Boise Test and Tune Report

Bob Gullett · 05-11-2007, 01:30 AM

11 PM and just got back from a great steak supper with good friends Norm Lapoint and Larry Klatt. Conditions at Boise were slow with the air averaging about 5700 feet DA. I ran good today but broke a gear set in the last run. Fortunatly I have another set and 2 hours later we're ready for tommorow qualifying. I ran 1.16 under and my wife Charlene ran 1.12 under in her Malibu. On a side note I am really impressed with Rob Youngblood's new 7 inch dual disc clutch. With out a word of a lie and not to be biased, but this clutch flat out is fast. I thought the 10 inch clutch was fast but his new 7 inch dual disc is even faster. (You should see his dual 6 inch) Only a few racers ran the test and tune day. Steve Wann is running a E/SA Mopar. I would also like to thank the News who operate Boise's track for offering the use of their shop to get out the hot sun to fix my car. Class act. Traction was great today. We didn't run until about 2 PM today so I'm hoping tommorow morning's conditions are faster. All we can do is hope.

Hope to see you soon.

Hey Bob,

Glad to hear you made it. I'd be out there, but my car's running an embarrassing 7 under BF/S and my turbo is now squawking. I just got my rebuild kit and will be tearing into it tonight. I'll be out there tomorrow to spectate and I'll swing by to say Hi.

It's projected to get up to 89 today, so if anyone is going for the record, the follow-up run in the afternoon may be a little toasty. Last week, we had unbelievable headwinds. Glad to see it's not like that this weekend.

Best of luck to all going for the record.

89 in Boise today? It's still in Idaho isn't it?

Maybe there is something to this global warming thing...
