I have been down talking to Keith, and of course, we have them 1st round. They have only made 1 run and it was pretty ugly. They have been working on it all day, and he said they would be there in the morning. Chris was down here looking for some kind of sensor.

Dic Geary won class for the 1st time, so I think we are going out celebrating with them.

Our TPS went wonky on us.....It was reporting like 60% tp after keith stomped it and it hit 90.....so basically half the run was at half fuel flow even though the butterflys were open.

BUT Thanks to Ma Mopar and their Drag Pak Demo motor, which just happened to of course have the right sensor... Well.....Thanks to Dale Aldo, Brian Falzone , Evan, Darwin, and the rest of the Mopar crew we were invited to come steal it.

So thats in order, and the baro tables were off, so I have no idea whats gonna happen tommorow, BUT were not going to be running the Hills first round, a couple broken cars that didnt report created a shuffle in the pairings, the new pairings just got posted at about 9 o clock as we were looking at them they got replaced....

Well see the car was running spot on in Dayton at Keiths....now ? Its off, how much is altitude and the baro tables, well tommorow will tell, we were at 81kpa for the run....

But well do what we always do keep trying even when common sense dictates we should quit

Besides were having fun and the trip was worth it for friends and family for both sides of the team coming from SLC.

All good....

Sorry Rich.....you apparently didnt get or read the post of why the car was put up at that price....no suprise...
