needs someone watching over it.. this year it couldnt be me. Still havent gotten a call back from the guy Melissa gave me his number.
:redface:
thats to bad ... :redface: gotta drum up interest some how .... hmmmm I am sure I can stir things up before next year
ummm Ill start a thread in the Alky section ... maybe get something goin for Reynolds in Nov ???? well as long as you guys don't start droppin trees on the house before we can leave :redface:
Any of you going to BPG? If my car is still together in August I'll run TAI.
Jason
I thought about it... BUT isn't it hotter than 9 hells at that time of year there
Yep...even bigger advantage with alky.
