Yeah the AAA membership is a good idea...I should get me one of those too.

Dave, thanks a ton. That poweroutage really fudged up my harddrive....

See you guys Sat..

 

Just to let you guys know that Vince just confirmed with me that he is coming

His car went 5.7@132 in the 1/8 last weekend

 

And well....we broke the damn thing badly. I will tell you guys about it next weekend. Suffice to say that we thought all we had done was hammer a lifter but after changing lifters (which were hammered) and dropping the oil pan my worst fears were confirmed. The Lt1 block has its limits and I found them. The squeek we were hearing was from were the crank tried to walk out of the block and twisted a couple of caps. funny think was the motor still held oil presure. I am going to pull it out today and look at how bad it really is. The motor wasn't happy with what we tried to do to it. oh well aim for next season See you guys next week.

 

I would be changing clothes after that run.......did I read his sig correct? 9@160 mph

Gary

The weather for this saturday is looking good

BTW, 132 in the 1/8 is ~167-168mph in the 1/4 That would probably land an 8.4 sec run in Vince's car if it happened! Nuts....totally nuts

Yep the 9.0 pass was about two weeks ago. We suffered allot of wheel spin on that run and lost our round of eliminations to a 8.80 Mustang but all in all it was a good run for us.

On Saturday we put a big tune up in the car for the first time. How quick it could have gone will remain a mystery. The track was really good and some other guys had new bests and records were broken. ARE got it done and ran very well. I think they lost in the finals to very fast Mustang so at least some people had a good day.

I took it apart tonight. The crank suffered badly as well as the block. Going to have to see the experts tomorrow and see if it can be saved. The rest of it except for caps and bearings look not to bad. I have one smoked Oliver billet rod from heat but all in all it could be worse. I guess I'll know more tomorrow. The big question is the crank. I have a backup block machined and ready to go. I even have a couple of spare rods but the crank...well I never kept a spare Callies stelth around and by the time I buy one and prep it? Its not very economical.

See you guys on Saturday

Vince
