I had a great time at the Meltdowns. A lot of Y-Block guys there. I ran my Lyndwood Dragster (first time it was down the track in almost 55 years. Had started it but never tried to drive it, Vic told me to try in out in the grass, did and the clutch worked great! Made 4 passes, first pass high 14s, second high 13s, third 13.04 @ 112, fourth 13.03 @ 110. It should run low 12s high 11s once we do some testing. It has a 1956 Lincoln with 4:50 gears and is Direct drive . It came off the line slow because of the Direct drive and we were running injectors very rich . I've been smiling for a week, that's the first time ever took a dragster down the track. I tried to get the two guys below to drive for me but one was to short to reach the Pedals, and the other guy was too smart to drive it .
