My Tempest is running, but with only one more race date this year (December 6th). They're running jet cars that day and I'm not sure about track prep. Still working on my tune-up. Made a couple of high seven-second passes last time out, but I think there's a tenth in the tune and another tenth at the starting line with a little more work. The schedule for 2015 isn't out yet, but I've got some off-season work to do: oil change, check compression, new front tires (purchased, but not installed yet). I hope to have it all sorted out by Pontiac Heaven in Phoenix in April.
