Off to El Mirage today! Weather looks good for the weekend although a little cold. No problem, I like dense air.  God willing the old Y will pull the new 3.50 ratio and we will get close to that 150 mark.
Say a prayer and wish us luck!

Everything went well at El Mirage this weekend, although it was very COLD! Truck ran great but just couldn't hook up at the top end. Still ran a best of 142.5 mph, one mile faster than last month. Tried some different things today that didn't work out, I think I leaned the carb. a bit to much and I know now that "short shifting" is not going to work for me. All in all we had a good time! Fun with friends is always best.
Made aother run of 142.2 that felt like it could have been a bit faster if not for loose dirt at the end of the course. We'll get our ducks in a row for next May. Only video I made of Jake for the weekend.

Awesome Tim, Closed my eyes and listened to the sound. It could have been a Rousch Racing in car audio. That Y Block sounds like a NASCAR engine going up through the gears. X pipe really makes a difference. Do you think you hit on the correct rear gear?

X pipe really makes a difference. Do you think you hit on the correct rear gear?Thanks Royce! The gears have to be correct if I ever want to get to 160. The engine has a little trouble climbing in fourth but I think with a little tweeking we'll get it. There's still a few tricks left.

Tim, good work again and don't be sad... New records are waiting to show up next time. I know you are a big guy, but your driving position makes you look like a gorilla in the gage  . And that sure don't help you to shift quicker .
