April 6 and 7, Lake Ming - Bakersfield CA
The fastest time was 105.6586 MPH with an ET of 10.107 sec.
Run 2 was 102.2727 MPH, ET 10.234 and the 3rd run was 103.2821 MPH with ET of 10.719 seconds.
Runs 2 and 3 were in the middle of the day when the air got hot!
The next race is May and this time I'm going to "step on it,"
All I have to do is change two pulleys on the engine to make the Blower turn faster to force more air and fuel in the engine. That's a cheap $$$ value compared to changing internal moving parts like I used too.
They have all the safety people out there with you and they respond as fast as humanly possible should an accident happen.
I really like this new game.

Hello Custom Linkage
Did you make the hull? I've never seen one before. If not, what's the history of them? I saw you run Sat., did you put you're diverter up at the end of the track, that was great. Best of luck

THe hull is made by Howard, but was originally made by Schiada as a v-drive GN hull in the early 1970's.

Excellent 1st time at the races Willis. Looks like you have the numbers to challange in the 10.00-10.49 bracket.
BTW, did you see that 1st time winner (PGJ), Bret Anderson get thrown in the lake at the trophy presentation. I'm sure you must know of that very old tradition where the crew and friends of a 1st time winner tosses him in the drink!
