Dumbo The Flying Elephant

[Larry Hill]

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.

Photos would be nice......

FS/C?

[Larry Hill]

FS/C if I can get the current Champ to drive. Butt with my diminutive frame I will race it as a FS/D.

I've been working on pest control, the little bugs that keep popping up in different areas. I'm starting to have a little confidence in changing stuff inside the ECU, again thanks to Cooter, Randy, and David. The root of my problems with the car is my total absence of computer skills.

So if we finally get the car to the national event class level please understand it was not me that did it. It was all the smart people that helped.

Grunt work today, master cylinder is bypassing internally. Just another day at the office.
