Put my old carb back on then my crank trigger started acting up. Wouldn't rev past 6500 and went 9.17@ 145. I'm pretty sure getting the rpm's up to 7400 it would be 9.0's maybe even better.
All said I'm happy with the results.

Went out yesterday. Had to use my buddies car(that's another story).
1st round had a .013 light had a problem getting the car to shift. Bought back in drew one of our really good racers he had a .009 light to my -.002. Damn red lights. Oh well see if I can get mine figured out for next week.

Just Friday at Edgewater in Cleaves Ohio
My girlfriend and I took her car done and she kicked butt. She got her best time a 10.93 at 123mph. We had a great time -there was plenty of racing and the weather was great.

Went to Indy Divisional race a couple weeks ago. Cold as hell and the track was slick as snot. Didn't get to much testing but we did get a point.
Heading to Topeka Kansas for the NHRA Summer Nationals next week.
I'm running A/S, Tim my oldest son is running C/S and our good friend Garrett is running S/ST.
Hope to at least have some fun and watch some great racing. Still chasing that first Wally. :lol:
