Default Re: What's your 2025 goal?

1. Finish the 3 major upgrades I am in process on (all 3 are a day or 2 from completion). It will make it faster, and bring the lights back to where they belong. (Looking forward to Winter 2025 for a couple more upgrades). Manual brake conversion, converter loosened, transaxle refresh).
Update as of the 11th...2 of 3 updates fully completed, and the 3rd 1 is the biggie, yesterday after initially finally getting the Holley Term. X initial install completed and the ignition finished and finally spark, the car fired for the first time (thanks specially goes out to both Greg Hogue - wiring, and Robin Lawrence for WBO2 parts and pcs and advice on getting that hooked up and ironed out), and I still have work to do, and bugs to iron out and tons new to learn to be tap, tap keyboard tuning it has been a long grueling tough but great experience to terminate and wire it myself and finally even it has not yet actually reached idle status yet, to at least hear it fire off a few times yesterday! I still have 13 days to get things fully ironed out before the 1st Test N Tune date on the 24th.

Goal 1-Check,: Goal 2-Check,; Goal 3- Fire In The Hole(s), and now to get it to just light and stay lit! (First up test the functions and review connections and just go back over everything to find out why the fuel pump primes with every key on, but why I have not yet heard the fuel pump come back on after it fires and dies. 1 step at a time. Sounds healthy though went it lights off.

Update 2 after a lot of diagnostic and connection checking, and going through all the long drawn out Fire Up checklist I learned everything is great...Except you cannot run a Terminator X on a Low Impedance Injector...Holley order placed. Goal 3 is in the bag...It ran! The car is almost race ready to work on accomplishing those below.

2. Get out and test early, get educated and used to the new Holley EFI system as fast as possible.

3. Get back to good consistent green lights.

4. Attend as many races as I filled out in the 2025 calendar (including my first Fling), travel a bunch more than the past 2 seasons.

5. Turn on as many (or more), win lights as I did the last 5 racing day of 2024, and the rest will take care of itself. More seat time is key.

6. Just continue to have fun racing again win or lose! Time at the track is about having fun with friends. Crewing for Scott McClay more is a bonus on his Comp entry.
