Re: Divisional at Famoso
MY mistake = The 301 is legal at this time.
The 666 which possibly is a better intake maybe is the one currently illegal on the 64 383. I assume that was the problem. The manifold rules have moved around a bit on this combo and I am not current on it.

I replied in the affirmative. He then said "Do you want to fight me". I have never met him before. Most of you guys know I am in my Mid 70's and I am struggling just to walk around after my last couple surgeries. These gentlemen are 1/2 my age!! I am very surprised at this situation!!

Re: Divisional at Famoso
It has been awhile since I've won class. If anyone wonders at times why we class race. First the build up on the scales "your good!" Then Pat hands you the trophy, shakes your hand "Nice Job!" Then they called us for photos. As you coast your hotrod to the lanes I heard "nice Job, way to go." I could only wish my wife was there. Besides her support. She also would have told me my face was as dirty as it could get. Great fun!

Re: Divisional at Famoso
No worries John. Got your back. Our very own eagle eye in division 7 and traveler spotted the infraction before the fuel check was complete. You'll have to guess who.
I had the pleasure of pitting next to Chad and Sherry Langdon. What great folks! I enjoyed hearing Sherry scream with excitement from afar. Chad was driving great. I broke a starter after first round of class and Chad was there to save my butt and I was able to pull off the C/SA class trophy. The traction was tricky to say the least. During class while helping the champ in D/SA. We ended up putting weight back in. Myself I lowered my launch RPM to 2400. One racer ask if I leave at idle...nearly! I enjoyed getting to visit friends, to tell old fish stories, have a bunch of laughs and some very close races that sure were a great time. Paul Haszlauer 7019 C/SA |
