John' I went to the track rental Friday at Lebanon it was 75 and sunny when we arrived at 9:30. We left at 2;00 and it had not rained yet but was expected. I took my Lemans and ran 12.89 with closed exhaust and MT drag radials. You could run non stop after 12:00 with no problem if you wanted to, the lanes were very short. Maybe next year we'll see you at a rental.

John, the Lemans always ran low 13.0? I upped the timing to 32 the rest stayed the same. The 60' was 1.74 and that was the best ever, usually 1.78-79. the 102.7 mph was also the fastest. I trailered the car as I always do, 4:10 REAR WITH 28" Drag Radials.

Thanks. Yah - we made the last minute decision to run on Sunday to avoid a possible rainy day on Saturday. The weather was perfect. I ran a best of 11.26 @ 120 mph with a 1.56 60 ft. It's the fastest car I have ever been in. I'm still experiencing an electrical issue. The engine breaks down / or miss fires in the higher RPMs.

I don't think it's carburetor. My Dominator has # 88 jets and I put the power valves back in. Timing is at 14 and 33. I grounded the MSD box to the head (instead of the firewall). By grounding it this way it did make an improvement. The car starts easier and seems to have a smooth 900-3,000 rpm band. Since this car was a complete rotisserie/full restoration... I think I need to chase all the grounds. Most things where painted - but I did sand clean spots for grounding. I think I need to re-look at what I'm grounding to. Another thought is swap out each electrical part one at a time to see if there is a cracked distributor cap, back spark plug wire, etc. The engine just runs rough / missing... I'm frustrated to say the least.

On the positive side - I learned a lot Sunday and learning my car. The car is pretty mellow doing a 1.56 at the 60 and hitting 120 mph thru the traps. Very straight and smooth. I ran my 28x12.5s MT ET Streets at 14 psi. I haven’t put on my Cal Traks yet either. My shocks are just some old worn out shocks I found! Once I can get this engine stumbling issue resolved I'm looking for 10s.

I was there on Saturday. When I arrived it was cloudy, then the sun came out. They were drying the track when I got there at 8:30am. It had poured the night before. I think they started to run at 10:30am.

However, water kept seeping through the track. They kept trying to dry it up. Every once in a while a car would get out of shape. Then at about 2pm, it started to drizzle. I put the car back in the trailer. I wasn't about to risk any damage.

They did give me a full raincheck, $30. Good until 10/08. But I won't be going back. Island and Etown are much closer. Atco is just as far as Lebanon for me. I would choose Atco in a heartbeat.

I do NOT have a blower on my P Dude 455 YET.

I will give you a hand in installing yours because it will make my install go easier.

If everything goes well, I may have one in the spring. College and teaching has to be my focus for now.

But let me know and I'd be happy to wrench with you.
