It will help her slow everything down and help make the runs more relaxed. Don’t fault anything she’s doing, just think that Frank’s tutoring and giving more insight into focus and the psychology of racing would be a great asset for any young racer. Again, great job by you both and good luck tomorrow if they get the National Open in.

Thank you, We're learning together and video in and out of the car every run has taught us the most. we did tighten the clutch up a little in testing (base) to further help with her burnout, which it has. We've run from 11lb to 13.5lb in the tires trying to see where an inconsitency might start but it's been all good. The starting line is really bald so I figure if it goes down this weekend it may just go down anywhere we race. I know there's lot's of adjustment here and we're trying to learn everything we can. So far I think we have a pretty good setup.

Todd and Autumn: nice progress!

Todd, let me know your thoughts on venting off the fuel pump area. I worked with that a couple years ago....there's more going on down there than it seems. -Al

I almost bored the pushrod hole out to the cam tunnel, wish I had.

Crankcase volume velocity through the oil drain back hole is impressive, to say the least......

Absolutely, I'll call you and give you an idea of my plan.

Todd,
Please post a photo of the engine compartment from the front of the car so we can see your great work.
Thanks in advance,
