Dumbo The Flying Elephant

[Larry Hill]

Yes. I just have to get better. I am down a full tenth. Got to pick the runs apart the get what we can to help close the gap. And you know the competition is working hard to stay in front.

The time spent at the school for me was well spent. The emphasis was on all things, wiring do?s and don?t, fuel system plumbing and monitoring, how to protect the systems from the elements and unseen but very real threats to the system. The flexibility of the system to do a host of other things in the street rod world from intermittent wipers that come on automatically to controlling the A/C. Tuning the engine.
Mr Tom the instructor was just great at explaining how the magic worked and how to apply it all with a sense humor. He made me think with a little smile on my face.
And the food was good.
I don?t know if we will be any faster but I will have more confidence in my quest for performance.

When you wake up in the middle of deep sleep and have been dreaming about adjusting the fuel I believe there was a no hope for me.

When I had my Max Wedge car I used to wake up in the middle of the night thinking about perfectly sealing the intake manifold.
If you have ever raced a Wedge you know what I'm saying!

Well Dumbo is having to take a backseat to family matters. So this winter will be spent being grandparents and helping our son recover from a broken leg. Years ago we planned and constructed for wheelchair accessible ramps and lavatories. Having to press them into service took a little bit of rearranging but it has payed off.
So y?all have a good off season with a good Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas

[Larry Hill]

We have the house just about broken leg friendly. Between a walker, a wheelchair, and a little help everything seems to be working out. We have been to two basketball games so far and have dined out once. He works every day a little longer to keep the business going. We installed some anti slip treads on the wheelchair ramp to give it more traction. Still have to make a transition pieces for a couple of places. Things are looking up for us.

Big improvement in mobility for Chris this week. The last wheelchair access will be improved this morning. Basketball game for granddaughter tonight at home, after game travel to Bowling Green for the last course in Holley EFI. Im still not very good but getting better, I just about have all of my head out of the sand. Finish the corse Sunday and then off to the PRI Show to see new things and old friends and foes

[Larry Hill]

Another day of Holley FI class. With all the help Chris gave me I was able to follow along and almost keep up. My class mates jumped in to help when I got lost. One of the benefits of the class is the discounts the classes gets on the products Holley sells. By the time I get some more stuff for Dumbo it will deeply offset the price of the school. Lunch time is long enough to take a spin around a virtual road corse at the Corvette museum where the class is being taught.
If your thinking about taking the course do not drag your feet I am sure they will fill up fast. Day two is tomorrow it should be entertaining.
And the food is good for breakfast and lunch.

[Larry Hill]

The PRI show gave me access to some of the people that could supply me with some answers. Questions about rods, rings, FI, blocks, and just a bunch of other stuff I needed to know about. Now if I could just remember.

[Larry Hill]

The seat of my pants is not good enough to help with the performance of the car in the first 60 feet. So Santa please bring some shock sensors and some new rear shocks.
