First pass lifted the wheels off the ground and I saw sky! Second pass was a dud, you can here it fizzle out on my last shift. I changed plugs, added timing but I think the plugs fouled so badly waiting in the staging lanes running at idle.
I wish I had a video! I'll have the car at the track again soon and this time I'll make sure there is video.
Engine and axle headed to the doctor. Machine work will be done this week and hopefully axle will be straight also.
The 10th and final Meltdown Drags will be next August in Byron ILL. It'd be a bit of a drive from LA, though, (about 2000 miles).

Well, I have been CRAMMING all week, tucked in the Hemi, pulled my donor axle out and installed in the jigsaw, tuned it, new fuel linkage and ready for Nitro Revival racing tomorrow!
