The only thing I have good to report from yesterday is that Elwood and I came home in one piece. While staging for our first pass the by-pass in the oil pump stuck again only this time in the shut position. Pegged the gauge and blew a bunch of oil around the filter adaptor. So now we have a puddle of oil to clean up and have to go back to the pits to try and fix the problem. Without boring you... all with details after some PITA work in the HOT sun we got the pump working right and figured we could make a run. Took till around 2 pm till they called up the next round in my class but we were ready, I thought. Fired up and it felt good, did my burn out and something just didn't feel right. But I was there and ready to go. Staged and launched. The whole run just didn't feel too good, the time slip and video prove it. It's almost like I wasn't hitting on all eight. Video is very shaky. Ran 11.571 @ 114.82 mph, I was hoping to run faster than last years 10.61 @ 129 mph.
Oh well! Back to work. It's still fun even when things don't go as planned. bla bla

Not very good at all. You can see how shaky the car is and the sound just isn't right. I think I did more than just foul one plug when the oil pressure pegged. Also you can hear how it went right into third as I shifted to second.

I just put it away Sat. night, I was too tired to mess with it and kinda dissapointed. I'm headed out now to have a look and see what's up.

Well the verdict is in, Rookie mistake. I should have checked the valve lash, one intake adjusted itself tight and was open when it should have been closed. Shame on me.
