To Everyone Much, Much thanks to every one for the help at Columbus this weekend both on the car & loading up in the flood.I didn't get enough water Sunday so I went to local track Monday & what more rain my only time run was 13.10 which included a complet loss of traction in all of second gear till I made my last shift into 3rd.I would of never though that in 3900 lbs. of car & driver.This engine is only .017 better then the old one on 60 foot time so there is some more there to get which didn't surprize me as I could feel the tires turn . Since I have some things to work on like wider Weld Draglite rear rims ect.& now I don'thave any secerts on what Ia'm doing I will be back on here on the tech fourm for thoughts & ideas. I only do a few things of what I am told {just ask Wally and Rick Martin] but I like to hear ideas to get me thinking. Harry Hutten Jr.

I was in the other lane next to Harry and he ran a killer 12.933 at 105.98 mph. Congrats!! Harry. This car surprised a lot of people which shows what the new heads and intake reworked can do. His Merc looked great going down the track.

Ted (9/2/2014)
Ol Ford Guy (9/1/2014) What happened at Columbus this year? I didn't make it and am wondering who did what.Paul. We missed you as well as some of the other regulars this year.
Ditto on what John mentions about the ticket stub. For those of you that still have them, they are worth $75 towards next years entry fee.
And added to John’s reply above, Robin Church took me out in the first round. It was going to be tough to top a good light on his side of the tree as well as running right on his dial. As a result, Robin got the bounty that was on my head. The Quick 16 class was a different story though where I did qualify in the top half of the field and made it to the quarter-finals which was worth a little cash. So Ted, no new records yet?

I think Bob Martin also had a best after having an overdue tune up performed at the track.

Here are some pictures taken by the Steve and Kris Culp. http://www.culplake.com/Cool_Stuff.php I am currently working towards getting Charlie’s, Bob’s, and my Expo pictures together. Once that happens, I’ll have Jim make them accessible through the YBF site.

.....So Ted, no new records yet?No new records for the time being. For consistency purposes, I’ve been running the car about two tenths slower than what it can run flat out. Until I actually make some changes to the car, it’s not going to run any faster. Gearing and headers are on the list of changes for the current combination but I’m contemplating some serious internal engine design changes down the road. Just have to wait and see how everything works out.

I drove Bob Martin's Mercury and the tune up in the pit consisted of checking the valve lash and reading a plug, which Ted suggested we should change in the next couple of years! The old Merc. ran great, but the driver was a sleep at the light. Congrats to Royce for cutting a perfect light .000 I think he was trying to red light and messed up.
