Reading through here in a hurry and suddenly woke up ..........Is Charlie about done with the yellow Jimmy? When is that one going on its maiden voyage? I noticed the newer carb on yours Tim - is it a "Quick Fuel" set-up?

I'm back home now, can't stay all week as I have to get home to clean up everything before going back to work. Thanks for all the positive comments, I made 10 runs down the salt, five on course three and five on the combo course. I like the idea of the combo course but all I got was slower runs there so I went back to the number three. I feel that is where the best traction was. 147.19 on the first pass was the best we could manage. (5 mph faster than last year) The wind was a factor but in the end it was up to me and my tuning. I had one pass (#3) where two rockers backed off on me, I don't think it did any real damage but after I fixed everything I never did any better than 142. Bummer! Still had a good time, saw a lot of great people and came back alive.  There is still more there I think and we will find it at El Mirage in the next few months. Anyway, here's the best run of Speed Week 2013. If you listen to me at the end you can tell even I was impressed.
