I think she meant "Arnie" and "Tempest", but that's ok.

Christina must get her spelling ability from her Mom, it's a darn sight better than her Dad's.

Ray said he needs to put out a thanks to TTS trnsmitions. The new trans really rocked and seams to have made the difference
in carring the wheelsinstead of dropping them.
Cowboy Mikes brother in law known on the board as mean ken. Won the American mussle car class and after going 5 or 6 rounds cut a perfect 000
light in the final round. the car ken beat in the final round was the one that put Mike out in the final round the car should actully should not have been racing because it was ileagle for the class
Bruce M set a new real street record at 8.69

When Dad gets home, have him explain in detail about what he found "wrong" with his transmission from viewing the datalogger results and what was done to correct it. The problem is apparently common with the TH400 tranny and I think Ray sharing this info would help out some folks.

Phil didn't break it was the track conditions.
He blew the tires off and so did dad. Dad was able to recover quicker and in second round Ray had the bad lane again and as the car came down off the wheelie the car got loose and came real close to the wall so he had to lift second round.It was a close race also. Rays sure mean Ken who watched it all from the stands will be home and will post what he saw also.

Give Us some credit here Dude this is the toughest class out there now the number 8 qaulifier went 8.30s! we detuned it to go down the track and only tru=ied 1 attempt for qaulifying & went 8.65 on a perfect pass we would have made more but the motor is still hurt so we wanted to stay alive by not risking another pass. we needed to go that extra round to finish in the top ten for the year in points and DID looks like we will be 7th or 8th for the year.

Phil did not give us anything! we detuned the hit to tame it on the line I would have taken out more but it was the max that my 7al3 box would allow. phil should have taken some out but didnt I was to the 330 before I lost it and had to lift he was still back at the line I was almost stoped before I got control and got back into it the times may not show it but we ran an excellant race. we need a different ignition system, to go forward it should have been in the car long ago but all the brakage kept that from happening. I think there was only one other nitrous car hooking better than us all weekend I shouldnt have tried to put the power back in on sunday but we needed it

Stay tuned Dude things just steped up you just dont know it yet

Chris, he does have a severe toe in issue...on both sides...but only when the chassis is unloaded (ie - wheels in the air). He has a rack up front, and it needs addressing. With the chassis loaded, the wheels point straight. He's aware of the problem but hasn't addressed it yet.

Brian with the new results this weekend I can now look at trying something again. the car carried the frontend and carried it high with the 38s in it. the hook was assum! then we put 40s in and it hooked but part of the problem was the track. now that we have the car lifting the front end, we will try to limit the traveml on the front to controll the wheelies some if we can limit the travel with out affecting the bite, there wont be a bump steer issue anymore.
