LIVE from MIR Pro-Am

[Michael Beard]

I still haven't figured this place out. Air reads worse, cars go faster. Out by .005 yesterday, out by .004 today. -sigh- I leave you in the capable hands of dragracecentral.

See y'all in Concord next week.

Beard,
Thats the Creek for ya. I slowed .02 second rd. sf I broke out .03 killing 5 mph.

D.J. looked good in the wagon. Wheelie Bars???
Congrats to Eddie Jr. and Bogan on their Stock wins.
Beards car looks more like a racecar with fat tires on the front.
DW what happened to the deuce???????

Ever notice how Live from any IHRA race will get you about 2000-3000 hits and a Live from any NHRA gets you 25000 plus. It isn't that NHRA racers won't just go to their races they won't even look at a Live from IHRA wherever on the internet. LOL

NHRA has all the big names. Pure and simple.

Chip ,at first we thought the engine locked up. I called myself checking down the list
water full in radiator
no dents in pan
pulled valve covers and everything in place

pulled plugs and all good ( did find not enough jetting )

so i just pulled the plug for the day and time had run out for 1st round..
Got home and thinking all the way to the shop i decided to to look at torque converter...

Guess what ,,,,one bolt had came out and wedged between flywheel and motor in a very hard place to see.
Got bolt out after about a 30 minutes battle.. Replaced bolt and checked over everything once again and cranked the motor and ran perfect.....
Glad we don't have to pull motor . Just was not meant to be at 1st round for some reason ...

It is fixed and ready to battle again.
It was not a total lost as we did re-set the L/SA record at a 12.21..which i am very proud of....

That's because people check back on those thread multiple times to see how many people have parked on Wednesday...

Here's a couple more pics. Again, sorry I couldn't get more. The program ran pretty fast, and Super Stock was usually running before I could get up there.

How many SS cars did you guys have?
