The New Year is Almost Here !!!

I sympathize about the long wait.

Out here in D7, I'll be racing in two and a half weeks. Sometimes I miss spring and fall after moving from New York, but I've never really missed the winter.

D6 checking in here

I got frustrated with crap performance out of my new iron heads last year and pulled out in August. Changed bearings, hand filed rings, machined the manifold to match the heads and switched to 3/8 push rods. I put my Old Reliable Nothing to Shout About converter back in and loosened up the clutch packs a bit. Got the hood painted and striped to match the car, too. Switched back to power brakes and locked out the distributor again as the stud for the advance curve bushing was stripped out. Cleaned out the wiring and built a console for the center to move the switch panel off the dash for more of a stock look. Got the lower dash repainted and will paint the cage after I clean everything out.

A lot is done that is usually not by now. The car fires on demand and rolls in and out of the garage fine. Makes very good evil sounds. Extended Tech Inspection is March 9 at Bremerton (1/8 mile this year) and a few weeks later at Pacific. For the first time in history I'll make it. Looking forward to making class for SS/CS and earning grade points.

Yes, I'm stoked!!

Fielding 2 cars in 2019, both currently apart, lot of work to do. Plan is to be ready by April 1 to start testing new SST entry and put a few laps on the SC car before the MG Divisional.
