And this deserves to be told- that this busy crew graciously took on the added burden of tutoring a rookie, by being my crew to test-run the lakester (all of 182 c.i.!) at Norwalk 2019. An invaluable opportunity and I can't thank them enough. |
Thanks Jack. I am glad I finally got to hear your engine run in person. With the changes you made in gearing and the priming system, the second run would have been much stronger and we would have had a chance to really hear that little Pontiac sing. But time and schedule wouldn't allow, I guess. As far as our crew, they work damn hard for cold pizza, that's for sure. We do practice our starting and staging procedures at home and we still need some improvement. Everyone has multiple jobs and then primary responsibilities. Eric is very organized and lots of things are written down. Diverse talents, not all die hard Pontiac guys. (sorry). Dave our master clutch man is as crazy about Oldsmobiles as we are about Pontiac's. He is in the final stages of finishing Joe Mondello's V O Twister II, not a replica. Tim Fields, the man with six eyes, finds all kinds of weird things going wrong right before they actually do. He finds the missing dzus fastener, the loose nut or bolt, the missing zip tie. And he is a Ford guy, ( takes plenty of crap from us for that). Next race for us is Funny Car Chaos in MI. Boss Bird will need to go 5 rounds to win. Serious challenge. It will be all Hemi's and us.
