[PONTIAC LARRY]

Thanks guys, I ran two classes yesterday Pro and Modified and had some trouble with my relocated alternator belt coming off unknowingly on my first time trial. I had recently switched from clutch fan and stock water pump to a electric pump and fan and had track tested once after added the SD scoop to the steel hood and cutting the hole. That day I had added ballast in trunk to my trunk to slow car down to fit in the bottom ET allowed in Modified (7.25 ET and Slower) and the car ran dead on 7.25 , fast forward a month to yesterday and its hotter out so I put ice in my vintage cool can and retained all the ballast and sure enough the ran exact same as the last pass a month ago and went 7.25 again... then I hot lapped to do another time trail for other class not knowing belt was off and battery is going South quick but I was unaware . Got delayed in a traffic jam at end of track waiting for time slips car started getting hot so I shut it off but then battery was dead and couldn't restart. Had to get walk and get help and jump box. my club members had a generator and charger so while I was doing that the track guy I talked to actually found my belt and returned it to me. Got it back together for Round one Modified and after hooking hard on both time trials it blew the tires away like there was water and well that blew that round. Belt rolled over but was still on so at least I could then hot lap to first round of Pro knowing the belt is toast on this next run. Had a good close race but lost. Ran 7.33 on a 7.30 dial to 7.59 on a 7.57 because he got my ass on the tree he had a .02 light. I just went straight onto the trailer as of course the belt was gone again and I was done either way that race went.. I am going to install my new aluminum Summit 11 bolt mechanical pump and the RELIABLE clutch fan and shroud ! I really wanted to keep this car all mechanical anyway.
