Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
 

I have good help at the shop. They are qualified and experienced, and sometimes, well, beyond helpful.

Example, this morning we rolled the Super 10 out for a wash job. We are busy, phone going customers coming and going, then it begins to rain, truck still outside. After a while I realize the only way to finish washing is to stand out in the rain and get er done. So I am out in the rain, wash bucket and wash mitt in hand, getting wetter by the minute.

Just as the rain increased one of my most helpful mechanics hollers, "hey boss man, you will never get that truck dried, it's raining!"

new valve covers that allow plenty of rocker arm clearance.

We are moving our race outing forward to the next available date for a local bracket race. A few minor fine tuning items remain on the punch list and in order to make this weeks race would require a last min rush.

I am old and it is miserable HOT in Texas and I no longer do rush jobs well, especially with my personal projects.

Speaking of hot, check the Texas heat drivers fan.

Note these Doug Lee valve covers, excellent work. A good guy doing a great job. http://propan.net/

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
 

Team Woodfin and the Super 10 had a good outing at the Lucas D 4 race this weekend.

We had four excellent runs then while staging for first round the carb flooded out and killed the engine. There I set with pre-stage light on and engine dead, whew, not a good thing.

It re-started, blubbering, I manage to keep it running and stage, but as you could expect, late reaction and would not run the dial.

It was a very disappointing and frustrating end to a good race outing.

Yet, I am happy with the performance, 10.39 twice and 10.40 twice

It is a minor problem with an easy solution, we will race again another day :)

I am very pleased with the overall Super 10 package. It fits me well, I can get in and out easily, visibility is good, and chassis works well.

I like the look, the step bed is unusual, and I like being different [in a good way]

The only area that has not performed as expected is the fuel system. The fuel pressure is erratic and more than once the pressure spiked upward and caused the carb. to flood.

In talking with other racers and several vendors I bought a Product Engineering bypass regulator with jets in the return lines.

Photos tomorrow.
