Yea , Allen call me yesterday and said he was going for the record this morning in the COPO. He set his first NHRA record at that track 35 years ago . Go Patterson Power

I will be surprised if the 9.44 CC/SA record last long.

I spoke to 1320go and they said ATCO has not signed up this year - I am not sure what that means - they were on last year - I would think it would be free for the track since 1320go makes money selling the information.

Too bad in this day of instant information

At least - thanks to Ken - we have this site

The story goes that the 1320 computer fried out the compulink computer system at atco and englishtown so neither of them are using live timing this year. Maple Grove then saw that and pulled the plug also. No live timing at any of these tracks this year. I would think Kay Fair and her husband would be able to fix this though and I am hoping they do.

On my way down to watch some eliminations, but philly highway is a parking lot as usual!

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 · 04-27-2013, 04:16 PM

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

Ed Wright · 04-27-2013, 05:02 PM

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.
