    I p***ed you Monday evening. Your truck and a Camaro pulling a trailer, were sitting in a pull-off along the two lane section of 16 just outside of Coshocton.
     
  3. Jim,

    Missed your run today, as I didn't get to track until just before 10. Left the house a bit after 4 am, 325 miles, border crossing and 2 huge bridges. But it was fun to watch everybody.

    My tach died this morning. I need one. Looking around for a race that has a spare. No luck so far. Probably will bum a ride to a parts store and buy one

    You carried the wheels!
    And it looks like the AutoMeter tach improved your time.

    thanks!

    I stuck around a while and hung out with Brian and the Street Fuel Coupe. Wild car! helped them get it set up to run on the street, but it would not stay runing on gas, and time was running out so they loaded it on the trailer and will haul it to National Trail, hoping to make an exhibition p*** in the afternoon.

    stopped for the night outside Dayton. we don't have to be to the track till around 3 pm, they are running the SME cars first.

  22. 1474057827468.jpg staged and used the air brake. The car responded by dropping alot on the 60 foot. Clicked it early. Plugs look better i went from a 105 down to a 95. With the extra fuel it was also better on the burnout. I was able to get some wheel speed up. Backing up went much better today. At indy as i was backing up i pulled the shift ****ons into 1st gear. I felt the car surge back. I was almost unable to stop the car. Today i left it in third. It was just fine. I just need some more seat time. Every car will tell you what it wants. We have been all ears this week. And its still in one piece.

    Talk about high drama! Reading this thread makes my gas pedal leg shake. Jim, if you peel a tenth of your 60ft you are looking at a single digit ET on the other end. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya.

    All you guys have fun and good luck.

    -Abone.

    Late entry of squirrel's run at Indy.

    Also late start of the recording. Blame it on operator error.
