Hot Rod reunion at Bakersfield Famoso Race Way.   The T-Bird ran well.  The track has National Event caliber prep.  We had the car tuned down at the launch to keep it from star gazing.  Best time 9.71 @ 138.10 mph.  They have a live Pod Cast of the whole weekend.  I'll try to see if I can find the time for the test pass this morning.  Were shooting for C -GAS at the March Meet.    

  California Hot Rod Reunion Saturday October 23rd   @ 33:00 minute mark.

John, It's good to see this car back on the track. Glad you're the one involved.

This launch is much prettier with the wheelie bar setup closer.  Friday night was ugly, front wheels 3ft in the air, sparks flying when the car came down.  Nothing a sledge hammer and a cresent wrench can't fix.

The infamous 355Y from Todd Fergusons Falcon is back up running.  Now installed in the Ernie Phillips 56 T bird  now owned by Joe Cebe.   
 Testing at Sacramento this morning for the Division 7 Summit Series finals ripped off a 6.11 1/8th mile @ 111.85mph. Unfortunately they are not running the full 1/4 mile this weekend. 
  We've got some work to do.  With the launch limiter down at 3600rpm  5* of retard pulled for 1 sec and instant center as low as we get with the current ladder bar it strikes the wheelie bar like Mark McGwire.   
 We've been shooting for  Heritage Series (C Gas) for the last couple of years and think we will very close in March.

Anything new happened at strips this year? Our altered has stayed in garage all year, so nothing to report... Still lickin' wounds after disappointing 2018 season...

I ran a 13.72 @ 101.67 mph and backed it up with a 13.79 @ 100.01mph at Cecil County Maryland Dragway Dec 15 2001.  The air was good, the car was new, and I was younger then.  Also Cecil County has a reputation for being very quick. The car still looks pretty good, this is last summer.
