This is Jim giving me a hand in the staging lanes.

So what your saying is the reason I have a butterfly wheel instead of a round one is the round one would rub on my belly? I have a lot of respect for Ted, Royce and all the other guys that run those kind of cars . The first time I got in it and put the belts on I had to get back out and take a deep breath . I felt a little claustrophobic . But like any good racer once a motor fired all I could think of was dumping the clutch and pressing the gas. Larry

I want to know how they got him in there, let alone out. Grease, Wd40?

Maybe I should put a direct drive in my 56, I seem to miss a few gears in it now and then ! I was lucky to have a friend who had ran a late model Hilborn and helped tune mine ( I had the barrel valve in backwards ) and Vic talked to other dragster drivers on how to slip the clutch to get it to leave better. Jim and other Y Blockers all stopped by to talk and give a hand. Larry

What amazed me was how well it started and ran for the first time out. At least you didn't miss a shift all weekend.

Ted, doesn't Vic remind you of Batman's sidekick Robin with those glasses on ? We sure had fun that weekend . I'll bet Royce and Vic are hoping I get a reverse put in it, they did a lot of pushing and pulling me back in the pits so I could go down and race. As soon as I get it down loaded I'll post a video we took from the rollbar going down the track. Larry

Big question is any runs yet?

It’s great to see another Y powered machine up and running.  Good job in getting that dragster back together again.  Looks good and has to be fun to drive.  Royce looks at home in the drivers seat.
