Thank you.

Yes. The Liberty LSC5100 was available.

Went out testing at Milan on Friday night.

First run was first and second gear only. Shifter hung up on 2-3 shift. Spun the tires.

On the second run I managed to get it in third gear but the shifter hung up going into fourth. I coasted thru the eighth mile with a 6.50 @ 104MPH. Sixty foot was 1.37. I determined that the removable shifter cover was binding against the 3-4 lever on the Jerico. After my second run I headed back to the shop.

Besides reworking the removable floor panel I also want to adjust the seat position back a bit, leak down, change plugs and look over my data logs. I hope to go out again next weekend if the weather holds out.

Driving out out of my shop.

Loading into the trailer.

Checking the fuel level.

Burnout for my second run.

Wow. When you get the shifter worked out it is going to be very quick.
