I want to go racing sooooo bad....I have been driving up to Idaho for the last three weekends getting my mother ready to move. This should be the last weekend and we will have her ready to move. We have sold her home and maybe next weekend I can make it to the T&T on the 14th...I am having withdrawls. Ross get your car ready.

Sorry will not be out there at the test and tune... We are racing this friday, and then we are back out there for 2 days at the summer send off event with Jessie's Jr Dragster.
On a side note, it looks like Saturday I am going to pull the Engine and trans out of the convertible finally. Transmission is going to Gordon Turner for a full rebuild, and the block and crank are going to a local machine shop. Hope to have it running before the end of September.

Ok guys, we are on for wed. Ross and I will be there, my son and his new ZL1 will be there, possibly we can get the Stroker to go. I doubt that Vince will have his new set up running. Tom you up for trying the Cadillac.

Nice hanging out w/you guys! I really enjoyed the company and watching some strong runs by several of the gang. Cool "Car guy" evening!

OK--I was down about 4 miles per hour, which indicates I may be down on horsepower. I have pulled the plugs, pulled off the plug wires, pulled off valve covers and will recheck and reset the valves. Ross is bringing our community compression tester we inherited from Jim, and I will test the cylinder pressure. Next move will be to recheck the timing, and the files in the computer. Next step is to psbly clean the injectors.. Need to talk to Tom and Vince about the injectors. Then, on to the dyno.......And remember, all the while this very fast car is for sale....

WOW, I was cleaning the plug wires and decided to OHM the wires....number 8 was dead as a door nail. 0 continuity....Well guess who is buying new plug wires.. Already bought the plugs.

That could explain a ton. Going to have it fixed before Friday, or Saturday? This weekend is the big Summer Send off. We are Racing both Friday and Saturday. If not, maybe after this crazy race season is over (That is in just a couple weeks) we can plan on a BBQ. I would love to get a bunch of people over for a Summer Send off of our own.
