its not how fast you go, its how you go fast.

Getting ready for the last meet of the season at El Mirage this weekend, while checking the head gasket on "Jake" because I was getting a little water in #3 cylinder I found that the head gasket was holding perfect even with 13.5:1 compression, that's the good news. The bad news is I have a very smalll pin hole in the #3 cylinder. Don't have time to pull the engine and sleeve it so POR15 and a piece of cloth soaked in epoxy on the outside of the cylinder will have to make do for next week.

New "pumpkin" is in with the 3.50:1 ratio and it looks like my cylinder repair is holding. My speed calculator shows 149.2 mph @ 6400 rpm with the 3.70, I ran 141.707 so loosing about 8 mph in traction. With the 3.50 it shows 157.9, so everything equil I should get real close to 150 if I can pull it. Also got all the running lights working on the F-350, now trying to figure how to get running lights on the camper to work.

Two day meet so I hope to get in a minimum of four runs, gonna be a good time.
