Live from Orlando
 

We made the short trip over to the track yesterday with a lot of work to do (change oil, run the valves, change plugs, etc ). After completing the maintenance it was off for some runs. As you may know I changed over to a PG transmission from a C-4 at the end of last year. Well there's quit a difference in the car between the two trans (as expected). Over all the car is about a 10th slower with the glide but I think it is going to be a better race car. Making my first run with just a guess on the numbers it goes11.02 (not too hateful). After making a correction the second run it goes 10.900. I sure hope this is a sign of thinks to come. So its off to the races we'll see how things go from here. There's a good number of cars here, the run schedule for today I believe is for 3 time runs but with a chance of rain that may change. Photos to come

Robbie glad the PG did workout. Most of all enjoy yourself and win the event. Looking forward to the follow-up photos and comments. Wishing I was there but I should see you at Gainesville.

Re: Live from Orlando
 

Robbie - when I changed from the C4 to a glide mine slowed a bit more than yours, but it WAS more consistant and repeated better. By the way, if and when you see "Hollywood" tell him the polock in Connecticut said "Hi".

Re: Live from Orlando
 

Did you stay on alky, Robbie?

Re: Live from Orlando
 

PG is working out for you! Pick up any MPH?

You two enjoy it down there, snowing again here today and schools closed early but predicting 65 next week. Weatherman can barely tell you what it was yesterday.

Re: Live from Orlando
 

I believe my brother is across the road from you. See you in Gainesville.

Re: Live from Orlando
 

Robbie, Glad the tranny change-over worked out well for you ??? Hope the weather has been good down their, it was 12-13 here yesterday morning !!!!

You guys take care & enjoy the trip, " Most of all Good Luck "

Thanks, for all the updates ……..

We got our 3 time runs today and it was a beautiful day today no rain and temps in the 70s. The Da was around 1500 ft and the track was working well. To answer some questions. Lenny were not on alky right now but I have the alky carb and plan on doing a test with it later I'll post the results. Dave can't really say I picked up any MPH best C-4 run was 9.65 134.74mph 1/8 mile 110.43mph I did go 135.33 mph on another run. Best PG run so far 9.78 134.82mph 1/8mile 110.51mph (go figure).Ken what car is your bothers? Dave R. thanks see ya up north. We go right in to eliminations tomorrow there's a 50% chance of rain.Thanks for all the replies. Here's some photos from todays action.

Re: Live from Orlando
 

Thanks Robbie for the updates. Glad to see the .90 board starting to come back alive with posts about stuff. Ken told me at MG last year he was really trying to get the .90 side back to more reporting. As long as I have service this year at the tracks in D1 I’m sure myself or Mike Bodnar will update. I’d advise others to jump on board also, rather it be a Divisional, Nationals or local .90 Association event!!

Re: Live from Orlando
 

Congrats Robbie on the win! Nice way to kick off the season and get a leg up on the rest of the D1 crowd. Hopefully see you at a few .90 races this year!

Re: Live from Orlando
 

Well as you know by now we where lucking enough to come away with the win yesterday. I said all along the PG would make my car a better race car. This wins been along time coming ever since my lost in the semis in Memphis 3 years ago I've been in a drought. We won our last bracket race last year (with the C-4) then switched to the PG and won here. I just hope its a sign of things to come. Thanks to everyone for the congrats both here at the track on Classracer and thru facebook (on Teresa's home page) It truly means more to us then anything. Thanks
This is the finals with Kenny Dickerson

Congrats again Robbie, we had alot of fun cheering you on! See y'all soon.

Re: Live from Orlando
 

That Wally looks good with a red car but I think it would have looked better with a yellow car :D You got me by .002 at the tree and .002 at the stripe, that was a helluva driving job! I'm happy for you, maybe we can do it again at SGMP. See you in 3 weeks!

Re: Live from Orlando
 

Excellent way to start off the season Mr. Welch. It's always nice having a little extra spending money to get home on. Y'all enjoy yourself and we'll look forward to hearing from you at the next race.
