The new paint job on the truck is quite cool. And speaking of Marc, I was on my way to Mom's last night-I got off the MA Pike in West Springfield to get on I-91 south, turned on 105.5 FM to listen to the Red Sox game, and on came .Marc doing an ad for Diamond RV

Just talked to Allen. Unless their back up this afternoon is faster, it looks like the new CC/SA Record is going to be a 9.16. I'm waiting for them to email me a data log to see if there is more there. If there is I will email a new tuneup to them for the back up run. Very humid there this morning.
Had a 1.27 60'.

Thanks for the great pics and videos. I really wanted to make it out for this race, but I just couldnt get everything back together... Hell the block is still at the shop getting honed...

On another note, does Garbarine's combo have a lockup torque converter?? Listening to the 'double rpm drop' at the shift in the in-car video it sure sounds like does ??

Ed , talk to Allen as well this morning about the record . He said keep it quite until they back it up and go thru tear down . LOL

[Tom Moock]

Ed, Todd Patterson second run 9.45 corrects to 9.31. Tom

[Ed Wright]

Not fast enough for back up, is it? Didn't change anything on my end. May have spun the tires. Been a problem. Off the line that thing has been like a virgin on the verge.
Thanks Tom!

Edit: I just talked to Allen, they got it and are pulling the head right now.

[Tom Moock]

Ed, 1.28 60ft. per 1320go.com 140mph not corrected. Tom

Sorry if the members got ditched yesterday but both Ken and I had their hands full most of the day and into the night .My bad luck of this week continued yesterday as most of the day was spent trying to hook the car up.

And for those of you who are always bustin' on me about not getting my hands dirty - where were you yesterday ?

I was there he was working not just laying down on the job.
