I would be at my track if it didn’t get rained out!

No, TT Bill said him and Fulton would be there.

What do the spark plugs look like? Someone there should have a leak down tester and a compression gauge. A blown head gasket to the valley could show these results also.

I just told you what they said... he said they’ve been having trouble with it for quite a while.

So they miss the race and the huge opportunity to advertise because Lil Jack didn't go? That seems odd to me

Had them crack before, twice. Been down that road unfortunately.
It sucks for Keith. I just hope he keeps it a Pontiac.
Its not like this kind of thing has not had the owner get sick of it all and put a BBC between the rails.

He has been MIA for a while.

Is he waiting on a converter?

Warbird funny car is at Norwalk, it hasn't run yet.

Boss Bird went 6.07 @ 226 mph. Dad and I talked with Jerry and he said the car was there, the track was not. Eric let off a little during the run.

And STILL went 6.0x. Car sounds STRONG!

I think the boss bird ran a 6.05 @ 220 something shutting off a tad early.

My buddy’s Warchief had small stupid problems all weekend the last being his trans brake!

Don't worry Adam, motor not hurt. This vacuum pump and I on the quater mile, don't see I to eye. Was pulling to much vacuum so took some shims out. Now now have 9"hg at idle. But I think I blew the valley pan gasket the first oil down. Nothing came out vacuum tank the 2nd oil down. Most is back by the dist. Not trying my luck tomorrow.
