Tucson Report
Seeing this is an altitude track, I won't bother with actual time digits.
But started out about 70 under. Raised the starting line RPM , raised the timing, leaned the fuel out.. etc. Last run last night, 86 under. First this morning 87 under. I guess that's okay for these inconsistent stick cars.
Fiddled around a bit more and ran 1.02 under ,then 1.04 under.
It's all coming back to me after 7 years off.

Main two things I learned are that I can't go through at 6300 with a stock cam, and that's not a good time to be shifting into 4th. It needs a better cam that will like RPM a little more.
Also, that it's really hard to set the rpm on 5 grand and watch the tree too, without a 2 step.

So at least two Christmas presents to myself. Anybody have a USA built 6AL and a two step that is just collecting dust? The cam won't be as easy but we're working on that.

I guess I'll be putting the paint job off for a while ;-)
