Thanks Dudes... I've played with quite a few acts, over the years, but this one was probably the coolest of all... Considering Gary Richrath had just passed, Kevin had never NOT played this song on stage, and "Ridin' THe Storm Out" was the last song Gary had played with REO at a benefit in 2013, I was honored and humbled that they thought enough of me, and or my playing, to give me the invite... Gary was a major influence on me, in my younger years...I still listen to REO/TWO all the time... Great record...

Hi Brent, being a home grown build it yourself Class Racer who runs a less popular combo and just happens to be a rock star is as cool as it gets IMO. I tell people all the time, if it doesn't make horsepower or music, I'm not interested, my world revolves around those two things. Congrats on a show you'll remember forever.

Awesome Brent! Couldn't you come to both races?

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
 

I dont see how, Bob.... would be cool...

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
 

Brent, did you get to make any run's on the car with the TH350 yet ? What did the data show ?

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
 

well, ended up running 11.39,11.401,11.39,11.39 and 11.387 one night, with some decent conditions...about 1st middle of September... but that was with the 400 trans.... Didnt see anything with the 350 trans... didnt match those #'s, 11.43 was the best, so far...not sure , maybe air and overall conditions werent as good... or the 400 is actually faster, in my case... although, the 350 seems to react quicker, the #'s dont really show any gains....

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
 

Kudos for plugging away at it Brent. :)

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
 

thanks Rich... im gettin real good at switching back and forth, from 350 to 400 setups.. hehe Funny thing is that the 350 basically showed no gain...kind of a wash...but, the car seems to feel a tad better on the launch, even though the ET slips dont show it...same 2.75 low gear. I havent tried that setup with the 2.48 low gear trans that i have... i find it hard to believe that this engine and gear would like 2.48 low, over the 2.75... Im gonna attend the Indy and Norwalk divisionals in May, then the big 462, 2.48 trans and maybe 4.30 gear, or the 4.10 will go back in for awhile...i miss running 10's and its gonna cost cubic dollars to get there, with the 400 engine... I havent given up yet...hehe
