Dumbo The Flying Elephant

[Larry Hill]

Put a different tune it and it didn’t like it at all, it fouled the plugs. 16 of them

With the help of my phone camera I was able to see what was way different in the information between the two tunes. Some information was fat fingered and some switches were turned on that did not need to be activated.

Dumbo is starting to act like a well behaved race car sometimes. FI is a lot like having a child. A child will let you know that they are not happy and want something to make it happy.
We lost in round one of eliminations but we ran dead on with a 3.

Dumbo ain’t exactly printing tickets but it’s at least in the same Area Code.

Working on the stuff under the hood to make more power. We made more power and now we have to figure out how to hook it consistently. We will be busy until Indy and beyond. We are not ready to complain about the track we have work to do. We have to be the one going down the track and our opponent might have traction issues.

Very slow week for me. I had cancers removed from my nose. Next day one eye swollen shut and the other one was only a slit. Chris had to drive me to Jerry Newsome’s house to help load the Jerry’s Challenger. Both eyes are open now. Doing breaks and bearings on trailer before next race.

I feel kind of foolish having to do this to Dumbo, I found out that I was breaking the rules on fuel check. After a run I would dip the cup in the tank to get a fuel sample. Travis told me that the sample had to be taken from under the hood. It will be fixed tomorrow now that I have my new valve and an adapter to mount the valve and fuel pressure sender in the fuel system. Also we will be moving some weight around to try to get the car to leave and not spin when it crosses the bald spots.
