This our clubs third race of the season and after completely re-doing the fuel system, from putting in a fuel pump relay, to re routing the return line, uping the main line fuel pressure I was excited! Went out for my first time run and the car spit and sputtered to a tune of 1.96 60'. Talk about a swing of emotion! From excited to pissed in 2 seconds flat.
In the pits I found that the floats were off which I had set them at home and they were perfect or I thought they were. Decided to swap out carbs. and put a 1030 AED carb. on borrowed from a friend of nuclearcobra (Bryan). Second run car ran good with a 10.21. Weather was nice but the humidity was up. First round of elim. peddled to 10.23 with the win light. Made it through second and third round and started round robin. I had run a 10.18 on a 10.21 dial in the previous round but my opp. had a .004 red so I ran it out. Dialed a 10.17 for round 4 and off we went. Thought I was a little late on the light but knew it was close. Vega pulled out 2 lengths by the 330 mark but then the big block came to life. Ran him down but he got the win light by .0004 but I ran out with a 10.13. Bryan was at the starting line when my time came up and my son said he wished he had had a camera. He said Bryan was Friday nite at the races. Affraid in disbelief. A crate 460 with home ported A429 heads and comp. cam from Lem almost in the nines!!! Yeah baby!!!! Friday nite at the races. Icon_biggrin
Time to get cert. done and get licensed because it wont be long. Bryan you will spank me with your new SCJ's but I will keep gunning for ya! Friday nite at the races. Icon_lol We may race one day and I want it to be even up!!! Friday nite at the races. Icon_razz

On another note Bryan went to third round with his Mustang II and sitting behind him when he left the line there was a LOT of hood showing over the roof. Stout running little 302 even if it is on steroids! Friday nite at the races. Lol I will let him tell the rest of the story.

The spool helped a bunch. It took almost nine pounds out of the rear! There is more in the car I just need to find it!
