Dumbo The Flying Elephant

I think I'm almost done and ready to test and get the car to go A to B. It's been a long time coming!

Man, I'm ready to see some action
Hope your hard work pays off

May I ask what you are hoping for performance wise?

What ever the car will do and go straight. Have everything work without any glitches. If glitches do appear try to solve them ourselves without taking time from someone else's day.

Yesterday Dumbo took flight. It was not pretty most of the time, but no crashes or near misses. The five people crew consisted of team leader Gary Jennings, wiring wizard Bob Toy, do whatever needs doing Chris Hill, the lady in charge of the pits Patsy Hill, and me the driver. Our "Phone A Friend's" were Randy and Cooter. I can't thank everyone enough!

What we did is generate a laundry list of what we know and think needs to be done to help it be competitive in class. As it is today we would just be in the way. I am a Class racer, after class then I want to win the race.

The day would have went much better if the driver didn't screwup, seems like every pass. After driving the Cuda for years it was hard not to shift Dumbo early.

Dumbo was able to run the index 1/8 mile before the end of the day. The Cuda took over a year to hit the IHRA 1/8 mile index.
