OK, this forum has been quiet for a while.
We are testing this Saturday. I know Gale Jenkins was out last weekend. What else is going on out there?

I cleaned nozzles and checked a few things yesterday. Moved tools to the trailer. Doug and I will go over the car and load it tomorrow. Hope to get a few runs in, early Saturday .
I take lots of notes and then forget where I "filed " them.

We ran a 1.11 60' 5.16et@ 135 mph. Had some electronic gremlins. I ordered some MSD stuff from Jeff @ Mullins. Starter was a problem too. It's at Mr. Auto electric. The heater/coolant system worked pretty well. Should have it back together Thursday and be at the track Friday afternoon.
I was told the track was a bit tighter the weekend before. The weather was better also.
Along with the new concrete , the staging lanes have new black top.

We found the main problem. The 2 1/2 year old Optima Red Top was bad. Got the warranty replacement this morning from Bloomington. Replaced the starter for good measure. Doug and I will be on the road to CID around noon.
See you all there! Safe trip.George
