Thunder in the Valley

[larrym]

Soooooo our lone race of the year has come and gone. I had a blast and I'm in love with my car all over again. My best pass was 11.88 at 117 mph with a usless 2.0 short time. I put together and tuned this car myself home built tranny, cobbled together Alky kit (its a hobbs switched system that comes on at 12 psi) had the heads ported at a locally shop (when I blew the head gasket this spring)

My best 60 ft was a 1.78 and I cavitated all my fuel to the back and had to let off at 3/4 track still ran a 12.45 at 97 mph (i got to the track late and couldn't get all of the 5 gallons of race fuel into the tank).

Thanks for all your help guys I couldn't have done it with out the Turbo Buick guys from all over I'm the envy of all my v8 buddies
