ProBird strikes again
Rick went .003 in the finals tonight in Pro class at our track against last year track champion and got down to the top end put a fender on him and did the pedal feast across the stripe. Now that was a whooping. Good job Rick.

Thanks again everybody. It's been a very good year so far. I showed up yesterday with a hurt engine. It's having head gasket issues. Not a big deal as it hadn't lost any water as of the 3rd pass when I decided I better start looking things over. I was just trying to limp it through the day and maybe win enough money for a new set of head gaskets.
I knew it was going to be a long day after the first 3 passes. I went 6.07, 6.11, then 6.20. I couldn't get the car to hook for anything but most everyone else was running some of their best times of the season. That's when I started to do some investigating. I dialed from 6.23 to 6.18 and had I run every pass out it would have ranged anywhere from 6.05 to 6.17. I had to make sure I had a better reaction time than the other guy and make it as close at the stripe as I could. I don't think I made it to the mph stripe any of the passes before I started pedaling. In the final I knew I had to make it good and went .003 and closed up the finish line to .013. I dialed 6.18, ran 6.23, and looking at my 1/2 track numbers it would have run 6.05 so I killed almost 2 tenths on that pass. I just didn't have any idea what the car was going to run from pass to pass so I had to play the game a little different than normal. Anyway, it worked out for the best and the car made it through the day. Now hopefully I can get a set of head gaskets here and put on before Saturday night. Getting them here in time will be the biggest problem. How many passes are you guys getting out of a set of Cometics? I've made 114 passes with this set. I think they started going away about 10 passes ago.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
