We made several changes to run SS, 4 cams, bigger tires and removed the alternator. On the first run the shifter hung up on the 4-5 gear change. On the second run the car rolled out of the beams. We finally got some good data captured in the Racepak on the third run which was a 9.91 @ 139.07. We determined that the clutch was too agressive. We then proceeded to take too much clutch out for class on Friday morning and went 9.88 @ 136.55. We then split the difference and tightened the clutch back up some for first round on Saturday. We dialed 9.98 for first round. Jmmy had Mike Saye on the tree, but took a little too much stripe. Looking at the data in the Racepak, it looks like we are pretty close on our clutch now. But that's all subject to change when we re-configure the car back to Stock.

We have the car apart now and don't plan to race again until the Norwalk divisional.

Look for another CJ in Super Stock at the Indy divisional.
