Nope, the smile (but, slight wince I see in the background of my 39 year this month bride), says to me "Don't even try that buddy"), and I will stick tothe original plan of just making this slow 1 faster and faster until is is bad fast for the class. And leave her (when the Good Lord decides it is my time to leave the planet for hopefully better things), just again hopefully, 1 complete and running slow go but bad fast race setup to sell in a single shot.

But, if I could find my 80's era 1963 Dodge Polara 500 bracket car (last seen in Dec. 1984 in a El Paso, TX salvage and impound tow yard w/ a highway robbery 5k towing bill attached to it). I would buy it back at almost any price and suffer that wince forever.

It was a magic car that earned me many more wins than I ever deserved.. A story for another day about losing the magic carpet ride.

So, for now list me in the group of the just 1 right now crowd. It is a smaller group.

Loving the Slobalt thread Mr.Buth, and the struggle is always real, but so rewarding when things just work.

I've been talking about putting a new head and cams in the car since the beginning of the year and now she's actually going to get them. Last weekend at Indy, we saw consistent runs between 16.06 and 16.14 across 3 days. Consistency is perfect, but we'd like to see a little bit more performance out of it.

Fun note: Blake Hooper drove the car in stock for the first time at Indy last weekend and made his first stock final! He was also the first person to ever race the Slobalt back when it was still a street car (c. 2020). He didn't win a single round in it that day and said he didn't ever want to drive it again...

Would it be too much to ask to get a full race recap? The race wasn't streamed and I would really enjoy a round by round break down from the race!

Also I know it's getting a head and cams, but could you recall for us what all has been done to it so far? I know you've tuned it and put some lightweight oil, but all the little stuff adds up too!
