I hope you realize theres a bunch of us out here pulling for you guys to turn things around and have some success. You've definitely paid your dues,, I'm thinkin'.
Good luck the rest of the way to BOTH of you.

Thanks Danny and everyone else... So far, I think Rich has had way more to deal with, up to this point... Hoping both or our woes are about to cease...
We would probably be a good race... We need to do a match race down in BG, before the season ends...

Just let me know when you are coming. Be great to meet you face to face and look at the car.

It'd be fun to get down there for the BG points meet, right before indy... Dont know if i can do it, yet, but that would be a great race to attend. Ive raced at BG once, in 2005 , at an NMCA event, and also, been there with my brothers' car a couple times... its about 4 1/2 hrs for me...

Well... I ran 4 passes, here are my last two pass slips.. 11.63 worst 11.62, 11,63, 11.59(figured out better shift point, won that round), and 11.617( major rain front came in, didnt dial up, lost a .005 race to the points champ...
shifting at 5700, trapping at 5800-5900... leaving at 2500( was comfortable). All in all, good day...didnt set records, but im 100# heavy for E, so, i will add 40 or so, and run F... need to get to 3635, im about 3575 right now. Gonna change to my high pressure springs and put some gear in it!

Brent,

Was that at Muncie? Haven't been up there since the 80's. They still run the 1/4? I remember one lane had a "dip" at the end, don't remember which one. If I may ask, what time do they typically start practice and eliminations?

Only car I have ready to run right now is the Achieva. I have the urge to get some track time again.
