James, are you headed back to TN?
By JPotter57 - 14 Years Ago
Maybe...there are some crazy things going on with the contract at work.  It ends on 30Sept, and the new contract still hasnt been awarded.  We dont know who won, if there will be jobs for all of us, etc.  I will be trying to get an auto tech job soon if it looks like this one is going away, cant really afford to go too long without a paycheck...We'll see what happens.  I dont want to leave, but it costs too much down here to stay without a good paying job...I'll keep in touch with you for sure, as you will probably be closer to me if I live in TN than I am now, lol....I will be closer to Columbus if I am back there, and won't miss it again.  I have missed coming to the expo for the last 5 years.

....Ted, how did the roadster run?
Changed brands of fuel and it took awhile to get that through the system.  Was about fifteen hundredths off what the car normally runs in those conditions.  ET’s finally starting coming back around on Sunday and ran a 9.77 while breaking out.  The car otherwise ran okay but was lackluster in performance until that initial load of fuel was blended off.  But it did have me doing some other troubleshooting like checking the timing and for full throttle at the carb before finally determing it was the new brand of fuel I was using.  Went to using some backup dyno fuel I carried with me in the trailer and as the percentage of the replacement fuel got higher, et's dropped accordingly.
